The video features video footage, taken in 1989, of Durward Street, formerly Buck's Row, where the first Jack the Ripper murder, that of Mary Nichols took place. When this footage was filmed the thoroughfare was on the cusp of major redevelopment, and you will be able to view it then, as well as at other times in its history.
Likewise, Mitre Square is shown at various times in its history, from 1888, through to its recent transformation.
You will see then and now footage an photographs of the sites of the murders of all eleven victims, from Emma Smith, who was attacked on Tuesday the 3rd of April 1888, through to Frances Coles, who was murdered on Friday the 13th of February, 1891.
In so doing you will not only gain an insight into the full sequence of events and the locations at the Which the Whitechapel murders occurred, but also watch events as they unfolded over that three year period back in the Victorian era.
Cant believe ive just searched for this and it was uploaded 11 minutes ago, amazing video. The Jack the ripper tour is outside my flat everyday and wanted to see the other locations. The then and now comparisons are awesome aswel, thank you very much!
Thank you for your kind words.

Wow. Do you ever have any eerie feelings?
Done the Ripper tour twice and still none the wiser who it was..i saw Mitre Square before it was changed forever and it was indeed a pretty eerie place…great video 👍
i took a walking tour there in 2010-2011 when you could still walk through the gateway in Mitre square that the killer most probably took considering where the officer came from. I was even able to find mitre square on my own afterwards and brought friends there as a sort of mini ripper walk, from towerhill, past the church and mitre quare.I probably couldnt even find it today, it looks so different. (just to go give extra info to those who dont know, i know you know)
Thanks for the tour! Wish the original sites were all still intact.
You and me both!
The people who live in the East End dont. You forget that people were still living in those slums and rat infested houses, many up until the 1960's,
@janetpendlebury6808 Your comment doesn’t really make sense. These buildings (if preserved) would obviously be renovated from the inside and cleaned up to modern living standards like hundreds of old buildings are in London today.
@@janetpendlebury6808Calm down, Janet
@janetpendlebury6808
Were you one of those people? I lived and worked there in the 60s and I loved it and the people. I hate the ugly modernisation and characterless populace that have replaced it. So sad.
This is one of the very best now and then videos of this type, and the narration has been marvellous. What I found particularly helpful is the timeline with dates.
Pleased you enjoyed it, Chris. Thank you for your kind words.
AWESOME VIDEO, MATE...!! I've been a serious student of this case since the mid-1980s.....and made two trips from the USA to London in 1993 & 1994 to walk in the footsteps of all those involved. I've LONG believed that Martha Tabram was indeed Jack's first murder and will go to my grave professing it. Mary Kelly was certainly the last victim. Kosminski?
I DO entertain the notion that the killer is likely to be someone that NONE of us have ever heard of. Some time ago, I read someone's take on the identity of the murderer and I completely concur.....and it went something like this: When I get to the Pearly Gates and ask Our Lord who was Jack The Ripper and I hear his name, I'm gonna say "WHO?!?!" LOL
Imagine the surprise when they say " we don't know either".
they more or less confirmed it was aaron kosminski because of dna match from catherine eddowes shawl.
Me and my wife did a tour around that time and made friends with a charming American lady ending up in a local pub. The landlady went out for a load of cigarettes as I had run out, great atmosphere and fond memories. We stayed at the ibis hotel behind Euston Station and saw a few more sights. For me Kosminski is almost certainly the culprit as I believe in the canonical five. What is thought provoking though is the constantly changing face of London, 'Dorset Street' looks quite attractive now but Mitre Square is a bit of something and nothing. Interestingly the gateway at Durward Street is effectively been restored, albeit an entrance/exit to the underground station (which isn't at all in keeping with it's surroundings).
@@Erik-ce3hqIt's too complicated for me to explain, but you need to research that. It doesn't prove he was the murderer at all.
@@Erik-ce3hq it was based on mitochondrial dna, which many humans share genes together, researchers today say that it doesn't prove anything and the tissue in which the dna test was made has no proof of ever being at the site of murder, it's just the heirloom of someone who inherited from the cops who was at the site and supposedly took it from there, but we don't know for sure if it was actually related with the murder
Extremely well done! In this day and age of AI voice-overs, I really appreciate the time and effort to make a video like this.
An excellent memorial for all the victims. Thank you for doing this. 💜
This must have taken some time and effort to make. Great work as always Rich!
Thank you, Dave.
This is the best video on Jack the Ripper, I have ever seen. Great work!
Thank you for your kind words, Donna. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Great upload Richard very informative and shows how much London has changed. One can only imagine how unsafe Whitechapel was back in the day. Thankyou for your efforts.
Glad you enjoyed it
The truth is with a city as old as London, anyplace you go is likely to be the site of some long past and sadly forgotten murder or tragic and untimely death.
This is fascinating stuff as always from Richard.
29 Hanbury Street was visited by actor James Mason for the 1967 documentary The London Nobody Knows. He knocks on the door and walks straight through to the backyard. It’s incredible to see it pretty much as it would have been at the time of the Whitechapel murders. The clip can be found here on CZcams for those interested.
Super video, as ever. This is the go to CZcams channel for anything Ripper related.
That was excellent! Love trawlling the streets of Spitalfields and Whitechapel 😃 Still not 100% sure Liz Stride was a Ripper victim but I do think Martha Tabram was - who knows though? ☺
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I was in London in May of 2006, and took the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour. It left from Tower Hill, and we covered the five murders officially attributed to the Ripper. It was dark on the tour, so wasn't easy to see the places we stopped, or take photos. It is greatly appreciated that you offered the past and present shots of the sites of the murders. From your video, I did recognize some of the places, like the Boarding School, and Mitre Square, the scene of what it looked like when I was there. Thanks again.
This is the best video ive seen explaining where all the murder sites were. Brilliant video and RIP to all victims 🙏
This channel is very nice. Always learning something new every time I watch.
Glad you enjoy it!
So well done, sir! I really love the respect that you give the victims. Thank you.
Thank you, Michael.

Brilliant video. Probably the best I've seen.
Watched and instantly subscribed. Thanks for the work you put into this and I can’t wait to binge your other vids. ❤
Great work as always, Mr. Jones.
Thank you kindly
Bless you ❤️ I needed to listen to you. Thank you ❤
Nice video, thank you ❤️🍻👍
Brilliant stuff, love your work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow thank you for this love seeing the before and today's locations it truly is fascinating.
Beautifully assembled and I loved all the old video from the 60s as well. Amazing how many buildings and structures survived for so long. Would love to hear more about some of these bystanding buildings and companies we see in period ads e.g. Essex Wharf, Keeley and Tonge etc. what they made and how popular they were. Fascinating. Love a good then and now! Many thanks, made my day and best thing I’ve seen on CZcams for a while ☺️
Thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Richard, you are surely the gift that keeps giving. Fantastic video. Thank you.
So nice of you
I don't think "Long Liz" was a Ripper victim, but Catherine Eddowes, with whom I share a birthday, certainly was.
The Eddowes Shawl nonsense was absurd. It wasn't a shawl, it didn't belong to Eddowes, and the "DNA profile" they got from it would fit about 400,000 Londoners at the time. The "shawl" meanwhile, had been handled by dozens of people in the last 100 years.
Thank you for this brilliant video Richard.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic Richard , will watch tonight 👍
Thanks Richard another great post 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video, very interesting with the comparisons of the area. 10/10.
Fascinating. thank you for the well presented research and work.
Very interesting and very well done!
Thank you.
All the Jack the Ripper videos I have been watching are great.
Brilliant video, Thankyou
I really enjoyed this video, very interesting indeed. I liked the "Then & now" photos.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I've been to all the sites, except for Clarks Yard in Poplar (only once), several times. Philip Hutchinson took me to Chamber Street on the private tour I booked with you for November 2022, & we got a good look through the glass.
I did get some night shots of Durward Street, & there was a brief moment I was alone, & I found it unsettling. I also under exposed some shots to make them darker for atmospheric effect.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Brett. It is interesting to look through the glass at the Chamber Street site.
Without a doubt one of the best videos on this case. Your narration and pacing is perfect.
Do you still do tours? How does one book with you for next time I’m able to drag my mum and step-dad to London?
Excellent report.
Absolutely bloody brilliant video. Congratulations to everybody involved in its making. The amount of detail which you incorporated into this, is nothing short of magnificent. The dates, times, old photographs, the names of witnesses and policemen. It's these details which make this video the masterpiece that it is. I can only imagine the amount of research and work that went into producing it, and thank you for it.
Most importantly, you are reminding the world that these women were real people with real lives. All of them individuals and not just another victim of Jack The Ripper. R.I.P ladies, we will never forget you ❤
Excellent storytelling. Thank you for your compassion.
Excellent as ever
Very kind of you.
Hope you had an excellent holiday season Richard.
Thank you.
Many thanks :)
Brilliant vid ...
Fascinating! Hope I can go to London and see these places one day!
I was just scrolling through CZcams and a video of Jack the Ripper showed so I was going to watch it.Read through the comments first and they said that was the worse to watch and said to come here.So here I am.Binging and Subscribing❤❤❤❤
Your best work yet
Thank you.
Love the narrator tone!
Thank you kindly!
Top stuff Richard 🇦🇺👍🏻🇦🇺
Thank you.
Brilliant!
Just came across this video and I found it riveting. I was going to say I thoroughly enjoyed it but that would be so inappropriate. I have always been intrigued with JTR and have books, seen countless documentaries and have been to a talk on the subject by a retired Detective. I have never seen anything regarding the last three women so it was even more interesting to me. I know the lodgings and houses were mostly squalid but can't help thinking how much more characteristic and atmospheric they were compared to the stark, clinical and cold like buildings of their replacements. I shall be looking out for all your videos from now on!
Excellent as usual Richard,I know some of those places from the early 1980’s,whoever he was and how many victims were attributable to him?difficult to say with any certainty,I tend to think Mary Kelly likely the last of the infamous killer,it would be interesting if someone had the time and inclination to compile a list from all known records and sources from the Whitechapel and just beyond area of arrests,incarcerations,deaths etc of men for say 6 months after the millers court murder,including mental health cases aswell as criminal,his name may well be amongst those even if no link be obvious initially,people have spent vast amounts of time over the years studying the case and going round in circles with fundamentally the same information,such as list without any prejudices might be the best chance of someone having a eureka moment!
Now that nearly all the murder sites are totally obliterated I am surprised that no one has bought a large warehouse and recreated the main 5 main murder sites within it. A ‘museum’ like this, featuring other items of interest would be very popular.
Thank you for this. Another amazing presentation. I was engaged the entire time. Things have certainly changed. I believe that Martha Tabram is where the story begins. But like Jack's true identity, we may never know. Regardless, I'm still interested in the possibilities. Always a pleasure 🍻
Very kind of you to say so, Matthew. Pleased you enjoyed it.
In the film/documentary "The London Nobody Knows" a then famous actor (Can't remember his name) goes into the then still standing 29 Hanbury Street and is shown the murder spot.
James Mason?
Thank you Richard.. This is something that fascinates me. I could never understand is, with the murder of Mary Nichols they instantly knew they had a serial murder on their hands? There must have been some pattern forming . To my mind there must have been more
I think it was because they counted the previous two murders, Emma Smith and Martha Tabram.
@@JackTheRipperTours Did they print obituaries in the 1880s ? And if they did would it include the people of the abyss? Like you informed us ,most of the police records were destroyed during the blitz. I believe there must be some mention in the news papers, If not in the greater London area, then maybe the surrounding cities. the One thing I know about Britts is the fact that you are very meticulous and organized.
Very good point I never thought of that
The wall that starts at the school on Bucks row and goes further down is a wall that overlooks the railway below. Was this the same wall that was recently removed for the exit to Whitechapel station?
(1) The knife use on Stride was different to the other murders.
(2)The angles of the cuts were different to the others.
(3) She was the only one killed south of Whitechapel Road.
(4) Stride was not strangled.
(5) She was dragged in to the yard.
It screams a "domestic" to me - extreme case obviously but from what the witness Schwartz said, it sounds like they were having a row. Or an angry pimp perhaps?? Not Jack though.
I'm interested in the fact that the Pinchin Street victim was buried preserved in a box of spirits. Is there any kind of grave marker on the burial site?
Hi Chris. There is no grave marker. But it would be interesting to know if the box is still there.
Fascinating.
I wonder if any paranormal activity has happened at any of the sites, especially at Miller's Court, where Mary Ann Kelly was found? Is the new building an office or residential?
Simply exquisite video!
I think places such as where these poor souls lost their lives with history should not be destroyed.. 😢
You really want people to continue to live in those slums? They were slums, insanitary and rat infested homes.
Are you aware of the James Mason documentary showing 29 Hanbury Street including a walk through the passage to the murder site. It's on CZcams.
A fine, well-presented video presentation of the Whitechapel sites haunted by the forever unidentified Jack the Ripper and his misfortunate victims. I am glad you had the tact to spare showing us the awful crime scene photographs showing Jack's bestial work in all its gory and demonic aspects. I have been subjected to them one too many times in tacky documentaries on the killings and wish to never lay my eyes on them again! Besides, the contemporary newspaper illustrations do a decent enough job of depicting the grizzly circumstances in which the bodies of the killer's (or several killers') victims were found.
On my next visit to London (hopefully soon), I will make a point of joining your tour. While there this summer past I had intended to do so, but its incredible popularity meant all tours for the duration of my short visit were sold out!
No matter how many buildings and streets change you cannot erase history. Sad to see how commercialized and the concrete atmosphere of White Chapel looks in this current Century.
It’s an horrendous place now and was then too….
I did a term paper on Jack the Ripper my sophomore year in high school (‘75) This started my interest in true crime… Now that I’m retired I have more spare time to devote to my “hobby”
Do you think he was an American ?
@suzannewebb7913
He was undoubtedly a local man with intimate knowledge of the area and police beats. Somebody well used to be walking around those streets at those times. Like Charles Lechmere.
20:30 - I can just hear the architects going, "HEY!!!"
My daughter and I went in a Ripper tour. Very interesting!🇺🇸
Brilliantly informative and quite moving.
After watching detailed accounts of the discovery of Polly Nichols in Bucks Row, and taking into the account:
The probable time of her death
The arrival time of Charles Cross
The arrival time of Robert Paul
The failure of Robert Paul to see any blood
The presence of blood when PC Neil arrived just a few minutes later
it is my opinion that Charles Cross alias Charles Lechmere WAS Jack the Ripper. There is also a powerful coincidence linking him to the Pinchin Street torso.
I agree re Lechmere. He was a local, unremarkable man, which is who I think JTR would’ve been. So many people favour Kosminski because he was a known lunatic, but I just don’t think JTR was some raving madman.
Hiya Richard, I cant wait until Me (Choppy) and my friend Michael come on your Jack The Ripper tour, this October, I'm glad it dosen't look run down like in 1888, it seems like a safer place to go to, on your tour do we get to see where the victims are buried? maybe its night time so visibility is poor, do you have to book weeks in advanced to go on your tour? this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Hi Choppy. We don't visit the graves on the tour, although we do on the private cab tour. However, I'm happy to send you directions.
@@JackTheRipperTours Hiya Richard, I think Me and Michael would want to get back to hotel, after the tour
Martha Tabram is more likely a Ripper victim than Liz Stride is....if you discount Tabram for not being "ripped" then you have to discount Stride for the same reason
I knew the Whitechapel/Bethnal Green are in the mid 60s to early 70s having relatives living there - we were in nearby Leyton before moving to Loughton........I couldn't recognise the area from your videos and photos it has changed so much
The local council destroyed all the locations for profit more than progress, with no respect or thought for our local history.
Further to that destroyed the whole borough for investment by the middle classes and the numerous immigrants.
The Rippers last victim,Mary Kelly,was from my home place in Limerick Ireland... she suffered a terrible fate.
It always amazes me to think of the dichotomy of earth. The same very spot where a first date shared a kiss was where horrible things happened. I imagine every square inch of this earth has shared beauty and tragedy we couldn’t understand. If earth could talk …..
11:36 The man asking Annie in a foreign accent 'Will you'?
Aaron Kosminsky?
The ripper wasn’t kosminsky, this has been proven multiple times.
It’s no surprise the police didn’t catch him. I mean look at all those alleyways. Jack could easily be blocks away from the scene in minutes.
Thank you for all your hard work. It’s too easy to romanticise the Victorian East End. The majority was a slum where even the inhabitants did not want to be.
Thank you, Barbara.
Fantastic pics shame not the same.
29 Hanbury Street can be seen by going to
‘James Mason Hanbury Street’
All of them.
I hate when things change : )
29:34 - I love the (unintentional or not?) shade at the woman that was passing by.
Also, some really beautiful historic (and modern) buildings, all blighted by the plague that is graffiti.
There is a theory that he killed a woman by slitting her throat from the front in a room. It says that because the person was learning and they would have been covered in blood, they learnt to cut from behind the person.
Poor women. RIP
The police have just reopened the case and think the Ripper may have lived on Flower & Dean St. I would not at all be surprised if they are correct in that assumption.
ummmmmm can anyone else see a woman standing behind the gate at 15:24...dark hair in a bun......is I going crazy??????
Likely that Jack was a butcher. Cant recall the name, but he was the man that left scene to find police. Theres a great doc on that guy. I took the jack tour last halloween.
There were definitely more than 5. And most likely the ripper was interrupted or disturbed in. A lot of these deadly attacks.
Charles Lechmere....a very suspicious character in my opinion.
Indeed. It was most definitely him.
Read Patricia Cornwell's book on Jack the Ripper, amazing details in it. She spent 10 years researching it.
Didn’t she name Sickert as her top suspect? I heard that book comes to a load of useless conclusions.
Why didn't SCHWARTZ intervene when a woman was clearly being Abused?
He thought she was an old tarp. Jeez, what kind of place did these people live in? And if he's going to work why is he going to stop to mess with a tarp anyway? Well let's just waste time folding up a old tarp to drag it along and maybe end up late for work. Oookkkkaay!
Considering the amount of poverty at the time, what's wrong with his assumption that he could make use of & use it ? We live in a far too throw away take things for granted era nowadays, back then there was a lot more sharing of possessions and passing things on hand me down clothing in families and in communities and mending and making do. I feel you're judging here and I applaud his wish to be thrifty opportunistic and smart in taking something he believed had been discarded or left behind.
Because he was lying. Lechmere was most definitely the Ripper.
My. Mum. Was. Born. In Whitechapel. When. Was. Out playing. Her. Mum would. Shout. ! Come in. Or. The. Ripper. Will. Get. You. !!!!
A lot of the new development is awful. Just bland, soulless, and non-human. Progress of this sort is bad. I'll take the old brick architecture and narrow streets.
Me too!
Psyop.
This was clearly the work of Donald trump 😮
