On 6 August 1888, Martha Tabram, who has been posited as the first victim of the serial killer Jack the Ripper, was drinking ale and rum with another woman, and sometime prostitute, Mary Ann Connelly (known as "Pearly Poll"), and two soldiers at the Angel and Crown. The four of them paired off, left the pub, and separated at approximately 11:45 pm, each woman with her own client. Tabram was found murdered the next day, 7th August, at nearby George Yard Buildings.
