Twenty-three years ago, I did the 'Ripper' tour with the London Walks company. As Guildfordghost rightly says, it must have gone by the 1990's as i remember seeing this alleyway. Amazing!!

Thanks for sharing these videos, it's much appreciated.

I couldn't disagree with any of that. Don is... Don. He's the Guv'nor (or The Don). However, if you go with OLW you won't get to all the atmospheric sites. If Don is taking a tour, it is absolutely packed with 100-150 people.

Yes it was ORIGINAL LONDON WALKS - a very good tour company although the Ripper Walks have gotten out of hand. Also a lot of misinformation is disseminated and the guides waste a lot of time telling abut the "Royal Conspiracy". By the way I took Rumbelow's walk - it was good but I went on other walks that were just as good.

It couldn't have been the company I work for - there is a limit of under 40 for each group; it has to be booked online in advance for that reason. You're probably thinking of ORIGINAL LONDON WALKS who start from Tower Hill. They take all comers and you often can't see or hear and certainly don't get to a lot of the backstreets.

Durward Street along with the Woods Buildings passageway was teh most evocative of all the murder sites.

I once went on a Ripper Walk from that tour group that had at least 150 people on it. Not very atmospheric that's for sure. First Ripper Walk I did had only 15 - 20 people on it - an ideal group. Sometimes I think that Ripper walks have become more popular then they should have and their popularity leads to over crowing and a lot of misinformation being given out about the case.

Hi - it was 25th October 1892. Anything I said during this clip was off the top of my head!

How sad that the cottages on Durward Street have been demolished (early 1990's). When I first went Ripper hunting I felt that Durward Street was the most atmospheric of all the canonical sites. I still have some photos taken in 1988 and 1989 of pre demolished Durward Street.

@091053JG And you are, of course, going to PM me and eventually send me scans of them, aren't you?!
