I love watching old videos about England and London especially before the replacement programme and demographics of race,religion,culture etc all changed..being born in the late 1970"s i can remember the last bits of a different era.
I met George Dixon at Castleward Motors in Colchester in Essex were i was a mechanic back in the early 90's he used to be a car trader & he told me that story & showed me the bullett he always wore around his neck great fella
My parents had a pub in the east end, late 60's. I was still at school in Hackney, but worked in the bar clearing glasses etc. at busy times. One day my father said to go upstairs and not to come down until he called for me. Never happened before that day. My father was told that the twins were planning to visit the pub and I was not wanted anywhere near. The short visit went off without incident, much to my father's relief. Not far away was another pub, famed for only having people in after hours. I heard some disturbing stories about the goings on in that place. That was the closest I got to them, thankfully.
met charlie once as he was behind the bar serving very charming with big grin but he was not that big but my brother inlaw said you don"t have to be big to pull a trigger lol frankie frazier was little too ....😎😎
George and Alan Dixon were the uncles of actor Craig Fairbrass, who plays Pat Tate in the Rise of the Footsoldier movies, he was also going to play Lenny McLean in a film about his life years ago, maybe McLean wanted him to play him partly due to the fact that he was from the East End and the nephew of the Dixons. There seems to be quite a few guys from the 60s who were just as tough as the Krays but don't really get spoken about much, like the Dixons and the Nash's
I know George more than the other brothers met George 15 at Plough and Harrow Leytonstone nowdays see George regularly have a cuppa in Clacton where we live George still keeps wel and fit
Hi mate. Looks like you have been working hard to build a great channel here. There is so much history about gangs across the UK that needs to be told and documented. So it's great to see you covering the Kray's history and their connections with other gangs in London. I've dropped you a sub mate. And I look forward to watching some more of your content in the future. Best regards Gaz. 👍
@@Richie2015it would be interesting to talk of the krays and the IRA in P.H in the 80s, they believed the IRA was correct in fighting the British but disliked the bombing on the mainland, most A cat had no problems with screws actually the IRA straightened out a lot of screws on the outside, many jacked when they came to the attention of the Irish.
True Donaghue, Lambrianou, Connie Whitehead without the twins were just other villains among thousands. Fraer, Moody ,Foreman were feared in their own right
Alan Dixon as an older man used to go in my uncles pub in Barking it was called the Short Blue this was early 2000s and George came in there to keep an eye on my mum as my uncle had to pop out he had balding head pony tail and loads of tom on lol. My uncle met George Dixon at Clacton in the 1990s he had been in Parkhurst in the 80s so he knew a lot of them. Where did you get all the stuff from George Dixon ? They’ve been mentioned in books about gangland books, but there is no book about them entirely is there ? Also Craig Fairbrass is their nephew. I wonder why files are sealed in them until 2049 ? They seemed a bit unlucky they was given for what was proven
I completely forgot Craig Fairbrass was their nephew. Thanks for reminding me. I got the Dixon stuff from a book about Bert Wickstead which details their arrest and trial and also from a newspaper article from 1993 which contains George's memorys of the Krays
@@jasonantigua6825 oh right my mums family was from a Chelmer Crescent the McEvilleys, I’m from Upney end but met a lot of people over there used to go to the Bar Dag too when I was a kid. My uncles gf had it in 2000 to about 2005-7 maybe. His name is Pat or Paddy
He was frit to death of the krays. That’s why he had to keep being their dosser and doing what he was told. They dumped a dead body on his doorstep and told him to jump out of bed and get rid of it. If he was a top man he would of fucked them off like anyone else would. He wasn’t a mug, obviously, but he was trashed of them two.
I remember reading in a book about how the Krays were very wary of Freddie Foreman and when they heard that Foreman waited for days on a rooftop with a rifle to shoot one of the men who shot his brother, they were impressed with his determination and held him in high regard
I remember after the Kray and Richardson trials the tabloids were full of stories about who was the the next family to "run" London the Tibbs the Nashes and dozens of others
I read in a book, I think it was the Joey Pyle book, that many people feared the Nash brothers/family just as much as the Krays, if not more. I imagine this was in Joey Pyle's book as Pyle was close to the Nash brothers. Can't really find much info on the Nash brothers online though, be interesting to learn more
I heard that their businesses and influence remained and grew while they were in jail . they were go between for criminals out of london who wanted to do deals with london villains. they always gad visits and charged £200 or more per meeting . They charged villains who wanted to be on their ‘recommendation lists’ also while in broadmoor Ron wore the finest clothes and had a saville row tailor to measure him up for suits. The authorities knew this and perhaps one reason why they never got early parole
@0:30 secs, watching too many wild west movies, Beretta never made a revolver and their double action semi autos never entered the market until the 1980's.
Well that was quite the stage setter,@Rich2015 where were you man,be this RUclips steering me all over the place,except at the place. Nowadays they’d get laughed at,The Tibbs I heard were for real,I’ve an Uncle stays down in Southfields so it’s decent for a cheaper week in London,to see my beloved Arsenal,I’ve family from down London and my great uncle Lou was a raconteur,and by all accounts lived 60s London,he said it was just London going through a phase the 60s 🇬🇧
I lifted the quote straight from Reg Kray who wrote it was in Roman Road Bethnal Green but it seems the pub stood in Globe Road just around the corner from Roman Road and was demolished
Somebody in the comments says he see's George Dixon regular. I don't know about Alan Dixon. I did see a video saying he died this year but don't know how true it is
@Rich2015 Great videos and thanks for responce i knew the twins wrote to them in 1991 spoke to them via phone , Tbh users after money , Reggie more than Ronnie , tbh Ronnie was better to talk to
I thought the nash brothers was from west London I'm friends one of the sons his dad died a few years ago he got ill and his mind went back to his hay days he kept telling people about all his crimes 😂 before he was with my friends mum he was married to a well known actress but he could remember her name I know they was into cars and he fell out with another brother and they shoot each other RIP Mr Nash 👊
I thought they hailed from the islington area? Which is north east? Maybe somebody else will clarify it. I love hearing from people that knew of these familys in the later years
They come from islington i dont know what you are taking about they didnt shoot each other , you shouldnt say things you know nothing about, i should know, lets leave it at that
Yet another glorified account of thugs , evil people, corrupt people , dishonest people in yet another video about the ‘good old days , when you never locked the front door and these awful men were always ‘good to their mothers’ Disgusting
Ronnie and Reg were very feared , and as for Frankie fraiser he was not a hard man he was only good when people were holding the victim down not a chance he would be feared otherwise no question
@@jboardy5439 really like with who he got knocked out with one punch in parkhurst and other people who new him know he wasn’t a fighter , so as for stand up staightners one on one no chance , get 4 men to hold you yes no question he would hurt you
Once again so far off the mark its becoming a habit.. No one was frightened of Frankie Fraser, unless he had a weapon, as didnt like a fist fight, and he only worked for Eddie which gave him an aura, he never worked for or with charlie, as Eddie himself has said, and only reason eddie worked with him was due to him having slot machines, and with the help of Albert dymes they got them into a fair few establishments

