I've read Roughead's book several times and again today. I am still amazed that this case is still hushed up. Nothing's changed has it.. So who was A.B. ?. Bit like David Kelly's suicide. We'll never know.
Walked around the few yards connecting Slater's old house and Mrs Gilchrist's house. Gilchrist's is delapidated and boarded up. We had a drink in 'The Carnarvon' bar that used to be caled 'Oscar Slater's' - but the barmaid seemed to think the name had been changed because Slater was the West End's Jack the Ripper or something! We corrected he - but it is sorry to see the area that spawned so many books and worldwide furore seem forgotten.
and of course the first bit takes place in the reign of george V, not that I'm splitting hairs or anything. But yes I did hope it would be creepy-victorian, if in deed that is an aesthetic.
