Just watch out for the old bill!!

...I was rather thinking that they would pay for the trip, Mike

If it's the real Lord Lucan, I'm sure a free passage back to the Mother Country could be easily arranged

Lord Lucan,

Good luck to you in saving up for your trip to England.

Lord Lucan,

Good luck to you in saving up for your trip to England. I was there in 2004 and am going again this year. Remember that one British pound equals nearly two American dollars. In my experience, saving $75 a month for three years is about what it takes to travel to England on a conservative budget.

GM, you need to walk into Mitre Square having just walked along Aldgate High Street during a busy evening just after it's been raining. The roar of the traffic is almost silenced and the bench by the murder spot appears like a silent witness (though it's not, of course).

PHILIP

Living on the other side of the world, I, like many others have a slightly romanticized image of the murder sites in our minds.
However, no matter how changed they may be, it would surely be something to stand on the spot where something happened all those years ago that we still discuss to this day. Note to self...must start saving for that English holiday!

Quite true. I've been to all the sites alone, but any ambience is pretty much gone. The only place where I ever experienced a small frisson was in Durward Street, in the evening, looking toward the old board school.

[George Hutchinson]

I've been there so many hundreds of times now, it has little effect. I've probably been there alone about twenty times. There's not a trace of the past there and imagination is all. To stand on the spot and visualise the MJK1/2 photos and the layout of the crime scene is very eerie, but you have to REALLY push yourself into it.

Here we go..a couple of pics from the pre digital age photos of photos but it should give you an idea-



Philip- The point about the cellars is a tantalising one...........I'm sure that McC's house had one without a doubt

[kensei]

Thanks for putting me straight on that one, Kevin.

Kensei - you was rite, Dear Old Boss, and I was wrong

Quite all right Sam.

I remember being at the site at the end of the Rumbelow tour. It was around 10:30 at night and I was thinking that there should be such an eerie or somber feeling, but there were fifty fellow tourists standing around debating things with Donald and he was doing his best to sell books and it was all very distracting. Definitely didn't feel like I was standing on the spot where Mary died and where Abberline knelt down to probe the fireplace. Can anyone share the feelings they've had while visiting the site alone?

[George Hutchinson]

The only possible benefit that could ever come from that happening would be the possible uncovering of any remaining foundations of the buildings of Dorset Street - surely they had cellars? Actually... did they? We've never discussed this one.

Yeh I posted that original thread..

The proposal was to demolish both the White Row car park and the fruit exchange and in its place build an office block straddling both. This would mean the site of Millers Ct would be inside the building itself.

It was approved in principal, but the planners didnt like the architecture of the proposed building in comparision with older buildings in the area.

This info is available on the Tower Hamlets planning website.

Hi Kensei,

before the crash on this board there was a thread that talked about new imminent changes to the area, particularly to the old site of Miller's Court.

I thought that thread warned of a new office block in Goulston Street - and that was at the southern end, well away from the site of the graffito. I can't remember anyone mentioning the re(re(re))development of "Miller's Court".
