    Hi DBG,

    It's not much use, but here's the 1888 Post Office Directory map of the area.

    Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

      Talking of Goad maps, I was looking at an old thread on here and it appears Rob Clack may have one....

      Tantalisingly we see here half of Brick Lane on post #47

        Thanks Dave that's excellent.

        I'll contact Rob to see if he has the other side of Brick Ln. It does confirm a couple of things:

        No 11 is on the corner, and as there's an 11 and an 11a in Simon's list, the dotted line I included on my sketch was definitely there in 1888.

        Also, checking the Goad key for what the entryway between Taylor's and No 7 is, it's given as 'passage under' suggesting there was a tunnel/passage of some type.

          Doesnt answer the question however....

          .....some may find it interesting.

          Discussion for general Whitechapel geography, mapping and routes the killer might have taken. Also the place for general census information and "what was it like in Whitechapel" discussions.

          PS, I'll BBM Rob to see if he is available to answer this query....though he may tell me to s*d orf

            Until the expert arrives; I don't know if this means anything (and I could be saying something embarassingly stupid here as maps really aren't my thing!) but in the 1881 census #10 Brick Lane appears immediately before #1Montague Street, but not in 1891.

              This is where number 10 Brick Lane was.

                Hi Debs,

                There was renumbering between the 1881 and 1891 census. The numbering changed from continuous to odds and evens, so that's probably why.

                    The covered yard referred to by other posters bears a passing resemblance to a larger version of Millers Court, but without the small area immediately outside the window of No.13.

                    Regards, Bridewell.

                    I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

                      Thanks Rob

                      The seeming absence of houses, (not to mention the big 'E' on the OS map) made things difficult, so it's good to have that sorted.

                      I assume the covered entrance was to a loading yard of some such, used by the factory. I imagine it was gated, which is of interest considering Nichols, Stride and Eddowes, even if it's unlikely that Emma Smith was a Ripper victim.

                        Thanks, Rob. I guess that's why maybe some placed the attack on the corner then?

                          Yes it probably is. All the reports are a bit vague. I presume her route to her lodgings would have been up Brick Lane and a left into Thrawl Street as that would be the route she took from her Lodgings to London Hospital. If Reid's report is anything to go by.

                            Hi all,

                            Regarding the mention of 'covered entrance' in some of the above posts. What's the source for that?

                            Yours truly,

                            Tom Wescott

                              Hi Tom

                              The Goad map of the western side of Brick Ln, between Wentworth and Thrawl Streets, gives the yard between Taylor's and No 7 as being an opening with a 'passage under' it would seem therefore to be a covered entrance - the gate is pure conjecture on behalf, imagining that it is a loading bay or some such for the factory.

                              Cheers

                                Surely the Goad Map quoted via the link to Rob Clack's posting?

                                All the best
