    Newspaper Cuttings

    Is there a forum section for newspaper cuttings around the period of the murders?

    A lot of information has been lost over the years but I find it interesting to read what the newspapers of the day were writing.

    I stumbled across a South Wales newspaper article about the ripper murders..

    BASSALEG.|1888-10-08|South Wales Daily News - Welsh Newspapers
    https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3669805/3669808/47
    Search 15 million Welsh newspaper articles


    and I would like to read more newspaper articles if possible.

    Hi Welsh76,

    Welcome to Casebook.

    Look at the top of the page and click on where it says Casebook: Jack the Ripper. Then you’ll see a list on your left. One of the headings on the list is Press Reports.
    Regards

    Sir Herlock Sholmes.

              It's a minor point, Herlock, but you're welcoming someone who joined Casebook before you did.
              I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

                I read his number of posts rather than the date he joined. Poor observation like that explains why I took the name Herlock Sholmes rather than Sherlock Holmes.

                    It's a minor point, Abby, but you're commenting on a post that could have taught you how to punctuate yours a lot better.

                    Love,
