2nd photo down is a spindle-shaped object (?building) with the caption: "No introduction necessary." Well, maybe not to a Londoner in 2009. But on THIS side of the pond 8 1/2 years later, I have NO idea what the Hell it is! (And this quite pertinent to Ripperology or any other historical study: ASSUMED knowledge isn't always clear to EVERYONE at the TIME, let alone years/decades/centuries later!!)

Photos inside Mitre Square looking up towards the Gherkin towering overhead are really something to see. Perhaps someone will come along and post one.

Used to be the address of the Baltic Exchange after moving from Threadneedle Street.

If Jack was my suspect,he might well have been familiar with the area as a child
accompanying his father and uncle from Hull.
Both were Master Mariners trading the Baltic Sea.
