You're probably right, Philip. It most likely is you giving a tour of the victims grave sites. I am missing the Annie Chapman grave. I'll keep looking for that one. If you want to be sure I can either post the URL's here or send them to you in a pm. Let me know which you prefer, if any.

[George Hutchinson]

That's probably (?) mine.

I have YouTube clips I made of the burial sites of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Liz Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Kelly and - strangely - the Pinchin Street Torso. I also took loads of photos of the locations but they got lost (on-line, anyway) in the last crash.

They might be on my FLICKR account. If so, I'll try to put up a link for them.

I have youtube footage of the grave sites of four of the victims. If anyone is interested I'll post the URL here. Just let me know.

Many thanks for this information, Andy. Because the murder locations have mostly been rendered unrecognizable, except arguably for "Ripper's corner" in Mitre Square where Catherine Eddowes was killed, you are correct that the graves are the virtually the only way to get "close" to the victims these days, albeit as you say, the precise locations of their remains are unknown since they rest in common graves.

All the best

^^^ I had posted some photos of the grave/memorial markers on the old boards but those are probably gone now. If there is a desire for them, I can post them again under each victim's thread. I do have photos of every victim's marker and of the general area where Ann Chapman lies. There is no marker for Ann.

Here is the rundown on where they are buried:

Nichols, Eddowes: City of London Cemetery
Stride: East London Cemetery
Kelly: St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery at Leytonstone.
Chapman: Manor Park Cemetery (unmarked)

The markers that exist mark approximate locations of the graves. Eddowes and Nicholls' markers are probably very approximate. I've heard that Kelly's is probably not too accurate either. Stride may be more accurate. The headstone is recent but the concrete surround appears to be at least many decades old, perhaps even a century or more.

Since the victims were buried in common graves, the areas of these graves has been re-used. You will find no other marked pre-1900 graves in these areas today, which is an indicator that the exact locations are unknown. I asked one cemetery employee what was done physically was a section was re-used for burial. She said they would just bring in more dirt and build up the area and then bury the new bodies bascially on top of the old.

Still, it is very meaningful for me to visit the victim's graves. It gives me the impression of being as "close" to the victims as I'll ever get.

Andy Spallek wrote an article for Ripper Notes that gave details on the how to locate the Ripper victims' burial locations. The text of that article (without the photos) is reproduced here on the Casebook:

Hello Nieves

Look at the Victims section here at Casebook and it will provide you with information on the burial places of the victims as well as photographs of the grave markers.

Someone else can answer for you on the exhibition at the Museum of the Docklands, which I have not seen. There has been considerable discussion of the pros and cons of the exhibition here at "Casebook: Jack the Ripper." See
