Following on from the previous episode which examined the area around Whitechapel Station after the completion of some of the building works relating to the Crossrail project, Edward Stow now delves deep down inside the station for a detailed look to see how it compares to the situation in 1888. We will see that most of the changes actually occurred when the District Line was extended in 1902.
Edward Stow also looks at the practical implications that the physical geography of the area has for how the murder took place.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Polly Nichols, murdered on 31st August 1888.
Excellent video, used to hang around all these places back in the early 80s, very derelict back then but very atmospheric.
Thank you or your time and energy. Your maps are amazing. I love London and its history. Everyone would love to solve these crimes or these poor women. Lechmere was our guy. He was caught standing over the body and all the murders occurred on his way to work or on the way home from his mother's. He started to work early. He was the coldest of spree killers- a sociopath who had a secret life. I wonder what he was like as a husband, father and grandfather. He lived to be 70.
Great to see you back Edward! Thank you for another informative and engaging video!
You have very good videos! Would love to hear more about Lechmere in future videos. Kind regards.
Thanks again for another enjoyable video. always looking forward to more House of Lechmere videos
Keep up the good work, Mr. Stow. Your videos are very informative. Also, you made me laugh when you said you didn’t like paying to go through the station.
Extremely interesting and highly enjoyable. Thank you very much for making and posting such a fascinating programme.
I think you're a first class expert presenter.
I am so amazed by this channel and all the work and research you put into the videos you produce. I can't afford a trip to East London so this has been the next best thing! Thank you so much for your hard work! And I agree, Lechmere seems like the most likely culprit.
Great news, you re back!
Thanks for this new video!
it's' been a long time since i have been there i didn't realise there were 3 points to cross the railway between Brady Street and Bakers Row back then and neither a littlle street running paralell at the back of Bucks Row .The Map was a great help yes i favour Court St for crossing with Polly for the reasons you gave . I think Lechmere would have taken Brady Street to get to Whitechapel road leaving home earlier than stated before he met Polly ,
The place really did change a lot eh? Even the people in it. Thanks for these
What a treat to see this. Welcome back mate.
Thank you for another top-notch video.
Another great vid. Going slightly off topic 'ish. I had an interesting hunt for info on 'Elizabeth Roberts' and 'Kitty Ronan', the other Miller's Court murder victims, one and two decades, respectively, after Mary Kelly.
Might make for an interesting video maybe...
Excellent! Absolutely loving it! More!
Missed your videos! 😭
very good, the maps at the end really help to show rhe distances.
Thank you.
Another great video ❤️
The Amicus movie "Tales from the Crypt" (1972) has the same music over their opening credits. Fits as in the movie it is showing shots of Highgate Cemetery. Good Anthology horror.
Great video thankyou x
Excellent informative film definitely lechmere.Thank you for this
.
Thanks again. Great to see the location in real life. I’d still like to see Doveton Street to Bucks Row walked and timed if that’s possible ?
Yes in the future
@@gppgpz Thsts a good idea too. The landscape will have changed I’m sure but a walk from Doveton Street to Pickford’s, perhaps passing by some other murder sights would be great.
Thank you for that, very interesting
You've certainly done your homework, amazing!
Vallance Road is where The Krays were brought up.
Good to see you back, Ed! Another interesting video. I like your style sir! Do you think Lechmere was familiar wth his victims? Do you think he may have used their services on prior occasions?
I think it is probable that they drank in the same pubs. I suspect he may have had an acquaintance or a professional relationship. A client? I lean to this idea but most don’t.
I think he may have known Mary Kelly. I cover this in an earlier video.
I think face mutilation means the victim likely knew their killer; that there’s something more personal.
Today is Aug 31st ..jack the ripper Day...thanks for the last couple posts
The best on here 🍀🇬🇧👍
I am impressed with your knowledge with this area (Past and Present). I was in 'Whitechapel' back in 1999 on the 'Jack the Ripper Tour' and enjoyed it very much. I wonder if the real killer saw the changes to the area (If he was still around)? Hello from 'Toronto, Canada'. I like the accents there as well.
Great job Edward Nicely presented ….
Edward how long does it take to walk from say the front of the station area (The most likely point Polly was picked up by the murderer ) using the cut through road across the railway to Bucks Row murder scene round the back ?
@@christopherwright4573
A few minutes
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 thanks for getting back ,
Interesting new perspective
Good watch👍🏻
So good, and many childhood memories. My girlfriend lived in Winthrop Street and as 12 year olds we always got the creeps as we cut through Wood's Buildings to get to her house. True that everyone used to say that that was where Jack did the murder. Obviously wrong now.
Improved audio, I think. Nice graphic at the end.
BRILLIANT AS USUAL!
Very Good' If only we had a time machine...
wow, if whoever interruppted JTR (Paul if Lechmere was guilty, or Lechmere himself if he was innocent) was only a couple of minutes later, JTR would have been interrupted by PC Neil instead, I wonder if things would have gone differently in that case.
