Is this article online? Where can I get to read it please?
Thanks!

"Klosowski's Hastings" by Mark Bridger appeared in The Whitechapel Journal, June 2008, but I am not sure if it is available online.

I'm pretty sure it isn't available online, Helena, but you can obtain a copy of the June 2008 issue, for a very reasonable price, by contacting Petrina Thompson, the Society's Membership Manager, at anirtep@rocketmail.com
My youngest child, who is currently on vacation in the Yukon, read my last post and contacted me to say that I didn't do the email address correctly. Apparently I should have used spaces because you can't connect through that link. All of this is beyond me, but it was nice to hear from her. Anyway, if you type that address into whatever email service you use, you should be able to contact Petrina.
As I am today on my 7th day of researching Klosowski, I am at the peak of my enthusiasm. So I pounced on the post this morning bringing me the June 2008 edition of the Whitechapel Society Journal, ripped open the envelope impatiently, and sat on the edge of my seat with excitement to read the article.
Oh dear. The author knows less than I do
It's not an article, just a set of photos, and none of them show the two houses in which Klosowski lived. There is a street view with a caption saying the author didn't know quite where the shop was, either.
I guess the Old Bailey wasn't online three years ago. It is from the witness statements that we know the addresses of his two lodgings.
Still, at least he got the chemist shop correct, unlike the guy on Youtube (see "George Chapman's Hastings"), who, out of four locations filmed, got the chemist wrong, both homes wrong, and didn't know which of a row of shops was Chapman's.
Last Saturday I took all the correct photos. Perhaps I could get the Whitechapel Society to run an update article, using my photos?
