Aerial view of Mitre Square today?

These may help.

This is "Ripper corner" with the red area being where Catherine Eddowes was found. It is the work of Colin Roberts (Septic Blue).


These last two were taken by me in 2005. The first is a view from Mitre Street into the Square (shooting east). Your blue car is parked near the bollards.


Here is a shot looking south from Mitre Passage to the spot where Eddowes was found. Your blue vehicle is left of mine.


Cheers,

Robert

According to flashearth.com and maps.live.com there's a fence and a parking lot facing the blue car. To the southwest is the roof of a building. Hope that helps.

Hello, I'm new to the Casebook. Since I live in Memphis, Tennessee, I was using Google Earth to view some of the JTR sites. Can somebody check out the aerial view of Mitre Square and tell me what I am seeing? (If you don't have Google Earth, Google Maps works almost as well.) The irregular outline of the original "square" as it's been depicted on old maps and diagrams seems to have survived, since it's visible from the air, but what is immediately east of it (right next to that blue car parked in the square itself)? Is that the roof of a building, or is that open space? In other words, what is now right next to what is usually called the "Jack the Ripper Corner" in the southeast corner? The image is just too dark to tell. If somebody familiar with this site can "walk" me around it, that would be much appreciated. I took a JTR tour some 15 years ago, but it was nighttime and though we visited Mitre Square I couldn't really tell what surrounded it. Many thanks, Michael
