from library ,

I'm part way through and leaving aside any interest in Jack the Ripper, there are some great photos of Whitechapel and its residents, ditto prints. and it gives a very good idea of the poverty , racial and religious input etc.
Well worth looking at if you have rellies from that area as I do :))
