Once known as the gayest and most notorious street in London, the Ratcliff Highway — now prosaically called St. George Street, Stepneyis to suffer further degradation. A vivid picture of the Highway in its. nineteenth-century heyday is given by Thomas Burke in a short article introducing his programme, which will be found on page 6. But now the old houses and shops are to come down, the old ghosts are to be laid in the dust of destruction. Before memory, too, has crumbled away, tonight's broadcast will try to evoke the spirit of the past in a dramatic reconstruction.
