H Division Boundaries

[mic_ads]

I am looking at the kill zone of JtR and wish to do so against the location of fixed points and the boundaries of H Division.

I am struggling to locate the street names that made up the boundaries of the division in 1888/9 and wondering if anyone had this information to share. Endless searching on google has produced nothing.

I would be grateful for any information and a reference of the source, if available.

Thanks

Mike

Must say, excellent information, just what I was looking for.
Many Thanks

We have indeed missed you and your maps, Colin. Let me echo Stephen's comment that it's very nice to see you back.

[Sam Flynn]

Colin! You're alive!!!

Top quality map, as always

[Mike Covell]

Wonderful map, nice to see the actual boundaries, rather than imagine. Nice touch adding the victims photographs too, quite eerie looking!

[perrymason]

Ill just add to the previous posters and say excellent map Colin, thanks for that.

I was surprised to see how much Waterfront had to be managed, in terms of criminal activities...smuggling, duty collections, fights, D & D's...Ill bet that stretch was an area of concern.

I often wonder to what extent more traditional criminals benefited from the murder investigations and revised patrols.

Thanks again Colin, cheers all.

Very nice piece of work there, and very informative.

My 'signature' consumes a grand total of 12.45 kilobytes of server-storage capacity. I would ask that it be left intact.

PS: Many Thanks; Stephen, Maurice, Gareth, Mike, Michael and pmerryman. I had to 'scale' each of the images down to within the 293-kilobyte limit (it was about 800 kilobytes on the old boards). As such; these images lack the clarity and resolution of the larger templates, from which they were created.

Hi Colin, and thanks for the maps.
Out of curiosity, I'd like to see a map including Ada Wilson.

Amitiés,
David
