We lived in Harehills, Leeds which adjoins Chapeltown, at the time the Ripper was active. A Panda car was parked outside our house overnight for what seemed like months. At the time I was working occasional late evenings as a coach driver ferrying darts teams and other revellers around Yorkshire. The Police were busy at that time collecting car reg numbers of people passing through the area which resulted in either a telephone call or personal interview. Mrs H got a visit while I was out bowling along the A1 in a full Bedford Duple bus with its horrible chinese-H gearbox and sticky pneumatic doors. Newly-married Mrs H was at first feared that I had had an accident but was able to reassure the police that we were on holiday abroad when one of Sutcliffe's victims was done in.
My new father-in-law, whose reg number had also been taken, was also interviewed in Huddersfield.
