    Bearing in mind we aren't permitted to show William Stewarts photos here anymore, the shot looking towards Brady st shows a free standing lamp on the north side.

    Is that contemporary in your view?

    I think it is. At least the position of it. It's the position I marked and is the same position on the 1873 map. You and I both know how thorough Jake is, so I am ready to be corrected.

        Is it the picture in 'The London of Jack the Ripper Then and Now'. If so surely it is much later.

          Does the location of the lamp really matter that much? Even if it were directly across the road, it would cast about as much light as a guy standing on a ladder with a couple of Bic lighters going.

          From this thread, I've counted only four errors that appeared in the programme. (It might be five if the point about the date of the attack on Emma Smith is right---I haven't checked that yet.) Anyway, they're all minor errors. On the whole, damn well done, I'd say. This is still the best, and most accurate, documentary I've seen.

          Oh, and I loved the acting.

            Am I first for Part 2?
            Again good...
            But a few things wrong I think!
            Goulston Street graffiti on wrong sort of wall – plain brick – should have been gloss black brick, more like a black board.
            They had it bone dry on morning of 9th November. It should have been at least wet. Also no mention of Lord Mayor’s Day!
            Lastly they said Swallow Gardens had been rural. When? In 1066?

              Picky.

              I agree regarding the Lord Mayor's Day, however. A serious oversight.

                Much better second part. Minor mistake right at the start, did you all spot it? Hearing Mary sing, 'Only A Violet...' sent real chills down the spine. Mitre Sq looked fantastic, very atmospheric.

                No mention of stupid royal conspiracy theories either, very good, well done to all. As most of the general public think it was the Royal family involved this documentary really did it's job.

                Some really good moments, of course the evening is now ruined by Channel 5 screening, From Hell!

                  Heh, so good you posted is twice Lechmere.

                  The latter isn't an error surely?

                    I understand that prior to the building of the railway into Fenchurch Street in the 1840's it was rows of cottages and fields.

                        And to state the bricks in the Wentworth Dwellings were gloss is misleading.

                        See how easy it is to err?

                          An excellent part 2!
                          Again superb graphics, especially Miiller's Court.
                          The MJK murder scene matched the photo's very accurately indeed.

                          Congratulations to all involved.

                            "Heh, so good you posted is twice Lechmere."

                            Corrected befoire anyone even noticed - almost.

                            "And to state the bricks in the Wentworth Dwellings were gloss is misleading."

                            I don't think so - I may be wrong of course. The reports talk of black dado up to four feet. The buildings now have original black gloss bricks up to the height of four or so feet.

                              Andy and I thought it was all -both parts- really worthy ,full of well researched information, carefully thought through and played out against a backdrop of brilliant reconstruction work from Jake of Whitechapel"s 1888 buildings.
                              I enjoyed everybody"s contributions -especially Neil"s -- and hey--- the acting was just fine....!

                                Almost got away with it Lechmere.

                                It seems we are defining 'Gloss' differingly. Are you stating glazed or painted?

                                If the former then that would be difficult to write upon, besides looking and the entrance two away, the black bricks remain.

                                Not gloss in my opinion.

                                And many thanks Norma.
