A Visit To Hanbury Street On The Weekend Of Annie Chapman's Murder.

[@sashy2495]

Your channel is a goldmine ! Thank you so much for your work, not only is it reliable, it’s also amazingly put together. Feels immersive yet respectful.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Another fantastic program Richard! It is extremely frustrating to us, as it was to them at that time, to have so much false information being thrown about. A lot of it just to sell newspapers.

[@jupite1888]

Great Video Richard, and there is a video of the house at 29 Hanbury St with James Mason going inside from 1967 video "A London No-one Knows"

[@danielcaranti2500]

The best JTR documentaries. Lovely chanel. Completely enjoying Richard Jones' relaxing voice and storytelling. Absolute expert. Love from Argentina.

[@buschovski1]

The voices you do are very well done too. Ya know like exchanges between men and women. Very good sir

[@thalia7104]

Again a very interesting insight! Thank you, Richard ❤!

Poor Annie. Probably the most pitiful of all the Ripper’s victims. She was already dying of tuberculosis. But in spite of her miserable state, she was still a scrappy individual, and had held her own ground when she got into a fight with another prostitute over a bar of soap. One supposed witness, who said he was in the next yard over at about the time of the murder (using the outhouse), that he heard someone say, “No” and then something slump against the wooden fence. If we are to believe this testimony (take all testimonies with a grain of salt), then it may be Annie had a brief moment of realization before the Ripper got her, and had put up a struggle. This would be unusual, I think, as it’s fairly obvious that the Ripper caught his victims off guard, as there was no audible screaming. If there had been, people would have at least taken note and remembered to mention it later. (Screams were apparently not necessarily indicative of murders in Whitechapel, so they were probably ignored most of the time).

it was probably Richardsons mother who said no and fell against the fence when she saw Chapmans dead body.

Finish work and arrive home to find another Richard Jones upload. My favourite part of the week. Merry Christmas

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great stuff! The mysterious man (who met with Lyons) seems very suspicious indeed! Many thanks for another marvellous presentation :)

[@buschovski1]

Thank you for your channel. Ive learned some little things on this channel i hadnt heard before. Like Mary Kellys funeral. That was really crazy to hear about. Thank u again sir. (Subbed now)

[@sciencefirst7880]

Always love the videos! It was after this that SY started a house to house search of the East End. It's interesting that they found nothing.

[@TiaMargarita]

Love the storyteller format and the info!

[@motivationinspiration-wu7sw]

It should never have been demolished!

[@suzieaustin.5905]

It's nice to read about stuff like this. Like the narrator of it too. Merry Christmas to you ❤️🎄

[@mathewlawton8944]

Great video thank you Richard Merry Christmas 2 n Ur family

[@cbamr]

Amazing video, Richard. Nicely summed up and conveyed. Coincidentally, I went to Hanbury street Sunday and had Chinese food from the indoor market there.

[@christinamcilwaine350]

Amazing And informative videos great work Richard Jones 👍👍 you're amazing

[@JackTheRipperTours]

That is very kind of you, Christina.

[@jack_knife-1478]

Hope you do a video on the jack the ripper in america scare. Started with the murder of a woman nicknamed old Shakespeare.

[@Legionmint7091]

Thank you Mr. Jones. Splendid narration and research as always. Are there any corroborating witnesses regarding the two chalk writings mentioned in the video? I’ve heard rumors about them, but I’ve never seen what they actually said before. Interesting indeed. Did the police give them any credence or were they immediately dismissed as hoaxes?

[@classof8685]

As usual, brilliantly narrated by Mr Benn

[@Rollin_L]

And to think I was in London in 1968 when both sides of the Hanbury St. buildings were still intact. I was only a kid, but had I been aware of the JTR details at the time I am sure I would have pleaded with my parents to go visit Hanbury St. Can't say they would have accommodated the request, but I feel like I missed a chance. And we would have had pictures!

[@vespasian606]

The London that Nobody Knows. Look it up. We have video.

[@davesmith7432]

Annie is murdered near the spot where a week prior Lechmere & Paul part ways.

