3D of Mitre Square based off Frederick Foster’s Drawing

[richardh]

Decided to create this model from Frederick Foster’s drawing. think it turned out quite good.

View it in full screen and if you are rich enough to own a VR viewer then you can stand right in the square as if you're there!

Gimme ideas on how to improve it, things to add etc.

thanks

Brilliant, many thanks.

Very interesting! Thank for the link.

[Sam Flynn]

Breathtakingly good, and strangely moving. Many thanks for this.

Good example of how he had cornered himself with patrolling officers needing to just shine their light a few more meters and catch him in the act.

[Kattrup]

Very good, as always

This time without the body in situ, though - will you consider adding it?

Indeed. It's too bad the police lanterns back then just didn't have the range.

Door where George Morris was working

Could you add the two entrances for Kearley & Tonge warehouse (especially the one where George Morris was working that night)? Thanks!

[richardh]

Can you give me a pointer by way of a mark(s) on the sketch as to which entrances?

thanks

I think this also shows that definitely the light/lamp at church passage would have hindered seeing what was in the darkness behind it (beyond the range of its beam), if you were looking into mitre square from the start of the passage

Nice work Richard. If possible, I'd like to see it at night with gas lamps aglow.

I notice on Forster's original drawing it says "for further details see Plan 2"....

Is Plan 2 available to view anywhere?

[Joshua Rogan]

Another thing I've always wondered about....
The drawings show Mitre Square as empty, but it was surrounded by warehouses - would there have been any wagons or carts parked there overnight? Maybe like the cars in the 1925 photo, which may have blocked the view of the murder scene from Church Passage.

Okay, I've posted a night-time version of the model with the three gas lamps lighting the scene. It's VERY dark!
View it in full screen for best render.

Also, anyone tried it in VR yet?


let me know if this looks okay and if it needs altering etc.

P.S. This is not an exact/scientific/accurate model of the lighting conditions. It's just to demonstrate which areas of the square might be illuminated and which might be darkest. Seems that ripper corner is pretty much blacked-out!

thanks

Wonderful renderings Richard, I am astonished at how good you are at this modeling.

Thanks for the help your images provide.

Fantastic, very atmospheric. Although I'd hate to be the one Dr Sequeira was operating on if that is his idea of adequate lighting!
