    Linda get yer coat on , your going ghost hunting

    As I said before, James Maybrick had his offices in Knowsley Buildings, which was demolished and replaced by Silkhouse Court, which is the new building next to Berey's Buildings.

    Off topic refresher on James Maybrick.

    He was christened on November 12, 1838 at St Peter's Church, Liverpool.
    He married on July 27, 1881 at St James, Piccadily, London.
    He died on May 11, 1889, and is interred at Anfield Cemetry, Liverpool.

    Most definitely Knowsley Buildings which was on the NW corner of Tithebarn st and Bixteth St and is now replaced with Silkhouse Court.

    Bereys buildings is on the corner of Bixteth st and George St.

    Could it be the old office of Jack the Dripper then.
    He had a plumbing business in that building I'm sure.

    Ok its back to the drawing board for you Mart,QS is right it was knowsley Building Maybrick had offices in and he is correct in saying the building was demolished in 1970 and the new building erected in 71/72 ie silkhouse court.

    Too close for comfort though
    basically your back to square one.