You mean before the ancestors of Irish and Eastern European immigrants that populated London moved to Essex, you mean?😂😂
George used to come into a pub I owned a few years back. Absolute gentleman.

Krays il always be alive to me
I think Donaghue was a respected guy.. I hadn't heard about the Monday meetings before, interesting as most references put meetings at Vallance Road.
Freddie foreman was the top dog in those days
No doubt about it mate and much more clever than them all and scared of nobody

Foreman was on the beck n call of the Krays. Fact

Find more about them if u can with the freedom of information act. And john Pearson touched on about the fbi files . Greats need see more of you plz
the actor Craig Fairbrass is a nephew of the Dixons
Freddie Forman was big time
@0:30 secs, watching too many wild west movies, Beretta never made a revolver and their double action semi autos never entered the market until the 1980's.
So glad talk about the Dixons both Krays brothers where woofters who where allegedly abused by an older cousin
Are those flats still there?
Well that was quite the stage setter,@Rich2015 where were you man,be this RUclips steering me all over the place,except at the place.

The twins wer being wiped out had they not been in sent down
Alan Dixon was at my wedding lol
Can you do something on Ronnie Olliffe?
were was the rising sun pub
I lifted the quote straight from Reg Kray who wrote it was in Roman Road Bethnal Green but it seems the pub stood in Globe Road just around the corner from Roman Road and was demolished
Was one on the Tunstan estate in the 80s
George Dixon is my father. Who are you? Where did you get your information. My father says he has never even spoken to you.
An interview George done for a newspaper in the 1990s and a book about Bert Wickstead
Why don't you have your farther sir name?
Lies You Tell.
I rember the other brother ron he was good in brook side😂😂😂
thats michael flynn, beat me as a kid until my uncle smashed him through a toilet cubicle
Are they both still alive ?
