Tom Wescott - the stuff about Henry Smith and the Seaside Home witness, where did you get that from?

Hi Scott. The only source I drew upon for Henry Smith in the talk was his memoir. He was writing that book at about the same time Robert Anderson was writing his, but Anderson was having his serialized in Blackwood's Magazine and when the chapter about the Ripper was published, we're fortunate that Smith had time to go back and write an off-the-cuff addendum in his book in response to that. As I discussed in my talk, what he says and doesn't say is pretty informative.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Scott Nelson]

Yes, I know.

The next speaker we are pleased to present is Karl Coppack, Karl is a football writer for the Anfield Wrap and other publications, as well as being a novelist whose first book ‘And What Do You Do?’ was published in 2014. Karl began writing about the Whitechapel Murders online and ultimately in a blog series entitled ’10 Weeks in Whitechapel’, which was recently adapted for audio by Rippercast. His talk at the East End Conferences is about this series and is entitled ‘Ten Weeks in Whitechapel: A New Way of Telling the Story’.
