6 Fashion Street please.

Hi Dave,

Is this address significant other than being the address given by Eddowes to the police at Bishopsgate?

Cheers, George

6 Fashion Street please.

Added.
Search the map to locate
thanks

Well done, and thanks Richard.

Might I suggest that Butcher's Row be added. It is believed that Sagar and Cox had a prominent suspect under surveillance in that area. Details are here:

Cheers, George

Added butcher's Row
Just search the map to find it.
thanks

I've updated the map again to a bigger version with a much better resolution (thanks to FrankO for the map).

Also, The map has its own website now. The direct link to the map is now the easy-to-remember jtrmap.com

Not sure why, but your signature isn't showing.

Oh okay!
well, the map link is easy to remember:

I've sent you an invite to edit the map, Jeff. Okay?
thanks

The map has been updated to a VERY big and hi-definition version. Better tiling and is more detailed. It's just BIG so will take a time to load in your browser.

Would it be possible to layer the map to display only the info required? Say, tick or untick boxes to show eg Canonical murder sites, public houses and police stations...
Or would that be too complicated?

Alas, that's not possible. Not even in the premium (paid) subscriptions. That would be good. I've searched high and low for a good platform for collaborative image annotations online but there isn't one that fits all our needs totally. This one is the closest fit for what we need.
However, I think this one works well enough.
I will try to tile the map better today, so there are fewer misaligned parts.

Hi richardh,

It's looking good and overall a nice contribution. I did notice that some of the joins between sections of the map are misaligned. For example, around Stride's murder location, there's a section just below where you can see how Fairclough doesn't align properly with the bit to the west (where Fairclough meets Back Church Lane). There's a section that goes south as far as Pinchen Street that just needs to be shifted down a bit. Also, the Bishopsgate Ward section needs realignment as well (New Street doesn't line up, for example; I think there might be a mismatch between map sources going on there that's causing the problem as just above the big red arrow you can see the public house and the bank next to Artillery Lane twice, though the bank is only labelled in one view, and if you were to align them then New Street is going to get worse; Probably need to recapture some bits all from the same source map or these kind of things will invariably occur).

It's a big job, but if your goal of it becoming a "go to reference map" is to be achieved then getting the underlying image lined up will be necessary. Might be easier to do before it gets too filled up with notes and annotations though. So far, those sections are not too crowded with information.

Yes, The maps tiles are a bit misaligned in some areas. I can spend a bit more time getting them to fit better.
I did create another test map last night which is HUGH and much higher resolution. The tiles fit together much better (there are a few small misalignments but not too jarring).
The trouble with this map (the test one - link below) is how big it is and whether it loads quickly enough and perhaps causes lag (stuttering) when you pan.

The size and resolution are great though.

Which is the better one?

I just worry that there won’t be enough room to fit in all the significant references, particularly in the core Spitalfields area.

Yes, a lot happened in a small area with all the people, events, and locations involved, it could get pretty crowded pretty quickly. I suppose that could hint at the overcrowding the people lived in at the time.
