Comments on: Black Raven Alley https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/02/24/london-night/black-raven-alley/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 17 Apr 2019 09:24:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.13 By: Vincent O'Loughlin https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/02/24/london-night/black-raven-alley/#comment-1281321 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 09:24:44 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Black-Raven-Alley.jpg#comment-1281321 Black Raven Alley ran south from 105 Upper Thames St down to Swan Wharf (The building in darkness on the left), just to the west of London Bridge. The building on the right of the photo is the Old Swan pub, 7 Swan Lane (Swan Lane ran parallel to Black Raven Alley). The archway on the right led through to the City Commercial Wharf on Old Swan Lane.

The entire area was destroyed during the first days of the Blitz in Sept 1940.