[@Carl-y8b]

I've heard that Annie Chapman was a large solid woman who had been in many rowe's....and had never lost one. I've heard (and read) that Annie Chapman and her early morning assailant, fought fiercely for two or three minutes before she was unfortunately confined; and murdered by, allegedly, Jack the Ripper. But why didn't anyone hear this vicious rowe? To this day nobody knows....but could it have happened that Annie Chapman put up a renowned fight for her life? We can't know for sure...but we would like to think so.,..

[@rob5944]

It's interesting to see the different facades of 29 Hanbury Street over the years.

[@jack_knife-1478]

Love these jack the ripper stories👍

[@andrewphipps8103]

2:01 They say that Charles Dickens died in 1870 but we know the truth… Wonderful video, thank you Richard.

[@tonytiger6601]

michael caine did a tv movie about j. ripper back in the 1980s. it's worth a watch.

[@edwardconnolly572]

Excellent

[@stevenmcghee6649]

JTR pushed his luck a number of times but never more so than in the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street when you consider how he had no escape had any of the residents gone to the back door that morning (and some of them did start work early enough to do so). He could not possibly know for sure he'd remain undisturbed for the duration of the murder though whether this is indicative of extreme risk-taking or him knowing something we don't know I'm unsure about. It may even indicate he had an accomplice acting as a look-out? Of all the murders, this one seems the riskiest to me. Not only in the enclosed nature of the backyard location but the fact he has to emerge directly on to a public thoroughfare just as it's getting busy. I've got the James Mason footage on dvd - it's a movie well worth tracking down. Though who is the woman who opens the door to #29 when he knocks on it? Were people still living there?

[@michaelord988]

He took a huge risk

[@mariuszstanisawczyk8990]

Im always wandering if any of those press statements could be about the real Ripper, e.g. like the statement about the man with the knife in the Queens head.

[@johnhurley4700]

John Richardson was the ripper he admitted to being at the crime scene at 430am with a knife the doctor who saw Chapman on the scene at 630 said she'd been dead 2 hours.

[@monitor1862]

I imagine you're asked this all the time but do you have a suspect?

[@ronmac9522]

I still think the police did the best they could under the circumstances. I wonder what that thing is in the photo half way down Dorset street is? A piece of furniture from the doss house but what is It?

[@vespasian606]

If you mean 06:27 then on the left is a cab. On the near right what appears at first glance to be two pairs of uprights is a single pair of metal posts. The second pair are a mans legs made to look longer by being reflected in a puddle. Further up on the right people are crossing and it appears a woman is sitting across the kerb. At the end on the right I would suggest it may be signage.

[@Trebor74]

George Hutchinson was the witness outside Mary Kelly's rooms the night she was murdered. He was also her jealous exboyfriend and used to read her newspaper reports of the murders to stop her going out. The tabrum murder gave him the idea as she stayed in for a while. I think he built on the tabrum murder and the murders needed to get more extreme and closer to Mary. 2 weeks before her murder they broke up after an argument over Mary letting another prostitute stay. Her front door key disappeared around that time. When the police arrived at the site of her murder they needed to break down the doors as it was locked. Mary Kelly's murder was personal.

[@vespasian606]

Case solved then.

[@jeffreymilton5829]

You've got everything wrong. Joseph Barnett was the boyfriend she had recently split up with. It was he who read her the newspaper reports about the murders. The police could have opened the door by putting their hands through the broken window and turning the latch. That's how Mary let herself in.

[@McIntyreBible]

The Leather Apron suspect was not JTR. The most likely suspect is (in my view) F. Tumblety. He had a fascination with women's uteruses; and Tumblety had a fascination of, desired to purchase a uterus from a coroner, and even had a collection of uteruses. In addition, the crime scenes indicated that the murderer was a person who had an aversion of women.

[@paulanthony5274]

But wasn't he very tall? The description of the killer is 5ft 5 to 5ft 6 stocky build wearing a cloth peak cap and small brown moustache. Tumblety was over 6 foot tall and had a big handlebar moustache did he not? It's your opinion though but it's just witnesses who saw the killer just before the murders said he was of average height for that time.

[@keredsilloc4095]

Tumblety wasn't even in London during the Kelly murder

[@galesal1109]

It def wasn't Tumblety. He was said to be gay and gay killers only kill other men.

[@ianclarke5404]

I'm sure he had alibis

[@ericanelson1973]
