Millers Court Today.

Hi emlodik
What the 'BIGGEST tour guide....Could this be ' Zelda-The 22 st Wonder of Hanbury St!!' hehe

Actually, she was quite cute... Though, she could have toned down the scarfs and capes. It always looked like she was ten seconds away from bursting out into the "Salome" number from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard."

They teach JTR at the school I work at to Years 9 and 10 (they just about know my interest, even though I've known most of the History dept. for years - Suzi, I guess I've been keeping a low profile too).

Cue displays of pupils artwork with Maybrick in them.

They went to the JTR exhibition the other week....

Cue Museum in Docklands staff having kittens over slap-happy yoofs of Tottenham. It wasn't really the place, but would they listen?

[Suzi]

No, it was a young lady named Leslie, who claimed she was London's biggest Jack the Ripper expert. But she made so many dubious comments during the tour... I can't believe I actually felt bad about "undermining" her when I chatted with two American girls on the tour. You see, even though I know much less about the case than all of you good people, even I knew where to correct her. Those girls liked my tour better than Leslie's, LOL!

Hi all they do it in Year 9 at the school I work in and well- it's beyond belief the 'source' material!!! I keep a VERY low profile on this one but will send you a copy of the total c*** they use when I get back in Sept if you like

Hello emlodik!

Thank you a lot!

Now I know at least, that I will avoid a guide called Leslie on my next trip to London!

All the best

You sure this girl wasnt called Pope De Locksley?

No, Millers Court would have stood oposite the car park.

The Providence Row Nightshelter is situated at the western end of Dorset Street (Now Duvall St), and is actually in Crispen Street. You must have passed it during your walk. It faces Dorset Street.

Where the parking lot is situated, there were a mixture of pubs, lodging houses (Horn of Plenty, Crossinghams for example) etc.

Your guide needs to read a bit more.

OMG,

I know someone who used to go to that school, though they lived in Full Sutton.

Pocklington is posh, they would pass the Caviar dont you know pip pip.

I beat ya, 1h 45 mins.

[KatBradshaw]

OMG!!!
I teach at the state school in Pocklington but no one would ever do that!

I do like how easy it is to get to london from here. I book a day trip ahead of time and I was in the East end in 2 hours 45 mins.

[Monty]

Thats nothing, my teacher use to offer me grass.

Suffice to say he dont teach anymore.

Monty

[KatBradshaw]

Not on the school trip, think I would have been sacked!
But I did get lunch in one of the pubs when I went there with my ex. Its very lovely.

[Monty]

Wait, so is that a parking lot? The girl that lead the Ripper walk I took claimed that a parking lot across the street from a former workhouse (or was it a Catholic charity shelter?) is exactly the location of Miller's Court. Is that true?

Kat,

Did you go into the Golden Hart?

We take the kids to Helmselt Castle too. It lovely.

With regards to the topic of Millers Court and the other murder sites I have often thought that Hanbury Street gets me the most. I think this is because it is still intact, albeit on the other side of the road, and it is so close to the Ten Bells which I always imgained when I first got interetsed in the Ripper Case 20 years ago. I was so surprised when I went there about how small it was.

[emlodik]

Hi - that's from the website of the company I guide for. That's the exact spot (give or take a foot) of the murder of MJK - in short, it's where her bed was inside #13.

[Monty]

York?

Bit closer then.

I love York, though dont love that bl**dy ring road !!

I also like Helmsley, Malton, Bishop Burton, Thornton Le Dale etc.

PS When you're head of department? Ambitious eh?

[Mike Covell]

If anyone knows any teachers (the closer to Hul the better) who are teaching the subject, please let me know or pass on my details. I am putting together an article and would love to hear from teachers teaching the case and their views on the subject as a whole.
