Hi John,

Actually I think I had a bit more hair then. Frightening as you say I haven't changed much.

Hi Gareth,

Billie Whitelaw?


I was looking through the 'Jack the Ripper and the East End' book. And this photo captioned 'Middlesex Street 1899' is if I am not mistaken Goulston Street from Wentworth Street. And that's part of Wentworth Model Dwellings where the graffito and apron were found on the left.
