Off topic sorry - but had to post this crazy lego recreation of the final murder I found on Flickr..........

Missed that lamp post in No 13 up till now...and the absence of not only the heart- but the lower body too!

I always knew JTR had to be left handed ....

[Suzi]

Sigh............

[Archaic]

Great find, Adam!

I can't wait for someone to put that gruesome Lego scene on the cover of their new book!!!

Best regards, Archaic

[Suzi]

Lego 'eh.......... For REAL pain- come down in the night in bare feet and tread on a piece on the stairs...........that's REAL pain!!!...

Hi Rob

Love that advert, esp the engraving of the Square and the warehouses...

[Rob Clack]

Hi Sarah,

It's a nice engraving but as you can tell it's quite an exaggeration in size.

They did a nice selection of Tea. I would be happy working there:

Two pictures of Cheshire Street I found recently, both from 1973:




Two photos I took in 2006 - the first is Buckle Street, the second is Drum Street, both near the junction of Leman St. and Whitechapel High Street. They have since been demolished.




(Drum Street was originally part of Commercial Road before the one way system was created. Gardiner's Department Store would have been on the left out of shot in days of yore).

Excellent photos John. I remember Drum St well, occupying a rather choked position at Gardiners Corner.Didnt think it was long before it went. Im sure I have an old photo of Drum Yard which Ill try and dig out;presumably it was off Drum St?

I remember seeing Buckle-street when I was walking around Leman-street looking for Stephenson's alleged bolthole. I saw the name Buckle and had a little chuckle!

[George Hutchinson]

Seeing that last shot, John, it feels like the buildings have been gone a lifetime. I used to see them several days a week. It's only 18 months but looking at the photo, it's a whole different era.
