Cheshire Street (shown on Victorian map above) is a street in east London linking Brick Lane with Bethnal Green and Whitechapel. In later life the Blakes could be found living in Mape Street. Cheshire Street has had various names in its history, such as Hare Street, and today forms part of Brick Lane Market on Sundays. The Cheshire Street part of the market is home to various bric-a-brac stalls; prior to the area becoming popular with artists, the market was a source of basic items (clothes, toys etc.) for working people from the East End. The street runs parallel to the former Bishopsgate Goods Yard and the main railway track into Liverpool Street and the railway viaduct that used to carry trains into the good yard is one of the oldest brick rail viaducts in the world, the listed Braithwaite Viaduct. It is possible to see the original brick work of this viaduct from Grimsby Street, a tributary of Cheshire Street. The old Carpenters Arms pub, now re-opened, is also located on Cheshire Street. The notorious Kray twins bought the pub for their mother, who used to hold court in it at weekends. According to the last proprietors of the pub, the Krays installed a bespoke bar surface during the time they owned the pub - the surface employed was allegedly a coffin lid. Reggie Kray's funeral procession went along Cheshire Street in 2000. 1851 Census William Blake Head Married 58 Master Glass Cutter Streatham, Surrey, England Mary Blake Wife Married 57 - Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Charles Blake Son Unmarried 21 Glass Cutter Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England Emma Blake Dau Unmarried 18 - Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England James Blake Son - 13 Scholar Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England Esther Blake Dau - 12 Scholar Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England
