    Both Robert D'Onston Stephenson and his Brother Richard Stephenson Junior had been residing in Islington for many years prior to the Whitechapel murders.
    RDS lived in Islington from 1870's whilst Richard moved there a little later after being involved in numerous scandals in Hull (typical councillor!)
    It is possible they knew of the area but the two were quite far away!
    Regards Mike

        Hi David,

        Thanks for the information. I was using the 1882 and 1895 directories and Stephenson's statement. The 1888 Bacon map of London has 'Castle Street' but that atlas is notoriously unreliable.

            Hi Stephen,

            29 Castle Street, St. Martin in the Fields was indeed a common lodging house. But, I’m afraid it is long gone.

            Judging from the portion of the 1914 OS, posted by Rob, it would appear that it had made way for a larger structure prior to the completion of that particular survey.

            1891 Census of England & Wales
            Registration District: The Strand
            Civil Parish: St. Martin in the Fields
            Registration Sub-District: St. Martin in the Fields
            Ecclesiastical Parish: St. Martin in the Fields
            Enumeration District: 3
            Page: 19
            RG12_212_215-0439

            The numbering scheme for Castle Street was as follows:

            North Side
            Castle Street, St. Giles in the Fields
            East-to-West
            #’s 2-68

            South Side
            Castle Street, St. Martin in the Fields
            East-to-West
            #’s 1-33


            There were fewer numbered buildings on the south side of the thoroughfare, due to the inclusion of a school, coach manufactory and brewery.

            The 1891 Census lists a total of 61 residents, in a dwelling that was perhaps no larger than 29 Hanbury Street. Those folks in the West End had it so easy !!!

                That's because you never post anything larger than a thumbnail !!!

                This is how it should look !!! But, covering a larger area, of course !!!

                      The Co.ck and Pig

                      Or

                      The Co.ck and Pyre

                      either way, right up Stephenson's Street!!

                          Hi All,

                          'By **** and pie (pye)' is an adjuration akin to 'by God and the service book'.

                          Shakespearian.

                          Regards,

                          Simon

                              From:"Seven Dials Monument Charity"

                              http://www.sevendials.com

                              "Neale's development at Seven Dials arose from his connections at Court and his services to the Crown. In return for raising large sums of money through the Venetian Lottery, William III granted Neale freehold of the land known as "Marshland" or "C@ck and Pye Fields" (named after a public house on the site) in 1690."

                                From Quaint Signs of Olde Inns, by G.J. Monson-Fitzjohn (1926):

                                C@ck and Pye - Drury Lane, W.C., E.C. - This name comes from an old Tudor oath "By C@ck and Pye," an extremely blasphemous one to our modern ears, as it refers to the Cross and Pyx. "Now by C@ck and Pye, you never spoke a truer word in your life" (Soliman and Perseda) and "By C@ck, they are to blame" (Hamlet). It has nothing to do with either c@ck-fighting or game pies - unfortunately.
