Jack the Ripper: Whitechapel 1888 Map Map – Folded Map, 10 Jan. 2004

If you are a Ripperologist clearly you need this item. I bought it because I work in Whitechapel and I wanted to establish once and for all where all the murders took place. This map does do that, but...The 'but' is that for some reason, on the main map, the location of the murders are not indicated. Instead, there are blow up sections on the back showing where the murders took place. I then spent the best part of half an hour turning the map over and over trying to relate the blow-up sections to the street map. A small point, perhaps but it annoyed the heck out of me at the time. In fact, I have now put my scrawl on the main map - so I don't have to go through the exercise again.If your purpose is to see the original 1880s street plan, and it is very interesting indeed to see it, then this is for you. I discovered that where I work was the site of a manure factory in the 1880s. Kinda explains a lot, really!

I found this map informative but I added my own stickers to show the sites as they were not highlighted, I felt this was an omission.As with all maps after repeated use it starts to wear along the folds despite being a thick paper.
