Good pictures. I like the shadow on the first one.
Re: T Brown, Jeweller, London Road. The neon lights on this clock have probably shone for the last time. They have been covered over by the new owners (Henry Bohn Books). The clock can still be seen, though.

This H Samuel clock will no doubt soon be no more when the shop closes and moves to the new Liverpool One development
That must have been stopped for over a year now! [is it saying something about their products? lol]
Dave.
I actually know the answer to that one. The lights told the staff when they could have their breaks. There were different combinations of colours for different break times.Quote:

Well I was outside tonight at midnight again... and the Liver Building clock did only strike four times at midnight.

And ripperoligist will always invoke a new suspect to keep the theorist of the ripper alive instead of accepting the fact that "JAmes MaybriCK"(JACK) is the killer,shortly after his death of arsnic poisoning all the murders stopped,all evidence was pointed towards him,all evidence that got destroyed was about him,he was in London at the time of these murders,ect,ect.Quote:

George, I thought he was completly discounted in this argument. I always understood it to be M J Druitt or some Russian guy. I suspect when the truth finally comes out we'll say 'Who!' Heard a good story about Dr Tumbletee too.Quote:

I'll wait for Chris on this George. I thought he was discounted a long time ago. I shall bow to your superior knowledge.Quote:

In his? confession here....

he makes many mistakes in this confession,no I'm not well up on my Grammar but I know a mistake when I see it,so how can a man who writes like this come up with a manuscript so well laid out and fooling some of the ripperologist.
Spelling mistakes,punctuation,can't remember times and dates.
If you concoct something like this,everything is and should be documented in the event.

As for Mike Barrett's "confession" to having written the Maybrick Diary, I agree it doesn't hold water.
The bombshell released at the "Maybrick Trial" at the Liverpool cricket club in May 2007 was that researcher Keith Skinner announced that he had some type of unspecified documentation that tied the Diary to Battlecrease House, 7 Riversdale Road, where Florence and James Maybrick lived and where he died, allegedly of arsenic poisoning in May 1889.
I don't know for sure, lacking Skinner's further explanation of what exactly the documentation he possesses comprises, but this might take us back to the original idea that electricians working on the house found it there, or else there's some other reason to tie the document to Battlecrease. In any case, that presumably precludes Barrett from involvement in writing the Diary circa 1992 before taking it to London literary agent Doreen Montgomery.

Chris, they seem to come up with new suspects for the Ripper regularly. Is there any more likely suspects gonna raise their heads. Wasn't there talk of a woman being the Ripper.
Hi Pablo
There's no real evidence against anyone.
Convicted murderess Mary Pearcey is sometimes spoken of as a possible suspect but would appear to be a long shot for the killer. There is a good discussion of the "Jill the Ripper" theory here:
http://www.casebook.org/suspects/jill.html
I do think it is a possibility that the Ripper escaped from 13 Miller's Court after killing Mary Jane Kelly on 9 November 1888 wearing her clothing. This is suggested by the fact that some clothes were burned in the grate. Of course that would be a man wearing women's clothing, most probably. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle suggested that the Ripper could have been a man dressed as a woman.

The Woodside ferry terminal clock
Hello Joe
Excellent photograph, excellent weathervane. :handclap:
I have been through the Woodside Ferry terminal many times though had not noticed the weathervane. Do we know how long it has been up there?

Hi George I think it was put there when they renovated the terminal recently

Nice photo Joe.
Kurt Geiger, Church st.
On the front face of the inner tower of Liverpool Prison [Walton jail] is a clock which is unusual in that instead of having 5 minute divisions
between the figures on the face, [ ie:- between 12 and 1 or between 1 and 2 and so on ] it actually only has 4 divisions. Even staff who have worked there for many years have never noticed this, they are completely unaware of it and are therefor also unaware of the reason for it. This probably because the clock is situated overhead and in any case at casual glance looks like any other clock having figures 1 to 12 and two hands [minute hand and hour hand of course ]. However, the actual face of the clock is the original face of what was many years ago a ONE FINGERED CLOCK. The four divisions between each figure simply denoted `on the hour, a quarter past, half past, and a quarter to` the relevant figures. Sorry I have no photo for you, but as you may imagine prison authorities tend to frown upon people walking around their prisons with cameras hanging around their necks.
Ken.
Very interesting and informative thread :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:
