Although from the manor it was way before my time. I read that Christie was Rangers and during the trial the only time he showed any emotion was when the prosecution mentioned him following QPR.
Surely our most infamous fan.
Well him or Michael Gove perhaps?

Timmy Evans used to be a customer in my grandparents' pub. The family also knew John Reginald Halliday Christy when he was a special constable. Timmy was liked Christy was considered "creepy"

I used to walk pass Rillington Place 5 days a week on the way school, it always gave me the shivers, it was a horrible nasty little cul-de-sac, although it was renamed when I used to walk past.

I used to walk past it when it was called Ruston Close before it was demolished about 1971/72 and stood as wasteland for a couple of years before being redevoped.

my mum was living/renting just round corner from there when she first came to london from ireland, she said that was at same time as christie was up to no good,she was naughy and had a little girl in 1958 had to have it fostered as she couldnt manage as she was by herself, wonder if the those events stuck with her and put her off trying for an back street termation
My dad tried to buy 10 Rillington Place in the late 50s because , not surprisingly, it was cheap but my mum convinced him that that was an insane idea and W12 was better for a family home anyway.
Its name had been changed to Ruston Close and was demolished in the 70s. A new deveopment replaced it where the present day Bartle Rd is. It would have been a poor investment anyway because the area was blighted by the building of Westway and compensation was not good IIRC.

My dad took me there in the early 60s and it had a very odd feel about the place. Chilling is the best word I can use about it. Quickly forgotten as there was a new adventure playground an old bomb site, just up the road. But it had a big impact as I can remeber the day now, as if it was yesterday.
RIP: Sniffer, Doug and Pat

He was a a total Wrong 'Un. He would frequent quite a few of the Pub's in the Grove, but would always try and sit with, and try and start conversations with the 'working girls.' (of which there were many at that time) offering 'help,' if they got into trouble. Quite a few took the piss out of him, but they did think he was odd. A mate of my Dad's told me that he was warned off on more than one occasion, and got a slap one night. and ran out of the Pub almost crying.
10 Rillington Place seems to be on the tourist trail these days. It's now called Rushton Close, and the entrance is gated.
But Number 10, wasn't never there. If you turn into St Mark's rd, from Lancaster rd, turn left (not right) into Rushton Close. Then follow the houses down on the left hand side of the rd....... Where there is no house, just a tree...........that was where the house was.
Anyway.....may he still be rotting in Hell.
Then a few years later we had the man of the people........black activist (before I get called out, I'm half caste, mixed race, dual heritage......or whatever it is this month) Michael X.
Black Power Leader? Leader of his people? Not really.......just a Pimp, Whoremaster, and Wrong 'Un. Another one dancing with Satan, and rightly so.
What's going on?
We should be told.
Sort it out.

We'd often walk past Ruston Close on the way to visit my Dad's parents and one day he took us down to the place and told us about it. The story chilled my young mind.
They made the film so as to use the original site for exterior shots before it was demolished. It took my breath away when I first saw the film and realised that it was the actual site. Agreed that Attenborough was suitably creepy.
The redevelopment of the area resulted in a different street plan, but I was surprised to see that several dwellings are built on the site of the original building. Couldn't they have placed a road or something over it? The thought of living over the site of hidden murder victims is way too gruesome for me.
I went to the nearby Holland Park school and one of the guys in the year above me used to live there. They were a West Indian family fairly new to the UK. His dad found the bodies in the kitchen.
His dad was also a lone survivor from a merchant ship during the war. The whole crew died except him. He was having a dump in the toilet when the torpedo hit.

Or did the torpedo hit and then he had a dump.
If at first you dont succeed, pack up and f**k off home.

Did he live near this board's ubiquitous legendary turkey-basting,seed-donating,lesbian-siring,terrible spelling,former CAPITAL loving,Walter Mittyesque,non-reading-librarian,Holloway? http://darkestlondon.com/tag/the-black-house/
At 6:15 in this lecture vid some Michael X stuff..Shame this bloke - the excellent local historian Tom Vague - suffers so much with nerves, i.e. halting delivery & no eye contact 'cos his content -for those familiar with the manor - is actually pretty interesting.
Anyway perhaps that's enough about up-itself bleeding Notting Hill. Anyone want to launch a thread revisit on the closer to HQ notorious murderer Harry Roberts tomorrow perhaps?

my parents lived in Barnsdale Rd. post war, they moved to Batman Close when that was built early 50's. Notting Hill really was a slum area and when you hear people complain about housing conditions now they really don't know how lucky they are

Interesting listening to the guy in the Video. The connection with Muhammed Ali raises a wry smile. Michael X always used to try and connect himself to Malcolm X, with what he was doing..........loads of people fell for it.....the media, and maybe Ali and The Nation of Islam as well.
But Michael X was a Scumbag bully who preyed on the weak and poor. Him and his scumbag sidekicks lived off the women that were frightened for their lives. Some of whom were ordinary women that 'had' to do what he wanted.
A tooled up Coward.....and then one day...... Him and 2 or 3 of his tooled up pals were properly served up. Result? End of the slag in Paddington and the Grove.
A C.unt, Pimp, Whoremaster, Coward.......nothing more, nothing less.
Anyway........ Harry Roberts? What a story that was.
What's going on?
We should be told.

Oh yeah Harry Roberts.He killed two Old Bill and his mate killed another.
"Roberts' name has been used for many years to antagonise the police, with chants like "Harry Roberts is our friend, is our friend, is our friend. Harry Roberts is our friend, he kills coppers. Let him out to kill some more, kill some more, kill some more, let him out to kill some more, Harry Roberts" as well as "He shot three down in Shepherd's Bush, Shepherd's Bush, Shepherd's Bush. He shot three down in Shepherd's Bush, our mate Harry" (to the tune of "London Bridge Is Falling Down") which originated with groups of young people outside Shepherd's Bush police station after Roberts had been arrested."
