The Crown and Dolphin
Cable Street, St George's. 19th Century stucco-trimmed former Charrington's pub, it closed in 1992. The crossroads in front was where John Williams, a seaman accused of the notorious Ratcliffe Murders in 1811 was buried with a stake through his heart after dying in prison in mysterious circumstances and being paraded through Wapping. In 1911, road-diggers accidently revealed what remained of the body and the landlord of the pub apparently took the skull as a souvenir.
