Please make suggestions for additions, annotations, points of interest and all that.

Great work, Richard!

As for a possible addition, this might be of interest:

Lloyd’s Weekly News, 30 September 1888
Last night a correspondent furnished us with another strange story of an incident occurring early on Thursday morning, near to the scene of the four murders. He states that early in the morning a woman was sitting sleeping on some steps in one of the houses in Dorset-street, when she was awoke by a man who asked her whether she had any bed to go to, or any money to pay for a lodging. She replied that she had not, upon which he said he had money, and then gave her what she thought was two half-sovereigns. She went with him down a passage, and when there he seized her by the throat and tried to strangle her. A scuffle ensued between them, in which she screamed and got away. The next morning she found that what he gave her was two farthings machined round the edge like gold coins. She described him as being a man with a dark moustache, and dressed in a rough frieze blue overcoat.

So, this allegedly occured on the Thursday morning before the 'double event'.

All the best,
Frank

Hi Richard, any ideas when it comes up with page not found?

Yeah, Don't use that link. It obsolete. The new map is here:
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPOiY0...d=911293610679

Click this (above) link and if the page takes a time to load the clear image of the map, just refresh the page. The map is huge and sometimes the page won't load the image first time.

Can admin change the link in the first post, please?

I have put a large OS map of Whitechapel online which is available to view and annotate. If you would like to help populate the map with relevant annotations and points of interest it would help me as I go about creating my VR creations.
The link to view it is:

https://www.collabshot.com/show/7a2afa

and if you want to add annotations you just need to get past the password I've set, which is:
jacktheripper1888

I know there are loads of maps already online but I wanted ONE large OS covering the whole area of Whitechapel - and with luck - includes all the locations and points of interest to do with the case (and it can be updated in real-time).
Hope you can take a few moments to add your annotations.
thanks

First time I have seen this. It really rather good! Thanks richardh

Thanks.
I want to populate it with an exhaustive ton of useful annotations.
I might setup a page on my website where folk can submit annotation additions.
It's really quite easy to add them yourself once you're login and assigned as an editor.
But for me, if I get a suggestion I can add it in a few seconds.

try me

The link, or the map?

The link gave me the map.

Second attempt led me to the "other link".

Thank you Richard

Dunno why that short URL link defaulted to the short url website (it should link to the map and I did test it!). No matter. Here's the link again

https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPOiY0Zs=/?share_link_id=911293610679

Wonder if admin could change the link in my post as I can't edit it now.
thanks
