In the 16th and 17th centuries, Drury lane was known as a fashionable street, with residents including The Marquess of Argyll, Oliver Cromwell and Nell Gwynne. However, in the 18th Century, Drury Lane became one of the worst slums in London, notable for its brawls, drunkenness, prostitutes, and gin palaces. Here John Sainsbury opened his very first outlet, specialising in dairy produce.

On a string huh? But we found no records documenting murders committed by a man of that name, or that he even existed.
Williamson did not note his sources, and our own search of the internet returned no legitimate results. It appears that the account Williamson gave was based on an entry posted to Uncyclopedia , a parody version of Wikipedia. The parody website goes on to describe the childhood and adult life of Lynwood, including his supposed death from choking on a dumpling. His nickname The Muffin Man is actually a reference to how he committed the murders.
By local folklore, it is said Frederic would tie a muffin to a string, and as a child tried to get it, he pulled the string, eventually luring the child to his house and giving him ample time to knock the child out with a wooden spoon.
However, people often question whether these children actually died from being beaten with said wooden spoon or if the Muffin Man would kill them some other way. In its original form as a poem, it read:. Do you know the muffin man? The muffin man, the muffin man.
