pay close attention

The smaller of the maps is Spitalfields. The larger is my overlay number 16. Just grasp the relationship for what follows. All subsequent plottings stem from the 16 overlay The first is peabody buildings, and the second is police stations. I also have:almshouses, breweries,board schools, hospitals,places of worship. rail stations, and noteable places. The same is true for overlay 17. These are long term plottings and can be paired with any other plot seen on geII. Dave

here is the current sheet 16 macro

There will be updates, soon schools and firehouses. Dave

The end result

The point of all this is to assemble an understanding of the terrain not based on words, and born out of a 19th century bias. My end game is to be able to display the state of infrastructure as it existed in 1888. Dave

something along these lines

Rail stations for 16 and 17. Dave

a multi purpose image

Hi kids! Here is the city basin as it existed in 1888. You may note the remnants to the right of the blue field. That is how far my overlays are from true. Since the overwhelming majority of plots stem directly from the overlays themselves, they will all possesses the same bias. If there is a situation other than that I will disclose that up front. Considering the overlays are cobbled together from maps scanned from a book, pretty good. This applies to the numbered overlays and not the Spitalfields overlay as that is a single map sheet. It is also good to note that this is the kind of change to be expected in living cities. Dave

sheet 16 board schools

Here are the board schools indicated on the map itself for sheet 16. Dave

[protohistorian]

and schools in general

These are all schools indicated on the map, not specifically designated board schools. Many are connected to religous institutions. Some are "charity" schools, some are parochial. Dave

sheet 16

Post offices. These are just the ones indicated in the Bacon atlas. I do not consider this comprehensive.....yet. Dave

[protohistorian]

and here is something different

Image 1 is my 17 overlay, and as you can see there are in fact two cop shops within blocks. I mage 2 is the spitalfields overlay, with the red dot being the Nichols murder site. Dave

How close am I?

Is this plotting accurate? Dave

geo profile

Here is an overlay posted on the geo profile thread by Wesley English. Sometimes, other ripperologists contribute valuable stuff. Dave

one for my London peers

What is this place? Dave
