One of East London's most gruesome legends is associated with the Bow Flyover. The notorious gangsters the Kray Twins murdered the criminals Jack 'The Hat' McVitie and Frank 'Mad Axeman' Mitchell. There has been much speculation about how their bodies were disposed of and some claim they were laid to rest in the flyover's foundations before being entombed in concrete. Other theories state the bodies were put in the heating boilers of local public baths, placed in the boilers of Bankside Power Station (now the Tate Modern), cremated by a criminal associate who was a crematorium worker, and dumped in the sea. It is unlikely that the bodies were placed under the flyover as the presence of corpses in the concrete would have weakened the structure. #London #crime #gothic #psychogeography #weird #architecture #death #folklore #history #urban #cities

I'm old enough to remember when all 'proper' photography was in black and white - only bourgeois holiday snaps and advertising work were done in colour. I still like to visit that old, monochrome world from time to time...
