Is "Rillington Place 10" really a tourist attraction, and is it here? https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4516194593

Comment from shawmat
10 Rillington Place was the house where John Christie murdered several women in the 1950s. What made it even more notorious was that a lodger at the house, Timothy Evans, was convicted of the murder of his wife and was executed. But it had been Christie that did it. More than any other case, the wrongful execution of Evans brought to an end capital punishment in the UK.
Now, is it here? Yes. The original street was demolished and the name changed. A movie was made starring Richard Attenborough at the actual house just before demolition, so do try to see the film. The whole area was blighted by construction of the A40M Westway as well as the Christie murders so destruction was the only option, and there is now very little to see apart from ex-local authority housing. -
Comment from Paul Berry
There is no trace whatsoever left of Rillington Place or any of the properties that lined it. So although this might be the geographical point at which the infamous house, wash-house and gardens stood, nothing physical remains at all (quite deliberately). When the area was redeveloped in the 1970s into Bartle Road no building was planned to occupy the spot where No. 10 stood. There is now a small, private, gated-off, communal garden in the place, with no identifying marks, signs, or similar (again, by design).
So, you should change this to "Site of 10 Rillington Place", if not remove it.
