Thanks to Philip and John for being on this very informative episode on the urban landscape surrounding the Whitechapel Murder sites.

We appreciated all the listener questions submitted for this program!

Thanks for listening!

Just to repeat my comments over on the other thread relating to this podcast, this really was a top notch discussion about the murder sites. Well done to all!

I was pleased to hear that the similarity in appearance between the Swallow Gardens/Chamber Street and the Pinchin Street areas was mentioned. With both sites having been "moulded" by the railway lines overhead, curving north to their respective goods yards, there are very noticable comparisons that can be made between the two.

Obviously, Chamber Street is considerably darker and more sinister, in my view anyway!

All the best
Andrew

Great listening.

One question.

The possibility of wasteland in Bucks Row....has there been any progress on this?
