Amazing footage. The place looks awful. People were still living in the street at this point. It seems hard to believe . The house itself was just so spooky. After the murders 'Rillington Place' was renamed Ruston Place, then Ruston Mews. There are photos of the street in a book on slums and the Notting Hill area. It was where Rachman had his slums Just look at the place. In 1970 the Mews was used to film '10 Rillington place' which is a classic and I think more accurate than the modern TV drama. The outside shots in the film are what was Rillington place. The interior filming was done in number 6. The houses were knocked down and new ones built. It's very upper class now and become a gated community. I remember Christie in Madame Tussauds. They had the fittings and items from the house. His string netting deckchair was there. I thought that he'd always be in the chamber of horrors.If anyone belongs there, he does.
Thanks for the correction. I know you must be right as I'm going by memory and I must have got confused with the mews. I saw in The Telegraph, when they were reviewing the new 'Rillington place' TV drama, that they named a totally different place. It definately is Ruston Place. I seriously can't believe those houses were literally lived in until they were demolished. It's certainly no place I would want to even stay the night. I was told recently that the manhole cover that was outside number 10 is still there. I actually believe that may well be true.
I think the manhole cover has gone. Its location is either under a mound of earth or one of the buildings. Here's a photo of where the house was laid over the modern buildings. www.infobarrel.com/media/image/143392_max.jpg
In the video above at 1.08m, the man stares at another manhole cover directly in front of the bay window. Could this be the one referred to by Evans, rather than the heavy one in the middle of the street, as depicted in the feature film?
I saw that but didn't think. I think you may well be correct. Timothy Evans first statement say's ''the manhole cover outside the house''. In the film it's in the centre of the road. I don't care what time of night someone tried that I feel certain they would be heard and noticed. Even Evans would know how impossible moving one of those huge things would be.
That is fascinating, and terribly eerie. So the house was inhabited at this time? Imagine living there, horrible. The waxwork at Madame Tussaurds in the 1970s gave me a nightmare as a child, it was so spooky and unnerving. I'm not sure the scene still exists there now. Fantastic quality film.
Part of this footage was used in the episode of Great Crimes and Trials of the 20th Century (narrator Robert Powell) that dealt with Christie in the 1990s. It was spooky and disturbing in its own right, and this footage only helped!
Notting Hill used to be such a poor area. I used to visit the Street Market on Saturdays, to look for antiques to buy with my pocket money, a short walk up from Kensington High Street, and Notting Hill then was so run down [early 1970's] it looked grimy and so many squats and slum landlords renting out places. The area became massively gentrified , it seems in the 1990's...an old squatted house in st Luke's road I used to stay in sometimes [nice vibe] was sold a few years back for 6 million. Unnnreal. A woman who had inherited some ''rented houses'' there in the 1970's is a multi millionaire now many times over since the values of property there skyrocketed.
For technical and cost reasons it was quite common to shoot news footage without sound in the past and then a soundtrack would put together by the film editor using library sound effects and voice over.

Fascinating to see the actual building, inside, but the poor victims, and the innocent Evans and his little baby girl... may they be at Peace
Amazing footage. Thank you for uploading it

It was renamed Ruston Close, not Ruston Place/Mews. Ruston Mews is on the other side of St. Mark's Road opposite.

Very interesting and spooky video. Thank you for the uploading it to RUclips.

Fascinating. Very interesting that all the houses apart from number 10 had been given a face lift.
Amazing quality footage.

And like a lot of these historical places, looks so small!
So that's the house my nan was about to look at before Christie Got arrested
5:33 - Bit strange that they got a guide who looks IDENTICAL to Christie.
Unreal to actually see the inside of number 10 . Thanks for this upload. Amazing. Just one question - who is the interviewee near the end?
theres never no sound on these old ones.shame
The monster's lair
when was this taken?
Date we have is 1960
1960
Is there no commentary or other sound with this?
No sorry, film is mute
where is the sound?

Thanks doubledeckers - that is indeed the case - voiceover was live very often and hasn't been kept sorry!
