biggsy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It was just a five minute piece on Rooney Robinson's show about the walks, the lady who is organising it told me she was going to be on. Ahh!! Cheers, My mate said he turned the radion on in the car and it had already started, he probably didn't realise it was only five mins long Cheers Biggsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ickle You asked why Charles Peace was called 'Rubber Face'. It was because he had the ability to disjoint his limbs and his jaw. By doing this he looked totally different. By dislocating his jaw he was unrecognisable, also he dislocated his leg joints to become a cripple. The police have a set of photographs of hoi in his various altered states. He also lived in many different houses, I believe at the last count he had at least 9 addresses in Sheffield where he lived. My family lived in a house on Leopold St which was formerly on Orchard Lane where he lived. Happy Days! PopT PopT, his leg was crippled, anyway:- he was injured as a very young teenager, (13-ish) in an industrial accident. A red hot bar of steel came out of a press, and went through his knee. He spent about 18 months recovering from it, in the Royal Infirmary. He managed to learn to walk again, in such a way that you would never know it had happened, and was amazingly agile to say his knee was so badly injured. You are absolutely correct about him being able to alter the appearance of his face. He also used walnut juice to darken his skin, as a disguise.

sselavy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Eight years and no-one has got this right! There was a gap between the terrace houses next to Best Kebab but the crime scene was at the Marmion Road end.

sselavy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 There seems to be some confusion as to which alleyway was the one where the murder was committed. Some say the alleyway beside the Banner Cross Pub whilst others say the alleyway next to Best Kebab. Does anyone have the definitive answer? Eight years and no-one has got this right! There was a gap between the terrace houses next to Best Kebab but the crime scene was at the Marmion Road end.
