Ok. The answer is none other than Detective Superintendent Hubert Rory Moore. He lived there. The actual number is 25.
I would never have gotten it!:handclap:Quote:

Hey Mark
I was thinking about what you said about re-tracing Wallace's steps in Jan.
Why don't you try to get some press coverage?
It might awaken people's memories too?
Hi DaisyChains
I've never really thought about it. Might do.
I usually tend to go by bus. Did manage to meet up with two like-minded people doing the same thing (on the date) in 2006. It was really interesting - but the bus service was abysmal :disgust:
That's why I'm honestly thinking of driving this time...
I would love to do it.
I think it would be really interesting.
Great that you met people doing the same thing!! how cool!
It was interesting. They happened to overhear me talking to a friend and they just got talking. I don't think I would ever tire of discussing this case. A very famous writer from many years ago called James Agate was absolutely obsessed with the case and would never tire of discussing it. I sometimes wonder whether I am him reincarnated...:)Quote:

I think the butler did it.

Just found this link.

Interesting link DC. I see that it is dated 2001. House prices have rocketed since then. :)
As far as I know there are different people living at no.29 now.
Thanks Lindy.Quote:

He may not have thanked you for it Ste :)
the people who live there now are from an established family - in other words they are not strangers to the street, so they know all about it. :)Quote:

They hoped that it would 'freak' the inquisitive onlookers out and deter them from it...Whether it worked though is another matter :shock:Quote:

The Wallace section is towards the end of the article.
Two events coming up in the next few months:
February 21: Lunchtime Talk: Crime and Punishment. Speaker is former policeman and Blue Badge guide John Edwards. He will be recounting some of the cases in St. George's Hall Learning Room.
March 27: Lunchtime Talk: Murder! The talk is by Frank Carlyle, with emphasis on some of the trials that took place. Again it is at St. George's Hall Learning Room.
Thanks MarkQuote:

Hi DaisyChains
I think they will probably be about 1.00. I'll find out.
That's so true lindylou. I remember going up there in the 1970's (when I wasn't even in my teens). Like you say, it never occurred to me to take any photographs...Quote:

Mark do you need to book on these or can people just turn up?Quote:

Thanks Mark would be interedted in trying to get down there
Yes, they should cater for that. Especially considering it is City of Culture year.Quote:

Jonathan Goodman author of the classic Wallace Case book passed away on January 10th. Really sad loss.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../14/db1402.xml
Sad news. He was an excellent writer. In my opinion, his book on the Wallace case was the best.

On another tack, if you haven't heard the news, you might like to know that Jeremy Beadle, who m/c'd the Maybrick Trial last May at the Liverpool Cricket Club is seriously ill with pneumonia in a north London hospital. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7208813.stm

Hi Chris
Yes I read about Jeremy Beadle - bad news as well. Doesn't seem that long ago he was compering the Maybrick Trial.
