• Mitre Square - Moving to the school gate where Catherine Eddowes was found dead and mutilated on 30th August 1888. This was the second murder within an hour, discovered by PC Edmund Watkins on his beat. It was an exciting case for the City of London Police at the time. You will follow their search route for Jack to the place where the only clue, if it can be called that, was found, again accompanied by photos.
• Goulston Street - You will stop opposite 108-119 Goulston St to view the doorway where the only clue in the Jack the Ripper case was found. Your guide will explain what happened after this discovery and how the Metropolitan and City of London police forces were, and still are, separate.

• Brick Lane - Opposite the Frying Pan pub in Brick Lane (the last place she had a drink), you will hear the tragic story of Polly Nichols. If she had not been desperate for lodging money, she might never have been one of Jack’s victims.

Photos of the victim and murder site are shown on a tablet.

A prominent suspect was later discounted, and photos of the victim and murder site are shown.

• Puma Court - The tour stops here to look at one of the letters received by the press at the time. Although 1,092 letters were sent to the police and press, this and one other stand out as important. As the tour leaves, you will hear newspaper boys/men shouting lurid headlines that stoked fear.
