  • Headstone

    Hello all,

    Can anybody tell me exactly when this pre 2003 headstone was first put into place please? It is of the exact same design as the pre 2003 Mary Nicholls headstone, presumably laid at the same time.



    It is the pre 2003 headstone.

    The post 2003 headstone has the name spelt correctly, Eddowes, the pre 2003 stone is spelt Eddows.


    best wishes

      Hi Phil,

      Under the Victims page I found this :

      "In late 1996, the cemetery authorities decided to mark Polly's grave with a plaque"

      If that's what you mean.

          Looks like the authorities did the same for Kate in 1996.

          cheers

            Hello Nick,
            thanks for this information, I am most obliged. Now the only question remains... what was in place before the 1996 headstone(S) we speak of?


            best wishes

              Hi Phil,

              I think they were both unmarked and the markers put there in 1996 are the approximate locations of the original graves.

                Hello Nick,

                I am pretty sure you are correct.. but I also seem to distantly recall that somebody located and possibly?? (marked) the position of the graves in the 1970's. I could be totally wrong of course. As they were in paupers graves, were they not?
