An introduction to the Wallace Collection | Xavier Bray, Director
The Wallace Collection is an internationally outstanding collection which contains unsurpassed masterpieces of paintings, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour and porcelain.
Built over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, it is one of the finest and most celebrated collections in the world.
So that it could be kept together and enjoyed by generations of visitors, the collection was given to the British Nation in 1897. It was an astonishing bequest and one of the greatest gifts of art works ever to be transferred into public ownership.
Today, our job is to maintain, research, and inspire the public to love and understand the Collection.

A visit to the Wallace Collection, London
The Wallace Collection in London used to be one of the city's best-kept secrets. The result of three generations of art collecting by a very wealthy family (they had a knack for marrying well), the collection fills Hertford House in Manchester Square. It's gradually getting better known, at least partly due to an ongoing series of refurbishments of the house's galleries. The Great Gallery which re-opened last month (September 2014) is particularly spectacular.
The family had close links with France, so there is a distinctly French feel about the collection, with works by such artists as Boucher, Fragonard and Watteau. But there's also an extensive collection of Dutch paintings, as well as works by the old masters - Rembrandt, Titian, Velazquez and Rubens, among others. A visit to the Wallace Collection is a feast for the eyes!
Jack The Ripper Tour - Introduction
Richard Jones of presents the introduction to his tour of the Jack the Ripper murder sites by providing an overview of London, and the East End of London, as it was in 1888 at the time of the Whitechapel Murders.
Lindsay Siviter explains what the living conditions were like in Spitalfields and Whitechapel at the time of the Jack the Ripper crimes and provides an insight into the prostitution that was rife in the district at the time with, as she explains, one police estimate putting the number of prostitutes in the area at 1200.
Paul Begg then explains something about the large number of Jewish immigrants who had arrived in the are fleeing from the pogroms that were taking place in Eastern Europe throughout the 1880's. He details how these immigrants were resented by the aboriginal population of the East End of London and explains how they soon found themselves accused of taking English homes and English jobs.
Zena Shine, a lady who grew up in the district in the 1930's and whose family arrived in Whitechapel in the 1880's then recalls what it was like to be a resident in this part of London in the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper crimes.
Finally, Paul Begg returns to reveal the fact that, although Victorian London, on the surface at least, seemed outwardly respectable and confident, if you were to scratch that surface you would find a general feeling of unease as many people were convinced there was going to be an English revolution and that the seeds for that revolution were being sown in the East End of London.
We conclude our introduction to the Jack the Ripper tour by explaining how the Whitechapel Murders just happened to occur in just the right place at just the right time and how Jack the Ripper frightened people in a way that an ordinary murder hadn't done in the past and would never do again.

The Official Unmasking Jack The Ripper Documentary
This is the full and official version of the documentary Unmasking Jack the Ripper, written by Richard Jones and produced by Richard and Mark Ubsdell. The documentary takes the viewer through the events of the autumn of 1888 when the Whitechapel Murders were causing fear and consternation in the Victorian East End of London.
The video begins with an introduction that sets the scene by looking at the social conditions in the districts of Spitalfields and Whitechapel in the last 12 years of the 19th century.
Having set the scene, we look at the early murders and discuss whether or not they were the work of the murderer who became known as Jack the Ripper.
The murders were investigated by the Metropolitan Police and so we next take a look at the structure of the force and introduce the officers and detectives who had the responsibility of trying to solve the crimes.
Having covered the background against which the killings were occurring, the documentary then takes the viewer chronologically through the so-called canonical five victims - Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes.
We feature each murder in depth and look at the public reaction as the murders progressed and the realisation dawned that a repeat killer was on the loose in the East End of the Victorian metropolis.
A section of the documentary deals with the infamous Dear Boss letter, which bore the signature Jack the Ripper and goes on to discuss other missives that purported to come from the perpetrator - including the George Lusk From Hell communication.
The final section of the documentary deals with the various suspects whose names have been put forward as likely perpetrators of the Jack the Ripper crimes in the 128 plus years since the murders occurred.
Expert interviews with top Ripperologists Paul Begg and Lindsay Siviter lend gravitas to the production, whilst dramatic reconstructions and genuine Victorian photographs help bring the saga of the Whitechapel Murders to vivid life.

The Pedway: Elevating London (2013 Documentary)
The Pedway: Elevating London is a documentary on the post-war redevelopment in the City of London - focusing on the attempt to build an ambitious network of elevated walkways through the city. Featuring interviews with professor of town planning Michael Hebbert (UCL), architecture critic Jonathan Glancey, city planning officer Peter Wynne Rees and writer Nicholas Rudd-Jones (Pathways), the film explores why the 'Pedway' scheme was unsuccessful and captures the abandoned remains that, unknown to the public, still haunt the square mile.

The Mary Nichols Jack The Ripper Murder Tour
In January 2016, with so much development going on in the East End of London, I set out to film a series of walks around the sites of the various Jack The Ripper Murders sites.
On Monday January 4th 2016, I headed for Whitechapel Station and used it as my starting point. Across the road from it is the Royal London Hospital, and next door to it is the former Working Lads Institute where several of the inquests into the deaths of Jack the Ripper's victims took place. Having shown you how the surroundings of the station are today and how they looked in 1888, my video tour set off to Durward Street, formerly Buck's Row, which was where Mary Nichols was murdered in the early hours of the 31st August 1888.
I very much wanted this video tour to provide the authentic feel of the area, so it is very much an as shot offering with little editing. The sounds of the streets provide the backing track, there is traffic noise and wind noise. Every so often I captured brief snippets of the conversations of the people I passed; and every so often the people I passed took starring roles in the film!
Crossrail is causing a huge amount of disruption around the Mary Nichols murder site, in fact you currently (January 2016) can't get close to it. Luckily, I had videoed it previously in 2012 and so have added that footage to give you the idea of what the site looked like then and, hopefully, will look like again when all the work is finished.
The amazing survivor at the site is the Board School that towers over it, just as it did in August 1888, when the murder of Mary Nichols took place in its shadow.
I filmed the site from both directions, and also filmed various pieces of street furniture that I passed en route.
Yes, the film could have been edited to give it a more polished look, but what I wanted was to give the viewer the experience of feeling that they are walking those streets with me, seeing the locations and enjoying the cacophony of sound with which helps make modern day Whitechapel a truly vibrant and amazing place.

Amelia Edwards: Egyptology's Greatest Woman (at London's Petrie Museum)
( ) Heritage Key enters the Petrie Museum in London to talk to the curator Dr Stephen Quirke, who explains the importance of one of the co-founders of the Egypt Exploration Society - Amelia Edwards. She was dedicated to protecting the Ancient Egyptian heritage from growing tourism by bringing the artefacts to Britain, and creating a museum where students could learn from the discoveries. Named after its first professor, William Flinders Petrie, the museum was set up near the only university at the time which awarded degrees to women - the University College London.
