Hammersmith nudes murders

I am looking for a 1960's photo of Warringer Gardens Battersea to include in a book I am having published in 2009. The subject of the book is the murders of 8 women in the Hammersmith district of London between 1959 and 1965. I anyone can help or advise please contact me at n.milkin@sky.com

Thank you very much again Jean. I took the information from the book Jack of Jumps by David Seabrook. " One afternoon he (Cornelius Whitehead, Gwynneth Rees's pimp) drove to Battersea and he agreed to look at a basement flat to let-ladies only-and he explained to the Spanish landlady that he required it for his sister and her friend. She supplied a second bed and the girls moved into Warriner Gardens that evening....Francisca Salleras had never been a landlady before." etc etc. Authors do get things wrong but I shall certainly check the electoral roll next week.Now I'm at it does anyone remember Mungo Ireland who used to live at 132 Tildesley Road Putney until his death in 1965 or Harry Stevens aka Harry Jones who lived at 20 Colinette Road Putney from 1962-1965. Information about these 2 may bring answers to who murdered the 8 prostitutes in the London area between 1959 and 1965.Kind regards Neil Milkins.

I always thought that they were maltese.

Thank you again Jean. I understand that Gwynneth lived with a Spanish family. (Montebello seems Spanish.) I will try the electoral roll next week. These forums really are a fantastic help. You may be interested in my research by googling neil milkins. Thanks again Neil Milkins.

No I cant remember that but she lived with a family called Montebello, you might find them on the electoral roll

Thank you very much Jean. I knew it was Warriner but accidently inserted a g. Are you aware of the number in Warriner Road that murder victim Gwynneth Rees lived at.Regards Neil.

It is actually Warriner Gardens you are looking for. I was living there at the time of the murder and remember the press being camped out there.
