Jack the Ripper

Whitechapel 1888

 

Dorset Street ran parallel with Brushfield Street and White’s Row and could be entered from either Crispin Street, Little Paternoster Row or Commercial Street. On one of its corners with Commercial Street stood The Britannia public house. Locally known as the ‘Ringers’ on account of the landlord’s surname, it was often frequented by Mary Jane Kelly. Situated opposite Miller’s Court was Crossingham’s doss-house, with another at the corner of Little Paternoster Row, 35 Dorset Street. It was from this doss-house that Annie Chapman was last seen tottering up Little Paternoster Row, turning right into Brushfield Street and heading towards Christ Church, Spitalfields.
