It's a sad thing that this industry is no longer as big as it was. The Whitechapel bell foundry, which, as you say, has been going since the 1500s, is completely shut down now — it looks like a hotel is going to be moved in in its place, a sort of hipster kind of hotel.

Other times Whitechapel came up

  1. The Jack the Ripper tours are quite mad but my favorite tour is a tour that was set up in about 2017 in Clitheroe which for those of you don don't know the UK, is in Lancashire, about 250 miles away from Whitechapel.

  2. My favourite tour is a tour that was set up in about 2017 in Clitheroe, which, for those of you don't know, the UK, is in... Lancashire, about 250 miles away from Whitechapel, it's the Jack the Ripper tour. It was started by a tour guy called Simon Entwistle, who just sort of noticed that bits of Clitheroe, actually, they haven't been developed very much since the 19th century, so they look a lot more like what Jack the Ripper would have experienced than London.
