WARNING!: Description below may be disturbing to some readers.

This pedestrian alleyway marks the site of the former residence of 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, England.  The address was owned by Fred & Rose West, a married couple w/ troubled pasts who became two of the most notorious serial killers in British history.  Together they committed at least twelve murders between 1967 and 1987.

The victims were girls and young women including the Wests' own children. At least eight of the murders involved the Wests' sexual gratification and included rape, bondage, torture, and mutilation; the victims' dismembered bodies were typically buried in the cellar or garden of the West residence, which became known as the "House of Horrors". Fred is known to have committed at least two murders on his own; Rose is known to have murdered Fred's stepdaughter, Charmaine. The couple were arrested and charged in 1994.

Fred fatally asphyxiated himself while detained on remand at HM Prison Birmingham on 1 January 1995, at which time he and Rose were jointly charged with nine murders, and he with three further murders. In November 1995, Rose was convicted of ten murders and sentenced to ten life terms with a whole life order.

The Wests' residence was demolished in 1996 & turned into a walkway.  Today the location remains anonymous however residents of the area are well aware of the atrocities that happened at this location.