Youre right. Lechmere is the man.
Thank you, I never realised they did waxworks of the women that were killed, I wonder how popular that 'attraction' (I use the word loosely) was
I imagine it was very popular!
What would be the best thing ever is if you would do a video "TIMING" everything. Walk PC Niels beat at a casual pace and see if it truly is 1/2 hour intervals. Then walk from crime scene to PC Mizen's position at a some what hurried pace. Thus we can calculate Robert Paul's Timing of events.
I think Lechmere met Polly earlier than he claims. But, without the true timing we will never know.
I believe the live recording they did of lechmere’s path, with a chronometer, and comparing it to the account he himself gave at the inquest, was already enough of an experiment. Don’t you think? They proved he was totally alone with the body for 10 minutes (disproving lechemere’s words) and indicating he was fully capable of performing Nichols’ wounds in that timeframe, being then interrupted and caught in the act by Paul
Were the police patrols regular ? & if so are there any known times that they last walked along Buck's Row prior to The murder ? Lechmere of course does not mention seeing anyone in the street ,so his chances of not being the perpetrator are pretty slim indeed.
The Patrols In those days were like clockwork. Look at a train or bus timetable and the individual police stations would have had something similar for their beat coppers. There were disciplinary consequences for officers who didn't stick to their patrol times rigidly
@@raymondmcdonald355 Plus his step-father was a copper,so he would have grown up knowing about the rigid times of the police patrols.
Wow, all that area looks like a ghetto, still trashy looking. This is so interesting and a great way to see what the area really looks like.
Glad you enjoyed it
I think lechmere met Polly on white chapel road around 3am and she led him to bucks row.
At the very least he didn’t come straight from his house like he said. Why believe him?😎
Exactly
I hope you realize that there are times I cannot hear you at all. I do like your videos - but I want to hear the times when you are barely audible.
pc neil had a bull lantern thats probebly we he could see further
I just feel like as long as I have been watching all the info there is available that the police on beat at the times of the attacks on t victims that they are not being investigated as possibly suspects themselves. The names of the officers are known so think about it for a minute. They I feel should be looked at d some. No one was off limits as potential suspects.
Jacko was a very bad boy
Every time you speak of Lechmere walking in front of Paul, you neglect to tell the view that this distance of 40 yards would only happen if the times given by the two were accurate. In fact, Lechmere left his home at 315ish, making Paul's walk begin long after Lechmere had already met Polly Nichols, brought her to Bucks Row. I would guesstimate that he actually stabbed her just about the time Paul turned onto Bucks Row. My point is, if you don't give the disclaimer on the inaccurate time given my Lechmere, the viewer will think they actually did walk 40 yards apart.
The distance - actually 30-40 yards - has nothing to fo with the time. It was the distance Lechmere said Paul was behind him
@@thehouseoflechmere9407If Paul was 40 yards behind, He would have seen and heard Lechmere walking in front of him, and as such, Lechmere would not have had time to find Polly Nichols, bring her to Bucks Row and kill her. The point is, Lechmere left his home not at 330, as he said, but as early as 315, giving him time to accomplish the murder. He never would have been 40 yards in front of Paul, he would have been leaning over Nichols' body when Paul turned the corner.
@jonrumple1464 yes, the fact that Lechmere said he immediately noticed Paul 30-40 yards behind him, pretty much proves that Lechmere hadn't in fact been walking in front of Paul but had been there for some longer period alone. I have made that point in many films
@@thehouseoflechmere9407I agree with your conclusions completely. I just think a viewer can walk away thinking Paul actually was walking 40 yards behind Lechmere, when in fact, Lechmere got there and stabbed Nichols, just as Paul was turning onto Bucks Row. Anyway, an absolute excellent series, I wish I lived in London to visit some of the locations.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Robert Paul was not 30 to 40 yards behind Charles Lechmere “all the way down Buck’s Row.” Consider this. Both men agreed they were about 40 yards apart when they first observed each other. Lechmere standing in the middle of the road, and Paul slowing down as he saw him. Allow for the 30 yards Paul walked during the time it took Lechmere to go over and look at the body. That puts Paul 60 to 70 yards behind Lechmere when the latter first observed the “dark object” near the opposite footpath. Also, for the distance between the two men to remain constant “all the way down Buck’s Row” assumes both were walking at the same pace. Not so. Robert Paul testified when he left for work that morning he was running late. He was walking faster than Lechmere and would have closed the gap as they walked. Most likely, Robert Paul was 100 yards behind Charles Lechmere when he left his house on Forster Street, had closed that gap to under 90 yards as he entered Buck’s Row, and had reduced it further to 70 yards nearing the end of Buck’s Row. After looking at the body, Lechmere moved out of the shadows into the middle of the road and Paul noticed him at about 40 yards.
