JACK THE RIPPER LOCATIONS : THEN AND NOW
I guide exclusively for Discovery Tours, the highest-rated Jack the Ripper tour company on Trip Advisor (jack-the-ripper-tour.com). Inspired by my book 'The London Of Jack The Ripper Then And Now' and the overlay work of Andrew Firth in 'Ripperland', I thought this worth doing. NB: All post 1938 images are under copyright.
Before commenting, please read the following: All comments on this video are held pending review. Racist crap gets your post deleted, as does trolling. Secondly, I don't need to be told a hundred times that not using images from 1888 does not make the video 'Then'. The ONLY extant photo of one of the murder sites from that time is the outside of 13 Millers Court, a spot entirely inaccessible today. Everything else from 1888 is a rough newspaper drawing.

The Mary Nichols Jack The Ripper Murder Tour
In January 2016, with so much development going on in the East End of London, I set out to film a series of walks around the sites of the various Jack The Ripper Murders sites.
On Monday January 4th 2016, I headed for Whitechapel Station and used it as my starting point. Across the road from it is the Royal London Hospital, and next door to it is the former Working Lads Institute where several of the inquests into the deaths of Jack the Ripper's victims took place. Having shown you how the surroundings of the station are today and how they looked in 1888, my video tour set off to Durward Street, formerly Buck's Row, which was where Mary Nichols was murdered in the early hours of the 31st August 1888.
I very much wanted this video tour to provide the authentic feel of the area, so it is very much an as shot offering with little editing. The sounds of the streets provide the backing track, there is traffic noise and wind noise. Every so often I captured brief snippets of the conversations of the people I passed; and every so often the people I passed took starring roles in the film!
Crossrail is causing a huge amount of disruption around the Mary Nichols murder site, in fact you currently (January 2016) can't get close to it. Luckily, I had videoed it previously in 2012 and so have added that footage to give you the idea of what the site looked like then and, hopefully, will look like again when all the work is finished.
The amazing survivor at the site is the Board School that towers over it, just as it did in August 1888, when the murder of Mary Nichols took place in its shadow.
I filmed the site from both directions, and also filmed various pieces of street furniture that I passed en route.
Yes, the film could have been edited to give it a more polished look, but what I wanted was to give the viewer the experience of feeling that they are walking those streets with me, seeing the locations and enjoying the cacophony of sound with which helps make modern day Whitechapel a truly vibrant and amazing place.

This was our cool tour guide with the great English accent I had to record. He's telling a funny story about how poor the shows were in this part of London in the 1800's. Give the poor cow a chance. Very funny.

Jack The Ripper Tour - Introduction
Richard Jones of presents the introduction to his tour of the Jack the Ripper murder sites by providing an overview of London, and the East End of London, as it was in 1888 at the time of the Whitechapel Murders.
Lindsay Siviter explains what the living conditions were like in Spitalfields and Whitechapel at the time of the Jack the Ripper crimes and provides an insight into the prostitution that was rife in the district at the time with, as she explains, one police estimate putting the number of prostitutes in the area at 1200.
Paul Begg then explains something about the large number of Jewish immigrants who had arrived in the are fleeing from the pogroms that were taking place in Eastern Europe throughout the 1880's. He details how these immigrants were resented by the aboriginal population of the East End of London and explains how they soon found themselves accused of taking English homes and English jobs.
Zena Shine, a lady who grew up in the district in the 1930's and whose family arrived in Whitechapel in the 1880's then recalls what it was like to be a resident in this part of London in the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper crimes.
Finally, Paul Begg returns to reveal the fact that, although Victorian London, on the surface at least, seemed outwardly respectable and confident, if you were to scratch that surface you would find a general feeling of unease as many people were convinced there was going to be an English revolution and that the seeds for that revolution were being sown in the East End of London.
We conclude our introduction to the Jack the Ripper tour by explaining how the Whitechapel Murders just happened to occur in just the right place at just the right time and how Jack the Ripper frightened people in a way that an ordinary murder hadn't done in the past and would never do again.
