Newspaper Transcribing I have had a busy time transcribing Hull Newspaper reports from 1888, covering 4 newspapers and their views on the case which was unfolding in Whitechapel. Among the reports are numerous tales of suspects, witnesses, victims, letters, officers, and lots of information that appears to be unique to the Hull correspondents in London during the period! I also managed to get the full coverage in the Hull Press of, Thomas Sadler’s trial, Frederick Bailey Deeming’s trial, The Tranby Croft Scandal, The Maybrick trial, The Torso murder series, The William Waddel trial, aka “The Gateshead Ripper murder” And much much more!! Heritage Days The old buildings of Hull, usually off limits to people like me, recently threw their doors open, and elcomed visitors as part of the Heritage days! I gained access to the wonderful Customs House, which is situated on Whitefriargate, former workplace of Robert D’Onston Stephenson. The pictures are posted here, http://www.thisisyourmail.co.uk/posts/your_say/view/39534-heritage-day-a-look-back The post won me yet another accolade as I walked away with a Hull Daily Mail/Yoursay Mousemat and Pen! |
