  • George Yard Buildings

    Hi folks

    According to R. M. Gordon

    "A further investigation of the Ripper murders, with a view towards Klosowski, would have revealed that Mary Jane Kelly had lived in the George Yard Buildings up until March 1888."

    I read on her biog that she had rented rooms in George Street, but not George Yard.

    I am well aware to be very wary of anything Gordon' writes, but I just wondered if anyone has any information or idea where he got this notion from. Complete invention - or is there any truth in it at all?

    BTW I see that Fishman calls the block "George Yard Dwellings", and Gordon acknowledges that is their correct name, but on the Goad map it is Buildings. Any comments?

    I think your instinct to take the source with a pinch of salt is probably correct
