    NOTES: (1 of 2) It has been brought to my attention that I say Pankhurst rather than Parkhurst, my apologies a slip of the tongue on that one, been looking into the Suffragette movement in the area so naturally have been seeing Pankhurst a lot my brain must of auto filled.
    (2 of 2) The current land lords options on Covid vaccines are none of my concern or interested, if you do not wish to use his establishment due to this that is fine but I don't think this comment section is the correct place for this.

      As an ex-Norwich lad and occasional frequenter of The Murderers, I found this very interesting.
      Only other small error I noticed is that what you've called 28 London Rd (at 16m08s) is actually London STREET !
      An easy, forgiveable mistake to make ! Keep up the great work.

    Loving this Norfolk channel, you have earned a subscriber this morning. I've had many a messy night in the Murderer's in my youth, lol. I though it was a pub for everyday of the year and a church for every MONTH? One interesting factor that could've been included was how suspicions of prostition would've been perpetuated by the proximity of the red light district. I remember seeing 'ladies of the night' in broad daylight plying their trade at the top of Ber Street when I lived there. My 2 fav pubs where Pottergate Tavern and The Lifeboat. The Lifeboat would be worth covering because the 'Suffolk Strangler' was the landlord there, and suspiciously sex workers have been found in the river near to the pub...... He used to murder sex workers and dump them in flowing water to destroy evidence. Prostitutes were known to board at the Lifeboat when he was landlord also.

    • @alittlebitofhistory
      @alittlebitofhistory  3 роки тому

      I had always heard week plus church for every month would only be 12 and there is more than that even now. Maybe I will cover him in the future but currently he's a bit modern for channel I think.

      @@alittlebitofhistory I take you point about the Suffolk Strangler is more modern and there are alot of modern true crime channels. Unfortuanately people don't even make in the paper if their is body is dragged out that river because it's just 'another dead prostitute'. It sounds harsh but when the red light district was down Riverside but they got 'moved on' when they redeveolped the area. Back then a body could be pulled up from the river bed and no one would blink an eye lid, let alone moount a full murder investigation. I'm not some internet nutter, but I very strongly suspect he killed in Norwich. The circumstantial evidence points in that direction, and there's alot. But the MSM didn't even touch on his time in Norwich and I'm pretty certain the authorities did not carry out an investigations. I have to apoplogise, got a bit aggressive at one of the COVID comments.....I was just frustrated that there is nowhere to go to find some escapism from all that and this comment section isn't for that, but I just added fuel to the fire.

The modern style came to Britain with West Side Story and until then the name was pronounced Mah-rye-ah. Do you remember the police vans known as Black Mah-rye-ahs? Older generations stuck to the original pronunciation but when my age group dies out (sooner rather than later) it may all be forgotten.

    Really interesting case. Those poor women! The daughter taking almost a week to die after such a brutal attack, then having huge numbers of people saying that she somehow asked for it; a complete lack of respect for the dead and also for her suffering. The mother having to live through all of that, watching her daughter die slowly and painfully and having to hear of the man who did it receiving not just swaths of sympathy, but being glorified by the public.
    Very sad.
    Although he ultimately avoided the noose, a life in prison can’t have been much fun, not that it is anyway but back then it would have been far harsher. So there is a little compensation there.

Throw a divorce on top, life stops making sense, routine is gone and loads and loads of questions come into your mind, plus stories you hear here and there.

So sad , maybe we’ll never know the full truth , she could have been innocently talking to someone vut he did seem a very jealous man and that can make a man with that temperament, violent.

    17.35 Pankhurst Prison ?.
    I am not aware of a Prison on the Isle of Wight called Pankhurst. The main Prison there is called Parkhurst and is used to contain the most violent Prisoners and also dangerous mentally ill prisoners.
    [it is where the Yorkshire Ripper, Ian Brady and the Kray twins was imprisoned]

      It was just a picture used to illustrate his time in prion but I believe it is of what was known a silent prion, where inmate were banned from talking to each other, they had to exercise in groups constantly watched by guards with hoods over their heads so they couldn't see who they were near.

      ‘The Bell’ When I 1st went to college in 1979 [yes I was too young to drink but what the hay] we used the go there for Friday lunch, get drunk and be useless for the afternoon lessons.😂
      In those days the pub was huge and made up of multiple rooms and bars, I looked like it was serval premises all knocked through to make into 1 giant pub. I’ve no idea of it’s history, of how it got that way. I haven’t been there since so not sure if it’s the same now.

      No I believe I just said it wrong, where I was living around the time I made this video had a London Road I think due to that it just slipped out and I didn't catch it. Interestingly though London Street in Norwich did use to be called Cockney Street.
