Your contributions are much appreciated, Christian.

Over the years this has been my favourite thread on Casebook.

Here’s a small contribution, something I’ve already posted over on JTRForums. It’s a photo of Dunbar House, a doss house at 42, West India Dock road that was taken over by Jack McCarthy in the early 1900s. It seems that at one stage the notorious ‘Squibby’ was running it for McCarthy.

Hi Christian,

I've no doubt your photographic contributions are greatly appreciated, I certainly enjoy them. The thread doesn't generate much chatter, I suppose, because they don't pose questions or some such, there's maybe not so much to discuss. Be that as it may, I'd wholeheartedly encourage you to keep putting up your findings. You've got a bit of a niche interest, but one that's undoubtedly appreciated.

(Here's a tip. Post a picture, and put "is this Mary Kelly? That'll get a response)

As for your tatty old books, no one wants to see them. I'll help you declutter. Offers there.

The Ripper could be in one of those photos. Longest of shots but you never know!

Actually Harry just think of all of the street scene photos of the time and the film footage. There’s one of Petticoat Lane market that you’ve probably seen. We could’ve seen the ripper haggling for a coat in the background. Its a tantalising thought.

Afternoon sir some divine images on here put aside a few hours though

I will Christian. I got over half way through a while ago but then got distracted and forgot to go back. They all deserve to be put together in one huge book. Then and now photos are always particularly interesting. I’ve recently been looking at a few addresses loosely connected to the Wallace case and it’s always great to find one that’s obviously the same house rather than just the spot where that house stood.

Hi Christian and all,

this is a brilliant thread and I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t seen it all. I now intend over the weekend to go through it all. Fantastic photo’s from all contributors

I absolutely love this thread. I worked in Leman St (Beagle House - recently demolished) from 1979 - 1992, and recognise a lot these photos from wandering around the area. I'd love it if the thread could be revived - anyone got anymore great pics?

Hi there I have of late posted numerous images most with no comments!
