THE WHITECHAPEL SOCIETY 23/01/2012 12:03:48

WHITECHAPEL SOCIETY ONE DAY SYMPOSIUM - THE EAST END OF ANNIE CHAPMAN to be held at : The City Hotel, Osborn Street, London E1 on Saturday September 8th, 2012. In recent decades, the historical study of the East End has become a significant topic within social history and criminology. In this, our first 'One Day Symposium' we will be bringing together Social Historians and Criminologists in an event that will be organised around themed keynote addresses and roundtable discussion. The key aim is to address the inter-disciplinary engagement between East End social history and criminology around the time of the Whitechapel Murders. The date of this event is also significant as it falls on the 124th anniversary of Annie Chapman's death - one of the victims in the series of crimes committed by Jack the Ripper. Full details, latest news, and booking details will appear on our website : www.whitechapelsociety.com.

Following on from the popularity of my Jack the Ripper talks and walks, I have spent the summer researching a number of new talks and walks in London. I now have a portfolio of 17 walks most of which can be delivered as a talk. There's also one talk, about The Titanic, which doesn't really lend itself to being a walk! Here's a list of my talk subjects. Let me know if you would like to book a talk.

I am looking for information on John Thomas Stride, Elisabeth Stride's husband. She was the third victim of the Ripper. I would love to see any photos or pictures of the gentleman, or would just like to know more about the life they had together. Thank you to anyone who has any info, or could recommend any one who may be able to put me in touch with anyone who may be able to help.
