THE JACK THE RIPPER LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHS : Dutfield's Yard and the Whitby Collection

[Sox]

It's not a photo, Sox...

Add some green and you'll see it's a painting by Constable.

Amitiés,
David

Odd, I was not aware Constable painted dead bodies.

Depth of field and type of camera used in this photograph please?

I leave you to enjoy your view of a yard somewhere in Whitechapel.

You mean the Parish of St George in the East, surely, AP?

Regards,

'Do you all realize just how much AP is enjoying this?'

Thanks Colin, you know me very well indeed.
However I have been gently reminded that part of my bail conditions on this site - something I admit I had completely forgotten - was that I would politely avoid this very subject.
My sincere apologies to all for my unwarranted intrusion into this subject; and I leave you to enjoy your view of a yard somewhere in Whitechapel.

Martin Fido may fancy himself an 'expert'; and a "scholarly" one, at that. But he, like Paul Begg, Stewart Evans, Donald Rumbelow, et al, … is an authority: Not an 'expert'!



I don't know about Mr. Fido but certainly Paul Begg, Stewart Evans and Donald Rumbelow would qualify as experts in the field. This is not the thread for this but what requirements would be needed to be an expert in this field? Now I would value Phillip's opinion on locations and may even say he's an expert (except for this picture debacle) but this doesn't take away from his knowledge (just him being mean to his readers, I jest).

Phillip should rectify this situation

Philip kindly e-mailed me a copy of the original photograph, on 3 December 2007. I knew then, that it was almost certainly a picture of Dutfield's Yard.

But, thanks for your opinion![/QUOTE]

If you're emailing it to everyone Phillip then why didn't you put the original in the book? Only certain people should be privy to your discovery and not the people who actually paid you good money to see it? That's a real shame.

Very kind of you Jeff...though I hear sea sick tablets may be required.

Martin Fido is an expert in Victorian Literature.

Wrong website, Jeff!

It is a photo of Dutfield yard.

You will be invited next time

PS Colin, Martin Fido is an expert in Victorian Literature. It is a photo of Dutfield yard.

Do you all realize just how much AP is enjoying this?

It's Dutfields Yard in 1900. End of story. A fact verified by EXPERTS.

I would gladly contribute ninety nine quid, to a pool having a payout of one hundred Pounds Sterling; on the assumption that the photograph in question is a depiction of Dutfield's Yard.

Surely; I would make a pound!

But, …

It's Dutfields Yard in 1900.

We do not know that, to be the case, Stephen!

End of story.

We will never reach the end, in this instance!

A fact verified by EXPERTS.

It is a near-certainty, on the basis of expert opinion!

Rob, John and Jake are not qualified 'experts'; but each has exhibited a remarkable degree of 'expertise' in the recognition of 'Ripper' landmarks. Accordingly; each has earned our trust and confidence in his 'expert' opinion.

As for 'experts', in the overall field of 'Ripperology': There are none! None!

Martin Fido may fancy himself an 'expert'; and a "scholarly" one, at that. But he, like Paul Begg, Stewart Evans, Donald Rumbelow, et al, … is an authority: Not an 'expert'!

By the way;

Are the Mariners going to be playing non-League football, next season ???

The pot just called the kettle African-American, I know. But that goes to shows how deep this consensus runs. AP is truly out on his own here. Oh, and Simon Wood.

Yours truly, Tom Wescott

Unfortunately Wescott you have the personality of an over bumptious, Walt infested bullfrog. Your only redeeming feature is that on some occasions you can actually be quite a good Ripperologist..

If I wished to spend a few pleasant hours chattering in a bar give me AP any day, at least he has some spunk about him. He is however wrong about this photo.

I have looked at the evidence, seen the original maps from an expert in Finland. The only thing anyone can do is congratulate Philip on his find, pat him on the back for his hard work and recognize his outstanding contribution. Thank good people are still out there searching and looking.

Many thanks Philip I loved your book and your lecture at 2009 conference it was blinding.

Yours Jeff

Gosh Stephen,I got a bit of a shock to see you pop up over here ! Only a minute or two ago I noticed you were still locked in next door"s privy making it 48 hours!What have you been doing in there?No anal fixation its to be hoped!
You mustnt let all this get to you man! Try and forget about it for a bit.

Hugs

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for the endorsements. They're a sure sign I'm thinking straight.
