Matters-Stewart Photos??

[Columbo]

Ok gonna show some ignorance here. Matters and Stewart?

Ok got it. Leonard Matters.

I can't remember the details, but there's a story somewhere about a journalist who wandered into Millers Court with a camera, and was told in no uncertain terms that he should put it away if he wanted to leave the Court intact. Perhaps someone can help with this story.

Hi all,

Just as a friendly reminder for the old and perhaps useful information for the new:

No photos from William Stewart’s book, “Jack the Ripper: A New Theory” (1938) may be posted on casebook.org.

Many years ago we were asked to remove all such photos by the Stewart family and have complied.

That’s a shame. The book is hard and expensive to come by. Oh well.

Just avoid the obvious places and it can come to you.

I bought an old paperback copy published in the UK by Arrow books, 1964. It didn't have any photos in it!

Also, do we know exactly when the Matters' photos were taken in Dorset Street? The demolition photo shows that time was running out for Miller's Court in June 1928.

Definitely around 11th June onwards Matters went back 3 days after taking his initial famous photos and millers court was gone!! An archeological group took photos of the whole area on 11th June and Millers Court was still standing unlike most of the area and Dorset street!!
hope that answers your question??

In that June 11th demolition photo, several chimneys of number 26 are still smoking. When Matters visited, there was only one occupant left, so I’m thinking at least a couple of weeks more had passed.
