Did anyone know that Whitechapel is also a tiny hamlet in the civil parish of Goosnargh in Lancashire?

You're quite correct, it is useless information.

Also, today in the West End of London, there is another street named "Dorset Street." Ironically, it intersects with another famous road in the city...Baker Street, the location where Sherlock Holmes lived in the books about him.I won't make any deals. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed,de-briefed, or numbered!Comment

Hi Chud and Observer,
Who knows ?
They probably had a special interest in the case...
Some good anecdotes are perhaps to be found in the local paper.

How's this? I believe it was a Jeremy Beadle fact from an old copy of Ripperologist:
There is a street in Liverpool called Whitechapel (the one that the Maybrick diary mentions). NEMS record shop, owned by Beatle manager Brian Epstein, was there.
NEMS later changed hands to become a branch of electrical retailers 'Rumbelows'.Comment

Here's a good one my friend Grell showed me:
Some Victorians had nipple piercings!
From The Golden Age of Erotica:
"No more perfect example of Victorian extremism can be found than the unbelievable breast piercing craze that swept London in the 1890s. This barbaric practice achieved fantastic popularity among seemingly sane, civilized Englishwomen, who submitted to the excruciating pain of having their nipples pierced in order to insert gold and jewelled rings.""You want to take revenge for my murdered sister? Sister would definitely have not ... we would not have wanted you to be like this."

Hi all,

Yours trulyWashington Irving:
"To a homeless man, who has no spot on this wide world which he can truly call his own, there is a momentary feeling of something like independence and territorial consequence, when, after a weary day's travel, he kicks off his boots, thrusts his feet into slippers, and stretches himself before an inn fire. Let the world without go as it may; let kingdoms rise and fall, so long as he has the wherewithal to pay his bills, he is, for the time being, the very monarch of all he surveys. The arm chair in his throne; the poker his sceptre, and the little parlour of some twelve feet square, his undisputed empire. "
