The plaque is on the front of 195, Holdenhurst Road the retirement home in 1904 of Inspector Frederick George Abberline when it was known as "Estcourt". He was most well known, and indeed made famous by his work on the notorious "Jack the Ripper" murder case. He died at "Estcourt" aged 86 in 1929, and is buried in Bournemouth's Wimborne Road Cemetery where a black granite headstone was erected in 2007 on his previously unmarked grave. Image Image
