The Journey
White Hart Pub & Gunthorpe Street
Venture behind the historic White Hart Pub on Whitechapel High Street, a landmark that has stood through the tumultuous history of the area. Then, step into Gunthorpe Street, a location marked by profound social deprivation and poverty in the late 19th century. Here, amidst the shadows of the past, gain a deeper understanding of the desperate circumstances that contributed to the tragic events of 1888, and the societal backdrop against which Jack the Ripper operated.
Gunthorpe Street (Martha Tabram Murder Site)
Stand opposite the location where Martha Tabram was murdered, a site on Gunthorpe Street that serves as a somber reminder of the Ripper's early violence. Reflect on the details of her tragic fate and consider the chilling circumstances of her death, which predated the more infamous canonical victims. This spot offers a stark glimpse into the escalating terror that gripped Whitechapel.
The Frying Pan Pub (Polly Nichols' Last Drink)
Stop near the former location of The Frying Pan Pub, once situated at 9 Brick Lane. Here, Polly Nichols, the first canonical victim, reportedly had her last drink before her murder. Contemplate her final moments and the events that led to her demise. Brick Lane itself is a vibrant, culturally rich street, adding a layer of historical and social context to this poignant stop.
29 Hanbury Street (Annie Chapman Murder Site)
Visit the location of Annie Chapman's murder, once 29 Hanbury Street. Though the original building is gone, the area resonates with the echoes of this gruesome event. Imagine the scene as it was on the morning her body was discovered, and reflect on the impact this murder had on the community and the ongoing Ripper investigation.
4 Princelet Street (Double Event Murder Site)
Stand outside 4 Princelet Street, a building dating back to the 1700s, near the sites of the 'double event' murders of Liz Stride and Catherine Eddowes. Reflect on the chaotic night when two women fell victim to the Ripper's brutality in quick succession. Consider the heightened panic and fear that gripped London in the wake of these horrific crimes, and how they intensified the hunt for the killer.
Newspaper Articles and Police Letters
Though not a physical location, consider the pervasive influence of the lurid newspaper articles and the numerous letters received by the police and newspapers during the Ripper scare. Understand how these media frenzy shaped public perception, fueled anxieties, and even potentially inspired copycat letters claiming to be from the killer. This contemplation provides insight into the psychological climate of the time.
Ten Bells Pub & Spitalfields Market
Stand opposite the Ten Bells Pub, a historic establishment linked to several Ripper victims, and near the corner of Brushfield Street and Commercial Street, outside Spitalfields Market. Explore the vibrant atmosphere of Spitalfields Market, a place where vendors and locals mingled, possibly including some of the victims themselves. Consider the Ten Bells Pub as a potential last stop for some of these unfortunate women, a place for respite before their tragic fates.
13 Millers Court & London Fruit & Wool Exchange
Reflect upon the horrific murder of Mary Kelly at 13 Miller's Court (now gone) and consider the possible suspects in the case while standing near the courtyard of the London Fruit & Wool Exchange at 60 Brushfield Street. Though the Exchange has changed, it remains near the location of Miller's Court, the scene of the Ripper's most gruesome crime. Contemplate the identity of Mary Kelly and the circumstances surrounding her brutal murder, which marked the end of the canonical Ripper killings.
