In 1888, a Swedish student by the name of Carl Hellman went for a night out in Spitalfields, where he had a little too much to drink.
Having fallen into the company of several women, he was led by them to Thrawl Street, from where he was ushered by one of the women, Mary Hawkes, to a common lodging house in Flower and Dean Street.
Here, he paid eightpence for a "double room" - which was, in fact, little more than a portioned off section of a much larger dormitory.
What happened next was not quite the way in which he expected his night out in Spitalfields to end.

As a swede I'm always "Oh yeah! One of the victims were swedish!" It feels so random that she was. There's a book on her documenting her life before her murder. Poor woman, honestly. Nothing was ever easy for her. Great video! 🙌💙

Richard, we really enjoy your work over here in South Carolina. I have been interested in the JTR case since I was a youth, and your content is well written and informative. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Another Gem .. It makes Sunday morning enjoyable. I've heard Flower and Dean street come up alot when people discuss the Whitechapel murders, Like the torso murders, I wonder if there is anything to the theories that they are connected?

Thr picture of the locale at 3:52 is very intriguing. I'm assuming it was taken in the late 60s prior to demolition or redevelopment perhaps?

" no short cuts " if you mean no way off Bucks Row your very wrong there was up to twenty ways off .

What exactly do you mean? Have you ever looked at Bucks Row on a map of 1888?

Police now believe the Ripper lived on Flower and Dean St, and I'm inclined to believe them since they are professionals at it. Do you think this is where his residence would have been?

I always thought the Ripper lived around or on Brick Lane. Very central.
