    Hi Chris

    Great to hear from you again! Great site. I'll have to look out for RWE's assessment on the Cameo case. I'll be attending the mock Maybrick Trial at the Liverpool Cricket Club in May. Will you be there?

    Hello Mark R. I tend to agree with practically all of what you say on the other site about WHW.

    Hi Ged

    I've never been totally convinced of Wallace's guilt. I know he acted in a (seemingly) suspicious manner on the evening of 20th January but I believe there are many points in favour of his innocence.

    Hi Mark

    Yes I will be at the Liverpool Cricket Club in May for the Maybrick "Trial" -- couldn't resist returning to my home city for such an event, though I don't think Maybrick was the Ripper. I hope to meet you then, Mark.

    Hi Chris,

    I agree. I don't believe Maybrick was JTR. Look forward to seeing you in May!!

    Mark, weren't you put off the trial by your last experience, wasn't it you waiting for the tour bus but it didn't arrive though they tried to say it did - not the same organisers is it?

    The Maybrick Tour - yes. They offered us another date when we complained but we couldn't make it on that date. Don't know if it is the same organisers though...

    Hi Ged

    I don't know if you know but there are also archive pages on the Wallace Case on the Ripper Casebook site. There are 3 pages made up of 50 posts each. they can be found here:

    That's when I wrote under the name Mark Bloch!

    Yes, that part of Lower Breck was called Rochester. I wonder why they change names like that ?

    I have photos of when the triangle was a little gardens surrounded by hedges. There were seats in there and a couple of small flowerbeds.
    It's how it would have looked in Wallace's day.
    It was still like it during the early 60s and I can just about remember it.
    It's just a flat area of grass now where the pigeons congregate.
    The 'triangle' .. a shadow of it's former self !!

    Thanks for the link. That old photo in there of 'our' street .. I've seen in books and web-sites. There's a kid playing in the distance and I wonder if it could have been me !! ha,ha. You never know !

    The phonebox where Wallace made the call was by the 'triangle' (previous pic I posted). The phonebox used to be over by the side where the bus stop is - if you look close you'll see a bus shelter. The phonebox was originally more over towards the right. There was always a call box on that site and was only removed in recent years.

    Wolverton st has always been a nice quiet road and has remained that way.
    It's tucked away from any main roads, and as it is a cul-de-sac ( although at one time there used to be a small unpaved, unlit passage way at the bottom end leading off into Richmond Park ) only residents pass through it. There is very little passing traffic and no surrounding shops etc, therefore it's a peaceful little street.

    Wish I still lived there. I live somewhere totally the opposite now - a main rd, hectic and noisy - no peace !!

    a bit about the film.
    I had never heard of it. Now I am desperate to see it!! grrr!
    There was also a docu-drama shown in October 1975 called Who Killed Julia Wallace? I'll never forget seeing it! I was 9 at the time. My mother told me that it happened 'just up the road' from our house. We watched the programme and visited 29 Wolverton Street the very next night. Since then I have been hooked! It was a very good drama. They used the actual locations in Anfield and the cast were unknown.
