English: Fairyland, 92 Tottenham Court Road London circa 1905.
During the period leading up to and during the First World War, 92 Tottenham Court Road in London was the location of a shooting range called Fairyland. In 1909, it was reported in a police investigation that the range was being used by two Suffragettes in a possible conspiracy to assassinate Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. It was the place where, in 1909, Madan Lal Dhingra practised shooting prior to his assassination of Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie. Other residents of India House and members of Abhinav Bharat practiced shooting at the range and rehearsed assassinations they planned to carry out. It was also the place where, with regard to in R v Lesbini (1914), Donald Lesbini shot Alice Eliza Storey. R v Lesbini was a case that established in British, Canadian and Australian law that, with regard to voluntary manslaughter, a reasonable man always has reasonable powers of self control and is never intoxicated. The shooting range was owned and run by Henry Stanton Morley (1875-1916) |
