Mitre square road changes, and yes I apologize for the contrast.

Or perhaps you favor how modern roads compare to those of 1888.

Here is an example. Emma Smith and her routing options. Simply by virtue of two know points.

Now that I can do this, if readers are willing to submit requests, and a London peer (John Bennet I am looking in your direction)would take a gps reading for the place, I would be willing to plot other points of interest for those of us that are geographically impaired. Respectfully Dave

Here is another snap from google earth. Some explanations are needed to understand this image. The white square is an overlay of an 1888 map. The blue balloons represent the kill sites and other points of interest as available for download from google earth. These include such goodies as the murder sites of Frances Coles ( blue balloon at the bottom center of the overlay), the Emma Smith attack site, the murder site of Alice McKenzie, the Ten Bells Pub, and the Old Spitalfields Market.The green squares represent the kill sites as recorded on the 1888 map. You will notice they do not correlate at 100%. I have tried and tried and can get them no closer than this. The yellow line is the transect between 126 cable Street and St. Johns Square. Let me know what you think or I will just keep making these and wasting everyones time, and I mean it too! Respectfully Dave
