You cannot walk up and down historic London for too long without the discussion of Jack The Ripper, so at Funnystash we decided it was only right we discussed this dark event from the late 1800's London and track down as many locations
There was always an interest in East London as it was full of Violence and poverty and East end London was dangerous and infamously dangerous before Jack The Ripper arrived so there was already an intrigue by a wider population of readers of the inner workings of London with violence selling papers East London didn't get any more violent and scary, that is of course until Jack The Ripper started to murder prostitutes by cutting their throats then dissecting their bodies and nobody's quite sure in which order this occurred
The inspiration of the fictional detective character Sherlock Holmes was possibly inspired by Jack The Ripper

Jack The Ripper most famously known on the way he murdered rather than how many he murdered because he would dissect his victims with tools in the ways doctors would perform operations of that time leading people to believe it was the higher class of society playing foul which made it even more intriguing to the general public. These murders happened at a time of the late 1800's when modern tabloid media was just getting created when more and more people were becoming literate readers so this story captivated a country that was needing a sensationalist news story and Jack gave them just that. Jack The Ripper's victims were known as the canonical five, many murders were casted away as unrelated to Jack's victims because Jack would dissect his victims like a medical procedure as there were many murders unclaimed they tried to pin on Jack like below was seen as unrelated Martha Tabram was found on the morning 7th of August with 39 stab wounds, not Jack's style
The body of Martha Tabram was found on the morning of the 7th August 1888, she was stabbed 39 times on the right of the picture would have stood George's yard building where the body was found

Alot of women during the 1800's had to relate to prostitution in the 1800's and earlier as our institutions would not hire women, many jobs women could only find were prostitution, so people today find it easy to judge but the early 19th century and late 1800's of Europe were different times indeed. Many women would become alcoholics because of the abuse so many (if not all) of Jack's victims were alcoholic prostitutes, many would just prostitute themselves simply to have food and shelter but as the alcohol took over many would depend on their work for their alcohol addictions, a vicious spiral that would lead them to Jack

Jack The Ripper Street called Buck's Row now named Durward Street Whitechapel, the building with the street name was called The Block for short by the locals because there was even less construction apart from that towering block boarding School which now houses flats it use to look quite formidable and dominant during the late 1800's so they called it the block for short, if you go around the back you can see the old cobbled stones of how it looked in the past
The back streets of the area of the first Jack The Ripper murder looks quite the same if you remove all the modern pavings and metal with the boarding school to the right with the cobblestones and old style paving wall, surprisingly intact considering it's been over 100-years, the body of Polly Nicholls however was found on the gate on the direct opposite side, you can hardly make this a protected area for a mass murder, i imagine there would be mass hysteria but The Ripper is their past whether they like or not

The bodies that the ripper didn't dissect, The two murders 30th September 1888 are often referred to as the "double event" happened in an area called Dutfield’s Yard very close to Berner Street. The victim was Elizabeth Stride and it's believed that the killer got startled because the throat was cut but the body hadn't been mutilated. Although classed as one of the canonical five, there's some questions as to whether Elizabeth was a Ripper victim because of this lack of mutilation. However many others think that because another killing was committed later the same evening in another part of town, the killer must have been disturbed and needed to finish what he had started.

Come on kiddies let's go on a history class lesson
Jack The Ripper's second murder was Catherine Eddowes at aldgate now known as Mitre square there only lies a cobblestone carpark where aldgate once stood she had only been arrested the evening of her death for being drunk and disorderly and was released at 1am instead of going back to her place in Flower Dean street she went to aldgate where she would be killed. This is an interesting one because evidence was retrieved in and around the crime scene, a part of her blood stained torn apron was found a couple of streets away at a doorway on Goulston street with the phrase “The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing” it was covered up by the police as they thought at the time it would cause high tension with anti jewish sentiment running high. The police received a package from the assumed killer which contained half a human kidney the letter said the sender had eaten the other half, it was marked 15th October 1888 and where the address should have been, read "From Hell". This letter has gone down in Ripper folklore and a movie starring Johnny Depp was inspired by it also. One of Catherine Eddowes kidneys had been removed by the killer.

The most horrific gruesome of his murders and the only Ripper case to be photographed at the scene of the crime, the image is much too graphic for me to publish so viewer discretion is advised when you search for Mary Jane Kelly's crime scene Photograph, quite an old photograph but surprisingly detailed in clarity. Millers Court was a grungy dirty place opposite Itchy park where prostitutes would wander a very difficult place at it's time, the ripper took his time this time around, perhaps it was the over confidence he was working in an enclosure with no prying eyes.
You would have accessed Millers court by Dorset Street at the side of the old London Fruit exchange building

The last of the "Official" Jack The Ripper killings since he was never caught and brought to justice it's hard to say how many murders he's attributed to. Alice went out looking for clients with her friend "Mog Cheeks"Her body was found by a barrow at the entrance to Old Castle Street known as Castle Alley at the time, people claim he was linked to many more murders at the time were attributed to him but since it weren't in his sense of dark macabre they were ruled out as possibilities. This case was such a case they were arguing it wasn't Jack because of the dull fashion and deepness of the cut of the throat however there was body mutilation but people claimed there were inconsistent mutilations many claim this was a copycat killer but this murder was attributed to Jack The Ripper.
