125th Anniversary Walking Tour - Polly Nichols

[Lechmere]

Half way down Bucks Row - Robert Paul's location when he spotted Lechmere - there's a lot of building work going on due to Crossrail.

My assistants working out where to lie down (and who was going to do it) and avoid getting trodden on by pedestrians while recreating the crime scene.

Polly Nichols' raised dress explained.

29 Hanbury Street and the significance of that particular crime scene is explained. (I hope that girl isn't yawning!)

Corbett's Court - Robert Paul's workplace. This is where to tour ended.

Poppy's chip shop can be seen over the road.

Yes I thought that too Ruby, but I was far too polite to say so...

All the best

Sounds like a really cool tour for everyone who took it! Are you going to recreate all the murders that way?

[Lechmere]

I am organising a talk with a powerpoint slide show, reenactments, large maps, and other visuals on 12th October in Whitechapel - I started a thread somewhere on here about it - that will keep me busy!
