  • Press Releases Unique Crime Collection Giving Insight Into
    Unique crime collection giving insight into Whitechapel murders to be made public for the first time The unique personal archive of the detective who led the hunt for Jack the Ripper - including a book in which he names the infamous Whitechapel murderer - will be made public for the first time after being given into the care of an independent museum. The private collection of Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector Donald Sutherland Swanson has been entrusted to the National Emergency Services Museum (NESM) in Sheffield by the former detective's family. The treasure trove lay undiscovered for decades until Swanson's descendants discovered an enormous collection of over 150 individual objects; paperwork, photographs, letters, drawings and personal belongings. Among them was what became known as 'the Swanson marginalia'; a book, annotated by Swanson, in which he names the person he believed to be the infamous killer, Jack the Ripper. The marginalia is thought to be a unique artefact revealing unknown details of the case as well as theories and notes on what evidence the Metropolitan Police had gathered - all from the pen of the inspector charged with solving the case. The marginalia, along with other items from the collection, will form part of a new exhibition, Daring Detectives & Dastardly Deeds, which will be revealed to visitors when the museum reopens on Wednesday 19 May. The exhibition, housed within NESM's original Victorian cells, explores the intriguing history of 19th crime and punishment from the bobby on the beat to the emerging science of forensics. The Swanson collection is thought to be one of the most detailed and significant of its kind.

  • Whitechapel, C.1870-C.1900: Crime, Policing and the Inner City
    Whitechapel, c.1870-c.1900: crime, policing and the inner city. Booth’s Poverty map, 1888, showing the location of the five Ripper murders and of the Eddowes apron / “Juwes” message (Goulston Street). 1 The local context of Whitechapel. Generally: Whitechapel, in the East-End of London, was one of its poorest districts; 30,000 people lived there (176,000 lived in the bigger police Whitechapel H-Division area). Middle classes. Although Whitechapel was marked by poverty, there were businesses and richer inhabitants as well. Usually they lived and traded along the larger roads such as Whitechapel Road and Commercial Road. Pollution and poor sanitation: London suffered from terrible pollution from coal and gas fumes and industries (e.g. the London Smog was a soot-laden fog that severely restricted visibility and caused death from impeded respiration / breathing); Sewerage and sanitation was poor and healthy drinking water unreliable, both causing diseases such as typhus and cholera. Work: Much of the work in Whitechapel was casual or sweated labour: o casual labour – such as in the docks or in construction – meant that workers were employed a day at a time: no job or income security; o sweated labour meant work in cramped, dusty and unhealthy “sweatshops” for low wages in “sweated trades”, e.g. tailoring, dress and shoe making. The Board of Trade was responsible for work conditions / inspections of work premises. Activity: Read the information on page 2 and complete the mind map identifying the key points under the headings below.

  • Killing Jack
    KILLING JACK by Geezis Kryst [email protected] Copyright ©2020 FADE IN: EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT SUPERIMPOSE: LONDON 1888 Whitechapel. A run down, working class area. The streets are cobbled in places, trodden dirt in others. Alleyways are claustrophobic and dark. Sounds of a struggle come from one of these alleys. A woman is whimpering and trying to call for help but her cries are muffled. JACK, a nondescript man, dressed all in black, his face obscured by the shadow of a large cap, kneels over a prone woman, his gloved hand over her mouth. ANNIE CHAPMAN, 47, a thin prostitute is struggling for her life. Her punches and slaps weaken against the man’s strength. He reaches behind him and produces a long thin knife. He slices her throat deeply as fountains of blood splatter over him. Her struggles cease as her arms collapse beside her. Jack’s breathing hard and there is a constant incoherent mumble coming from him as he starts to mutilate Annie’s body. He eventually finishes and stands holding a piece of organ in his hand. He places it in his pocket and calmly walks away without a backward glance. Moments later, JOHN DAVIS, 50, walks around the corner of the alley and towards the body. As he draws closer he slows, uncertain of what he sees. A sudden realisation that it’s the body of a woman hits him and he starts screaming loudly for help. CUT TO: INT. KITCHEN - MORNING LIBBY PARSONS, 25, COCKNEY, a plain looking, mousy, shy housemaid with brown hair tied in a bun, is on her knees in a Victorian townhouse scrubbing the wooden floor.
