Above and left - taken  from Bartle Road, three views of the ornamental garden which lies between the buildings containing 7 - 9 and 10 - 11 Bartle Road. The front door to 10 Rillington Place would have been at the centre rear of the garden. See the map and aerial photograph in the Conclusion section.

Above - two views of the entrance to Bartle Road from St Mark’s Road. The right-hand photo shows the position of the railway line (Hammersmith & City) as it runs west from Ladbroke Grove station.

 

Left - the end-of-terrace building containing nos. 61 - 65 St Mark’s Road occupies the location where Rillington Place began.

Above  - the tranquil setting of St Andrew’s Square and, facing west, the building to the rear beneath which the old house at 10 Rillington Place lay.

Above - a view along the pathway on the north side of St Andrew’s Square - the area of path at lower level beyond the gate and steps, in between the flank wall of the building 22 - 29 St Andrew’s Square and the rear of the ornamental garden between buildings 7 - 9 and 10 - 11 Bartle Road, coincides with the location of Christie’s front room.

Above - the left-hand picture shows the location of the building at 136A Lancaster Road which once housed the San Remo Cafe where Christie would engage potential victims in conversation. The right-hand picture shows the pub on the corner of Lancaster Road and Ladbroke Grove, then called the Kensington Park Hotel (“KPH”), which Evans (and probably Christie also) frequented.

The Elgin PH 30_03_09

Left - the Elgin Arms public house, then known as the Elgin Hotel, on the corner of Ladbroke Grove with Westbourne Park Road which, with the Kensington Park Hotel (above), was another favoured haunt of Evans.

Ruston Mews signs cropped 11_01_09

Above left - the gated entrance to Ruston Mews, a private road since 1990, but long the subject of mythology that still leads visitors to believe they are seeing the old Rillington Place. Ruston Mews lies to the east of St  Mark’s Road and has no connection with the events which occurred in Rillington Place. On the left of the picture can be seen the main building shape of Andrews Garage.

 

Left - a picture taken at the time of Christie’s crimes. The view is eastwards along Rillington Place and the outline of Andrews Garage can be seen to the far side of St Mark’s Road. The location of no. 10 Rillington Place is to the right of where the photographer stood.

Left - the bodies of Beryl and baby Geraldine were buried together in a common grave at the Gunnersbury Cemetery, London W3. The faded inscription reads:

(The first name, George Henry Potter, was merely a contemporary death and unconnected with the family).
