The London
of Jack the Ripper: Then and Now
Robert Clack and Philip Hutchinson
The London of Jack the Ripper: Then and Now is a
photographic journey through the London of Jack the
Ripper, as it was when he stalked the mean streets
and alleyways of the capital.
Philip Hutchinson and Robert Clack will take the
reader on a step-by-step tour of the crime scenes
giving a detailed history of the victims, the crimes
and the police investigation.
Using many previously unpublished photographs and
illustrations the authors put the reader on the very
streets that Jack walked, showing the crime scenes,
the victims homes, the common lodging houses and
the public houses. They show the readers how to retrace
the steps the victims took pointing out the changes
to that particular area and when those changes occurred.
Using only contemporary documents and police files
the authors trace the history of all eleven Whitechapel
murders from 1888 to 1891 and discuss other contemporary
attacks that may well have been from the same hand.
The book will not only be of interest to Ripperologists,
but also to those who are interested in the history
of London and the East End of London in particular.
