A very hearty thanks to Mr. Clack

I found this image on the internet. It was prepared by none other than Mr. Clack. It demonstrates rather clearly the relationship between Eddowes's corpse and the policing boundry between the metropolitan and city forces. Line is 933 feet in length. Dave

modern political boundaries

Once again considering our many peers outside the U.K. Here is an overlay of modern political divisions. Dave

basics

For those of us not in london. The parishes. Overlay taken from a pic posted by Septic Blue on the thread "population totals". Dave

The battle of God v. Drink

Here is the image for God v. Drink for the relevant area. Churches 37, pubs 61. But ask yourself, even now which is socially sanctioned? When did you hear a politician announcing going to the local pub? But boy and howdy, they all belong to churches. Dave

Old Montague Street Mortuary

Does anyone have a detail image of this place? I would settle for a textual geographic description. PLEASE. Dave

an overplayed card

We all have had a healthy dose of how prevalent alcohol was in our saga. Demographically however, I think the card might be overplayed. Here are the 16 and 17 distilleries. Compare this with the religous institutions and you may in fact have the source of the bias. Dave

that old timey religion

For some reason Bacon fealt the need to distinguish between Catholics and Christians and Jews. So here is what he had. The great synagogue near mitre Square is not represented, by virtue of my dumb ass failing to turning the plot on prior to capture. In order: Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Reformed Christian ( which by the way has a healthy dose of Baptists).

Hi, Dave,

Thank you.

Almshouses and workhouses

Almshouses tend to be quite small, of a similar size to churches. Workhouses tend to be very large, on the order of cathedrals. Dave

17 hospitals

I could not let 16 be alone. I am such a softy. Dave

[protohistorian]

sheet 16 hospitals

I have noticed on these boards, at times, and only among a few, a tendency to belittle or denigrate Victorian medicine. Here are the hospitals on sheet 16. The white square is as always, our favorite neck of the woods, which by the way, contains London Hospital. Notice there are hospitals of many disciplines. On sheet 17 there is a T.B. specific hospital. Note also the proximity to our area of interest. Dave

Do you suppose....

The metropolitan public library at left, Mary Kelly at right. The line is 1282 feet long. Do you think she had a card? Dave
