  I used to work in the Ciry of London and walked the locations often. An incredible mystery. It shouldn't necessarily be celebrated but i think the locations should be remembered.

  What I would give to travel back in time for a few hours & walk those old streets back then. But seen as no time machines have been invented, your wonderful videos & narration will suffice! Your hard work is greatly appreciated, Richard.

  Some years ago I was fortunate enough to go on the Jack the Ripper walk hosted by Donald Rumbelow, one of the foremost Ripper experts. We met at the Tower tube station as dusk and before heading off Mr. Rumbelow warned us that the East End had not changed much since the murders and we should not wander away from the group. Not being from London or the UK for that matter I don't know if the warning was just for effect or not. We stopped for a drink at The Ten Bells Pub and the walk ended by some loading docks behind an industrial building that we were told was the approximate location of Mary Kelly's room. There were several roses by the loading dock and Mr. Rumbelow stated that people still left flowers at the site for Ms. Kelly. When someone asked him who he thought the Ripper had been he told us he had no idea. That he imagined on judgement day when St Peter was asked by all the ripperologists who the Ripper had been he would give them a name and they would all look at one another and say "who?"...it was a great experience and this video reminded me of it, thank you.

  My wife and I were in the ten bells only last night. The area is still very evocative.

  I&apos;m so glad to hear that The Ten Bells ultimately stopped being a Ripper tourist trap, especially considering that it&apos;s actual connection with the events is rather limited compared to other pubs in the area which haven&apos;t survived.<br><br>I made a point of dropping in for one (unfortunately just the one; London prices and all that) when I was in the area in 2017 and I found that the name, preserved interior and atmosphere were more than enough for me to feel the connection with those dark days in 1888. Sometimes less really is more.

  My favorite, Richard. Really ties the Past to the Present! Well done!

  I was last in the Ten Bells for a drink around 2008 on my own personal &apos;Ripper tour&apos; around the sites. So much has been lost or changed since then , at least we still have these buildings connected to the case , for now.

  Just watching Richard show these locations ,kind of sends chills up my back. To me just going to the location where the events happen is the main point.. Sure in a perfect world it be nice to see all the buildings and streets as they were at the time of the murders. But that&apos;s unrealistic. I&apos;ve gone to Battlefields here in the USA like Gettysburg and every time I get this feeling I can&apos;t explain , It&apos;s a pressing feeling in the air , You can almost hear the cannons and screams of the wounded. That&apos;s why I don&apos;t need buildings to take me back in time.. It&apos;s the location that holds on to what happen at the location.. I can only image what&apos;s it&apos;s like to walk with Richard telling the story as only he can. Someday I will take this walk.. Poor Richard, I will talk his ear off... well at least until Richard is forced to end my walk with a taser .. LOL

  Another excellent and informative video, Richard. Your input is greatly appreciated. I hate how the authorities appear to be distancing themselves from what is history. In a perfect world none of these murders would have taken place but we cannot change what occured and in remembrance of the victims what happened should never be forgotten.

  Note: &nbsp;The BBC Timewatch documentary is on Youtube…but it’s not titled “Shadow Of The Ripper”. It’s simply titled &nbsp;“Jack The Ripper”!
