Each feature is worth 2 marks. Feature 1 One feature of immigration in to Whitechapel could be overcrowding (1). Due to more people coming in to Whitechapel such as Jews or the Irish, there was more demand for cheap housing. (2) Feature 2 Another feature of immigration in to Whitechapel could be tension between immigrants and locals. (1) For example, many immigrants were willing to work for less and open their shops on Sundays which annoyed local businessmen and traders. (2) Question 2a will always be a source question. Here are some sentence starters you can use… Source A is useful for an enquiry into… For example in Source A I can see/it says… The nature of Source A is… which is useful because… The purpose of Source A is… which is useful because… Therefore… Source B is useful for an enquiry into… For example in Source B I can see/it says… The nature of Source B is… which is useful because… The purpose of Source B is… which is useful because… Therefore… 3 Exam questions and source investigation 1. Describe two features of housing in Whitechapel between 1870 and 1900. (4) One feature of housing in Whitechapel was that it was of a very low quality (1). For example, rookeries had lots of lodging houses which were cramped and unsanitary. (1) Another feature of housing in Whitechapel was the attempts to clear out slums (1). For example after the Dwellings Act in 1875, George Peabody funded the building of new flats which had better ventilation and plumbing. (1) Try some of these features question to consolidate your knowledge. Remember they are only worth 4 marks so identify a feature and develop. Keep it short and simple- no longer than 5 minutes. 1a.

Housing and living conditions Population of London at end of 19th Century was 4 million. Due to cheap housing East London and Whitechapel quickly became overcrowded slums or ‘rookeries. Lodging houses provided temporary accommodation but had terrible conditions. e.g. 3 people using one bed in 8 hour shifts. Flower and Dean Street had over 900 lodgers across 31 ‘Doss Houses’. No back yard, outside toilet and no indoor plumbing. Board of Works reports show that most of these house were not fit to live in and should be condemned. Source A: From the Board of Works report on sanitary condition of the Whitechapel district 1880. The houses, 38 in number, contain 143 rooms, and are occupied by 298 persons. 210 adults and 88 children… discovered 4 cases of overcrowding only, 2 in Flower and Dean Street and 2 in Lower Keate street. The interior condition of these houses is not good, they are worn out, and many of the walls and ceilings are dirty and dilapidated. The greater portion of these houses have been condemned. Census records show number of occupants and their jobs living in one street. No.3 Bucks row shows 2 adults (one low paid labourer), 8 children compared to West End streets like Hedge End where most houses have servants and footmen. Source B: Census records from Bucks Row in Whitechapel. At No. 3, there are 2 adults and 8 children sharing a house. Only one of them had a job as a labourer. 2a) Study sources A and B. How useful are Sources A and B for an enquiry into living conditions of Whitechapel? Explain your answer, using Sources A and B and your own knowledge of the historical context. 7 Charles Booth employed 80 researchers to explore the poorest areas of London.

  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

  • 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.

  • Jack the Ripper's Identity Revealed by Jack Sommers 7Th September 2014
    Jack the Ripper's identity revealed by Jack Sommers 7th September 2014 In 1888, “Jack the Ripper” terrorized the Whitechapel district and was never captured. According to various theories, he could have been a member of the Royal family, a butcher, a doctor... Russell Edwards, author and businessman, devoted decades of his life to finding Jack the Ripper's identity. First he purchased a shawl that was found next to the corpse of Catherine Eddowes, one of the victims. Then, he worked with scientist Jari Louhelainen to analyze the DNA that was found on it. He was able to persuade descendants of both the victim and suspects to donate and compare their DNA. Two types of DNA were found on the shawl: the victim's (Catherine Eddowes) and Aaron Kosminski's, one of the suspects. Aaron Kosminski was a Polish immigrant who arrived in England in the 1880s. He worked as a hairdresser in Whitechapel in the East End of London. He was on a list of police suspects but there was never enough evidence to bring him to trial at the time. Later, Kosminski was sent to an asylum where he died at the age of 53 of gangrene of the leg in 1919. In his book, Edwards writes: “ He is no longer just a suspect. My search is over: Aaron Kosminski is Jack the Ripper. ” The most famous serial killer in history has been unmasked, 126 years later. & Reading comprehension: 1.
