Hello

Apologies if this has already been discussed but can anyone please tell me exactly where in Fulham Palace Road the BW sighting was (see Crimewatch 86 -2000 reconstruction starting at approx 5.19? I have tried to locate via google street search and for the life of me I cannot work it out.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Fulham palace road bw was where the gates are to the fulham cemetery and heading along towards langthorne with sl travelling what would be north towards hammersmith

The reconstruction is all wrong showing bw on the other side of the road with sl heading south, you have to wonder why they aired false information

Hi
Is anyone able to tell me more about about mailing address fraud in the UK in 86 please? @WestLondoner !
I am aware that this was the year the Insolvency Act (1986) was passed and The Roskill Report.

I am thinking
Company fraud (multiple companies set up to allude tax/debt)
Credit card fraud
Drugs?

Looking for specific examples if anyone has any that they know of from the UK at the time.

thankyou very much

There wasn’t a back door it seems. Getting access difficult that way involved scaling walls & cutting undergrowth etc. Apparently.

No. There certainly was a back door. All these terraced houses had back doors. The one at No 37 led into a small rear garden which in turn was walled off from the public baths which once stood behind. I've been there. I think the covered building had been demolished at the time of these events. It certainly presented no barrier to anyone climbing over to get in.

Covered building meaning Baths? You’d need to go in through front door to get to back - is that what DV means re: wall scaling etc? In other words if you don’t enter via front door gaining entry by back, difficult (?)

You'd have been able to get in via the back as it was open ground behind the house where the baths once were (a nice Victorian building; it should have been listed but I think a developer got in quick and knocked it down!). I'm not sure whether there was an access alley along the back of those houses or not. Old maps would show it. If the police had wanted to enter via the back they could have done so.

Those kind of questions should be put to the retired detectives, Johnstone or Barley, who worked on the original case and now turn up in videos and podcasts. Surely one of them would remember. They were there on the night.
