  • is that a MJK Place ?

    I have read on Joe Barnett's testimony that Mary Kelly went fort a time in a "place" near Ratcliffe Highway called Breezer's Hill: is this the place, still existing as seen on Google maps ?

    Thank you for replies...

      Hi Gene.

      That's the right neighborhood. I've looked it up on Google maps in the past, too.

      But I believe the buildings from Mary's time are gone.

      Best regards,

        Are you sure ? These yellow bricks dwellings and these industrial walls seem to be already there in 1888, don't you think ?

          NB: and mind the street sign : it's quite the same that the one over the passage in Matters ' picture of Miller's Court ...

            The buildings on the Western side of Breezers Hill are from 1882. None of the buildings on the Eastern side date from 1888. The Southern end was demolished and rebuilt after 1891 and the Northern end after 1915. Presumably the building that covers the whole of the Western side dates after 1915. The street sign is post 1917.

              Hi Rob,

              I don't doubt it for a moment. I'd be fascinated to know how you can be so specific. Did the design change in that year?

              Regards, Bridewell.

                  That's right, if it was pre 1917 it would be 'Breezser's Hill. E' not 'Breezer's Hill. E.1'

                    And I've just noticed that Gene's photo had an older sign then what is there now on the same spot, which is what I was referring to.

                      Hi Rob,

                      Thanks for that. I was struggling to see the 'E1' on Gene's image!

                      Regards, Bridewell.

                        Let's check on Google Maps and see which sign is on that wall, now !
                        I guess it's not a E1 ...
