View up Henriques Street, murder scene of Elizabeth Stride, Jack the Ripper's third victim, Whitechapel, East London, E1, UK.
Henriques Street was called Berner Street in 1888 and the body of Elizabeth Stride was found in Dutfield's Yard, which was located behind the wall seen here (now a school). ""Jack the Ripper" is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer who was active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originated in a letter, written by someone claiming to be the murderer, that was disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been a hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate attempt to heighten interest in the story. Other nicknames used for the killer at the time were "The Whitechapel Murderer" and "Leather Apron"." "Opinions vary as to whether these murders should be linked to the same culprit, but five of the eleven Whitechapel murders, known as the "canonical five", are widely believed to be the work of the Ripper. The canonical five Ripper victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly." Wikipedia info
