Our collection of Jack the Ripper photos is intended to show you what the area where the murders took place was like at the time. We will take you street byAn East End Slum street through the district and explain how each street was related to the events that occurred in the autumn of 1888.

You will see buildings that are an integral part of the story and be able to view them as they were then and as they are now.

This is an ongoing project and the Jack the Ripper photographic collection will be constantly added to in order to build up an indispensable archive that will enable you to grasp the true conditions and geography of the area in 1888.

East End birdseye view.

The above photograph shows the East End of London as it is today. It was taken by Sean east from the top of Canary Wharf. It looks down onto the area where Jack the Ripper struck in 1888.

OurChristchurch Spitalfields night view. next photograph shows Christchurch Spitalfields by night. It dominates its surroundings today and it dominated its surroundings in 1888.

I consider this church to be one of the East End's most poignant sights because, if you think about it, every one of Jack the Ripper's victims would have looked up at the spire of this church on a daily basis.

Mary Kelly's grave

The last victim of Jack the Ripper was Mary Kelly. She is buried in St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Leyton. People still come from all over the world to lay flowers on her grave.

More Jack the Ripper Photos will follow soon.
