Interior of the old house, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Interior of the old house, 1844. Building in Clerkenwell, London. The mode in which this house is internally disposed denotes it to have long been " a den of thieves" ; and up to the last Middlesex sessions it was tenanted by persons of dishonest and abandoned habits. It has all the conveniences of a hiding-place, with concealed means of escape - in dark closets, sliding panels, and secret recesses, and by as many trap doors as in the stage of a theatre. By passing down one of these traps, the pursued could elude the vigilance of the police, by getting through a window and crossing the Fleet Ditch over a plank which was kept at hand, and afterwards drawn into the opposite house. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
