There were no Magdala bullet holes in the early 1970s

Thursday, 25th May 2017

• I LIVED in Parliament Hill in the early 1970s.

There were no bullet holes then (The hole truth – are the marks left by Ruth Ellis’s gun on the wall of the Magdala genuine? May 18).

Good thinking by the landlady though. It brought the punters in.
