The road's still there but all the houses were demolished and replaced with flats, in part (I think) because of the Crippen case's notoriety. I suppose I should have said that they lived on a road that was demolished and rebuilt, but the shorter version sounded better.dellamirandolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408597887346997944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059825326353558046.post-80099118354624952832012-04-25T23:08:50.819+01:002012-04-25T23:08:50.819+01:00hilldrop crescent is off camden road and still the...hilldrop crescent is off camden road and still there unless you mean another hilldrop crescentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059825326353558046.post-84890251217884658572012-04-22T18:27:14.730+01:002012-04-22T18:27:14.730+01:00Fair enough: I only looked over it briefly.

I marked it instead by laughing at <a href="http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=256" rel="nofollow">this cartoon</a> in a bookshop.mswnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059825326353558046.post-26499642574937191732012-04-22T17:35:24.362+01:002012-04-22T17:35:24.362+01:00No, just luck.

I don't know what the penalty would have been for that in 1910, but probably not hanging.dellamirandolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408597887346997944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059825326353558046.post-52321004612847469382012-04-22T17:07:49.544+01:002012-04-22T17:07:49.544+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.dellamirandolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408597887346997944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059825326353558046.post-61376799730995651802012-04-22T13:39:13.433+01:002012-04-22T13:39:13.433+01:00Was this designed as a deliberate tie-in with Marc...Was this designed as a deliberate tie-in with Marconi Day? If so, good job. If not, well, good job anyway.<br /><br />I'm a bit dubious about the move to retrospectively acquit Crippen on the basis that the murdered body in his cellar may not have been his wife. I can see the legal point, but it's not the most reassuring argument.mswnoreply@blogger.com
