Geocache Description:

The last resting place of the Kray Twins. Chingford Mount Cemetery, Chingford, Essex. Please check the closing times when you arrive you wouldn’t want to spend the night in here.This multi will take you around the East End and might take more than one visit to get all the coordinates but good luck and have fun...

My Father never proclaimed to know them but he lived and worked in the same areas that they called there manor. My father was a tally man and worked for G.U.S and Blundles during the sixties later he went on to run his own money lending firm. Later he co/founded the company called O.T.V which is still running today. Sadly my father died 10 years ago and with him all the tales of the east end. The places I have visited in setting these multi caches bring back many memories of working with my dad in the east end.

I hope you enjoyed the sites of notoriety that I have taken you too and spent a lot of time researching them for authenticity as you would expect everyone claims it’s this pub or that club that was part of the story of the Krays… Some of the places have gone so where posible it's the next best thing.

By now you will have acquired all the coordinates from the places that the multi caches have taken you too. I hope you have enjoyed this multi cache it took me ages

On Tuesday October 24th 1933, at 8 a.m., Violet gave birth to twins -- boys who would be christened Ronnie and Reggie. Reggie came into the world first -- ten minutes ahead of Ronnie. They would grow up to become, arguably, Britain's most famous and infamous gangsters. Their rise to prominence was inextricably linked to their birthplace and its legends and folklore.They were born in Stene Street Hoxton But grew up in Valance road,so this is where your quest will begin.

The Blind Beggar Pub is at the junction of Cambridge Heath Road and Mile End Road parking can be found in Sainsburys car park round the corner N51.31.235 W000.03.415

H,I are to be found here

The first thing that stands out about the Blind Beggar pub on the Mile End Road is the colour red. The ceiling is thickly coated with a deep red paint, the walls are red and even the light bulbs are red. This décor might sound a bit garish to look at, but it's not the real reason that the pubs is now a tourist attraction - the real reason for that is the Krays.

On March 9th 1966, Ronnie, Reggie and other members of their firm were drinking in The Lion pub when they were informed that Cornell was drinking in the Blind Beggar pub just down the road.

At 8.30 that night, Ronnie and one of his associates walked into the Blind Beggar, only to be met by a sarcastic greeting from big George Cornell. Ronnie didn't hesitate as he pulled out a pistol and shot Cornell three times in the head.

On a Thames water control box under the beer garden sign is a contact phone number you want the last two digits

Jack the hat McVitie Evering road corner and Jenner Road here you will find A,B and K

McVitie had been an associate of the twins for some time, and although he never actually belonged to the Firm, he was used regularly employed by the twins to commit various jobs for them. Ronnie had paid McVitie in advance to kill Leslie Payne, whom he believed was going to inform on him to the police. McVitie never carried out the execution, but stupidly kept the money. And if that wasn't dangerous enough, McVitie had the cheek to threaten several bar owners who were under the protection of the Krays. McVitie was riding for a fall, and on October 29th 1967, he was invited to a party with some of his underworld associates and their families. What McVitie didn't know was that the twins had arrived at the party first and had spent an hour clearing away guests. When McVitie walked in, Reggie put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Fortunately for McVitie, the gun jammed, which caused Ronnie to lose his temper in a most violent manner. A brief scuffle ensued, and encouraged by more violent twin, Reggie threw down the gun and turned on McVitie with a knife, eventually stabbing him multiple times in the face, chest and stomach.

Parking can be found at N51.31.793 W000.00.911 this is a burger take away so you could stop before your journey to Chingford The best direction is from Mile End Station

E and F are here to be found John McVitie was a tough, hard man. He was better known as Jack 'The Hat' because he was never ever seen without his trilby. He was losing his hair and Couldn’t bare to let anyone see his bald patch. Rumor has it that he Didn’t even take it off to have a bath! He could handle himself in a scrap And wasn't afraid to speak his mind. The problem was he was usually out Of his mind on drink or drugs.

By 1967 Jack was a loud-mouthed drunk, he was not only dealing in drugs but Taking them as well. He was getting arrogant and abusive, threatening the Twins and causing trouble to many of their friends. He caused some damage in Freddie Foreman's club in Balham High road and he had to be thrown out.

Jack's body was wrapped in an eiderdown and bundled into the back seat of a car. Tony Lambrianou dove it while his brother Chris and Ronnie Bender followed. They had planned to take the body to South London and dump it there so That the Richardson’s associates would get the blame.

They Eventually left the body outside a church called St Mary's on the south Side of the Rotherhithe tunnel. When the Twins heard where they had left the body they went mad. The corpse was on the doorstep of Freddie Foreman, a great friend and associate. Some phone calls were made and the body was swiftly moved before it could be found. It has never been found to this day. Freddie Foreman, after many years, has admitted to helping in the disposal of Jack's body and is probably the best qualified to point you in the right direction.

So I can only speculate where his body is for the purpose of this cache you can’t be expected to look in Scotland or a pig farm in Essex. The same can be said if you had to look in Canvey Island. So maybe he is in the cement of the Bow flyover?????????

You will need to walk around under the flyover which is okay as there is crossing points for pedestrians but keep your dogs and kids close by.

This is what's needed here; under the flyover are some lights attached to the middle of the underside? How many are there?? That gives you a two digit number.

Next how many pillars support the fly over?? That also gives you a two digit answer.

Add the two numbers together =?? Your answer will be a two digit number you only want the second number. This is the letter E…

Now in one corner of the flyover (still underneath) is a five foot gray control box. There is a number on it.

?240-A-TV you need the first digit. This is the letter F

Chingford Mount cemetery,chingford,essex please park in here for the final stage to the multi cache *FREE PARKING* Just watch the time of closing.Here you wil find the letters L,D,N


It was estimated that up to one hundred thousand people lined the streets of the funeral cortege, crowds standing six deep along Bethnall Green Road. “It’s an East End event said a woman. I think they were a legend. The public liked them. They were gangsters.

The Metropolitan Police Force were in attendance, manning the route to maintain control, eight inspectors, twenty-six sergeants and one hundred seventy officers taking to the streets to ensure public safety. Police from six districts were called in on the mammoth crowd control exercise along the nine-mile funeral procession from the East End of London to the cemetery in Chingford, Essex.

Alongside them, almost 400 burly, sinister looking thugs in long leather jackets or Crombie overcoats wearing red armbands and lapel badges with the letters RFK (Reg Kray Funeral), provided a private security guard for the procession. 18 limousines carried family and friends, two being reserved solely for the huge collections of flowers and wreaths. One, from actress Barbara Windsor said simply, “With Love.” Some read, “Respect,” “Legend,” “Free at Last,” and “Beloved.” But perhaps the most telling of all was “Reunited at Last.”

On the back of ther mother and fathers grave stone is a code number that the cemetery uses for line and plot and block number
This is a five digit number followed by the letter B and then a final number 8

(7)-(L)-(D)-(N)-(7)
this looks like 7.?.?.?.7./B.8


Now put it all together and look for the cache.
