It's Still There

Stewart,

Here is a video of James Mason in the 1967 film ' The London Nobody Knows ' showing 29 Hanbury Street as it was when Annie Chapman was found before the demolition of the house in the 1970's

btw when i was in London a few years ago, i couldn't find the ' Ten Bells ' does it still exist? Or has it had either a name change or been demolished as well?

The Ten Bells was still there in August this year because my daughter and I had a drink there one evening. I believe it was (unsuccessfully & rather tastelessly) renamed The Jack the Ripper a few years back, but it's the Ten Bells again now. It's on Commercial Street, same side as Christ Church, and on the opposite corner of Fournier Street, directly opposite the entrance to Spitalfields Market. The interior decor is supposedly much the same as it was in 1888, including a tiled frieze depicting "toffs" visiting the home of a Spitalfields Weaver. There are also scars on the same wall where (I suspect) the original gas lights were mounted. Worth a visit, but not for the quality of the ale!

Rob, so it was you all the time!

HOWEVER :

Poor job in head area (too large paintbrush).

I know all about photography, oh yes.

This building was a residence and a shop for well after Chapman's death. If the photo were real, which it isn't, the fact that there might have been children in residence is not all that unsettling.

Hello Edward,

I can only hope it is real..because if it isn't and someone has played photoshop with it, I find their taste in fun rather unpalatable.

Now you know how I feel after reading your posts.

The Ghost of Arfa Kidney strikes again...

Are you Guys serious?

The photo has appeared before, on this very site, with full explaination.

Maybe a lil digging around would solve the 'mystery'....just goes to show how the majority here wish to be spoon fed on a daily basis.

Faked image

What's this! A late - April Fool joke?
100% photoshopped fake for certain.
Not too bad of an extraction on first glance of the child and bike from a different photo then pasted over the backyard image.
The photoshopper did a reasonable job cutting the cycle and body of the child from the original image then spoils it doing a rather poor job of the head area (too large a paint brush during the masking process leaving cut away arcs).

Good overall effort though to find a photo at more or less the right lighting and angle etc.
6/10 for cycle and body extraction
3/10 for head.

Best
Steve

George Hutchunson?
The photo is Photoshopped. If you zoom in very, very close, you can see the difference in the pattern of pixels on the edge of the lad's trousers.
It is well done but still unsettling.

Not a blade of grass has changed direction, so the tot is definitely added on top of the same image. New scan though - different contrast, less dust on the scanner, ever so slightly rotated to the left. Where is the back yard image from?

[PC Roadnight]

Well, the tricycle is 1950s at the earliest, child's clothing looks much later (70s?) So I think you're right. The last warped image of 2011 I hope

Eerie Hanbury backyard photo

Hello All -

I have no idea where I found this photo. I find it very unsettling to say the least. Could it be real or did someone have fun with Photoshop? It looks suspiciously like the photo in Post #31 above, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not real.
