Emlodik - You might be surprised to learn you went with the biggest tour company in London. That's Original London Walks and you started by the Roman wall outside Tower Hill tube station. They do split the group if they have too many people, but even then I've still seen groups of over 100 with a single guide. Yep, you're really going to see and hear everything and get to all the alleyways that way! I've had feedback from loads of people who went with that company because that was the one they'd heard of, only to be sorely disappointed. They seem to get bookings for JTR solely on the back of Don Rumbelow being one of their guides.

This Leslie seems to have taken several suspects and thrown them in as one : Art studio? That's Sickert. Bloody clothing? That's Stephenson! Shei clearly had no idea what the merry F she was talking about. 'Top Ripper expert' my arse!

PHILIP

Well, that's ironic, since she was so passionate about it NOT being Sickert! And, yes, "London Walks," that's what it was called! But if they're such a major company in the field, why do they have such pompous and incompetent guides?! She was also quite proud of being a Ripper guide who had two people faint on her previous walks... I can see now that those people were probably Ripperologists who couldn't take her c*** anymore...

I went on the tour that started near the Tower too. It was the one that Donald Rubelow does because I wanted to have him!

I love the TV show Teachers, always thought it was pretty realistic!

[KatBradshaw]

Much closer than Waterloo Road.

[Monty]

Yet not as close as The Fen Street Gang.

[KatBradshaw]

I don't know that one.
I am reading the 'Real Mary Kelly' book that was recommended. Its very good.

Those damn Welsh chaps again. MJK

Hi Guys

Just a quick post..i'm out again

However I came across a feature in 'Wales online'..as you do..

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/columnists/2008/05/20/cardiff-s-working-girl-who-knew-too-much-or-not-91466-20934493/

It has a number of facts mixed up.

However it makes a claim I have not come across before on MJK.

'That Mary Kelly's cousin may have lived in Havelock Street, Cardiff?'

Does anyone know where this information came from?

ie its source?

[KatBradshaw]

Gosh that has a lot of inaccuracies hasn't it. I wonder what their source is. Might even be worth checking them out. I wonder if you can contact them.

[Monty]

Jeff,

I think I remember reading this Havelock Street in either Paley, Harrison or William book, I think it was the former.

I assume its from a census of sorts.

Hi Monty

As far as I'm aware the only known facts are that Kelly staid with a Cousin (Could be Male or Female?) in Cardiff for eight or nine months. (interestingly about the same time as a pregnacy).

I wondered if Havelock street had a conection to the Red light district (mentions Mary Ann Street) and whether someone had put two and two togther...they seem to be quoting from an Echo report? But why Havelock Street..is there an 1888 Echo source?

The article also quotes William Evan Thomas as a suspect, which is unusual. It always intrigues me when features get it wrong bt through in snippets of fact..

Ps must dash collecting the kids

[Monty]

Jeff,

Im sure Gareth will put me straight but Havelock Street is near the docks which, as you may know, is a red light district in any port.

Refresh me, William Evan Thomas, was he Jacripa?

You know I don't know Monty. I did a search and turned up nothing. Perhaps Wales online are having a Joke of some sort? All rather mysterious..
