Hi guys

Found it. Mizen was at the end of Campbell St in Bakers Row when Cross and Paul passed him. Evening News Sept 3rd. Can`t find it on the maps I`ve seen.

Hi Jon

I think what we have here is a mistranscription in the newspaper. Campbell Street does sound a tad like Hanbury Street when spoken. Besides, as others here have noticed, there was no Campbell Street on Baker's Row.

For the record, we put Mizen at the corner of Hanbury Street and Baker's Row.

John and Paul, I am looking forward to your new book. Thank you.

Jon, there is no Campbell Street in the (Whitechapel Registration District 1891 Census Street Index) click on the red

Hi Tom

It`s in the Evening News, Sept 3rd.

Here`s Court St. Cross and Paul would have passed the northern end, but I think they met Mizen further on a little.

Agree with Lynn about CSI in the title. Big time cringe. Though it will no doubt attract generic readership, which is a good thing for Ripperology, I guess. (To become available to da masses.) :-)

What's in a name?

Hello Messrs Begg and Bennett. Sounds good. I must have mine.

Best of luck on this!

Hi Jon. I don't know, the word 'Court' is stuck in my noggin. What's your source for Campbell Street? Maybe different sources say different things.

Yours truly,

But anyway, what a splendid combination of talent. Especially looking forward to seeing Jake`s work in book form.

Corner of Hanbury Street and Bakers Row per Paul Begg's JtR The Facts...I assume this is the same place Tom is referring to...

All the best

Hi Jon Guy. For some reason, my faulty memory is making me think it's Court Street, which was the old name for a part of Hanbury Street, no longer in official use by 1888, but still used colloquially. Or perhaps I just dreamt all this.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Exciting stuff! Really looking forward to this one...

Andersen!

Me too Andersen...

Welcome to the boards by the way!

Personally I've always found the crime scenes and the east end in general to be the most interesting aspect of the case, so this forthcoming book should be right up my street, if you'll pardon the pun.

The content sounds absolutely superb, and as a point of reference, those with Richard Jones' "Jack the Ripper Casebook" will note that it's published by the same publisher Carlton/Andre Deutsch, so the quality will be absolutely top notch. I'll be getting one for sure.

All the best

No, it`s just that I`ve see a press report which pinpointed a certain street that Mizen was nearby. I`ve never found that street on the maps I have checked and just wondered if you`d pinpointed this street- I can`t remember the name just now but I book marked the page on my home p.c. and can let you know later today.

Gents

Have you managed to pinpoint where PC Mizen met Cross and Paul ?

Is that a trick question? ;-)

Hi Paul and John,

Congratulations. CSI Whitechapel looks a most handsome volume.

It is now on my Christmas list.

I wish you every success.

Regards,

Simon
