    Having written books about Jack the Ripper, Dr Stephen Ward, and the Essex Boys, ive always thought that there was no point writing about the krays. But this video was very interesting, and I might write about people from that era. The big irony is that I think society was better in those days.

Mrs Kray had given the krays twin pram to my mother in law

    You can almost feel Nipper tense up when the interviewer asks him about agents they might have had. Cooper was an agent but Nipper didn't find out til afterwards and he was furious with duRose for keeping it from him. This was Nipper biting his lip and being diplomatic but still fuming lol

    This documentary is an amazing survivor, an even more amazing that it was made for TV in 1969 (in colour). It's filled with interviews and footage of the area that likely only exist in this one recording. The Kray's retained a fierce outside persuasive power after they were locked-up, about who & how they were portrayed on paper, or film.

    She told me she served Charlie Kray the day Ronnie and Reg switched clothes so Ronnie could absconde.
    She said the Hospital Authorities did not realise they had switched till 3 to 4hrs later after all the families had gone.

    The houses were demolished to make way for 'slum clearance' in 1969 however the houses in their place obviously weren't built until at least the 1980s! So the land was just waste land for over a decade in the 70s?

    • @SteveSmith-zo4ml
      @SteveSmith-zo4ml Місяць тому

      It might have been. I was on Vallance Road circa 1990 and my recollection is that the site was vacant. Not 100% sure, but I do know that some of these east end slums were not demolished for 10 years or so after occupation ended. And some sites have still not been properly redeveloped - instead being used for ‘temporary’ commercial purposes.

    On viewing this documentary in addition to many I've seen in the past, as an aside observation just noticed a picture of a 'Spanish dancer' hanging on the wall above the Kray twin in 'Vallance Road'. Curiously I have in past tried to find out who the artist was who painted it so I might obtain a print in some form? Reason is that my parent's in 60's had this picture hanging in our living room.........
