I read "rotating guest filters" and was stumped - could at first only think it was a 21C version of Basil Fawlty's "no riff-raff".

I imagine that I'd have found the slum conditions of yore marginally less depressing than the 2019 incarnations.

I was interested to learn from the earlier blog that Buck's Row was originally known as Ducking Pond Row. According to Whitechapel parish records, the earliest ancestors I have been able to trace were living in Ducking Pond, but this was over a 100 years before the murder. 18th century maps show the 'ducking' pond just off the Whitechapel Road.

Boo gentrification; bring back the murders.

I read 'rotating guest filters' as 'rotating guest fritters' and thought it some kind of macabre rotisserie!

The destruction and blandification of the Fruit and Wool Exchange is yet another thing for which we can thank that blond hero of modern times, Mr Johnson.

DG, you've stood right outside where I live on Durward Street. As a long time reader of your blog, I find that quite funny. The ripper tours usually congregate just behind on the corner - otherwise they'd block the narrow alley everyone tramps down to get to the temporary station entrance. We're not fans of the fascination with the murder of those women nor are a number of our neighbours. We're promised a little park out front once (if??) the temporary station entrance is removed and our next door tenants and residents association have proposed a statue to Joseph Merrick be put in it. He was exhibited in a shop on the high street (now UKay Saree) and wished one day he could walk in a park without interference. He never got that wish, but maybe now in spirit he might. Who knows. Anyway, thought you might be interested in that.
