I love that Puma Court picture, Chris. Can I ask where you found it? I don't suppose it's out of copyright...
In all seriousness I do need to start picking people's brains about out of copyright pictures and maps for my documentary sometime soon, but there is, as they say, a time and place for everything.
The Prospect of Whitby, by the way, is definitively in Shadwell. However a lot of people believe anything south of the (Ratcliff) Highway to be Wapping, unofficially.

I don't know about the origin but I believe it first appeared in Andy and Sue Parlour's book

Hello Chris,
Many thanks.
I haven't (shamefully) got that one...
So if Andy or Sue are popping in, I would love to hear from whence it came?
Or indeed if anyone else knows?
best wishes

I've just checked my copy of the book and the photo is on page 54. It is captioned:
Rare photo of Miller's Court.
I can't see any attribution as to where the photo came from.

Hello Chris,
Many thanks again. Interesting photo. The "window" centre, top of picture, left hand side of alleyway... is it a window?
Reminds me of one of those old pub signs.
best wishes

On the facing page, the Parlours have the classic shot of Dorset Street which, they say, is facing west toward the Providence Row Refuge, instead of east toward Commercial Street, so I wouldn't put a lot of faith in their knowledge of photographs. Besides, it doesn't even look like Miller's Court.

It couldn't possibly be Miller's Court unless the overhead passageway was removed. The first door on the right would have to be the way into the stairwell next to Kelly's room. I just don't see this as a possibility for the Court from any angle.

Hello Mike,
I didn't like to judge on first thought, but admit that this is my view as well. The "Inn sign"/window made me wonder infact, and the length of the "open" area in the alleyway seemed different than the Miller's Court. I would like to know the origin of this photo.
best wishes

It's possible there were some changes made to the Court and that this photograph is a reversed copy. That's what I see as the only way this could be Miller's Court based upon the various schemes of it that have cropped up over the years.
Cheers,
Mikehuh?
