Thanks Wolfie.

Some reading to do.

As a fellow Aussie.. you are welcome The medical reports go back to early 1880's.

The report mentions the Jewish population and list of registered butchers in butchers row, an interesting read.

The deaths of children and babies is a sad statistic.

It seems that there was another “row” (Whitechapel High Street) of butchers/ meat salesmen next to the Butchers Row/ Aldgate High Street, separated only by Somerset Street/ Mansell Street.

Opposite Aldgate East Station:

Lankester and Chamberlain, meat salesmen, 2 Whitechapel High Street
Benjamin James Wood, butcher, 3 Whitechapel High Street
Charles Henry Knight, meat salesman, 4 Whitechapel High Street
Horwitz & Lialter, meat salesmen, 6 Whitechapel High Street

Next to Aldgate East Station, corner Middlesex Street:

Simon van der Linde, meat salesman, 146 Whitechapel High Street

(this shop was opposite the butcher shops 2, 3, 4, 6, Whitechapel High Street)
