Jack the Ripper Memorials

These photos show several graves and memorials connected to the Jack the Ripper story, including stops at the City of London Cemetery and other cemeteries tied to the victims. At City of London Cemetery in Manor Park, the memorials for Mary Ann “Polly” Nichols, Catherine Eddowes, and Martha Tabram are included. Nichols and Eddowes are two of the canonical Ripper victims, while Tabram is often discussed as a possible earlier victim, though she is not always counted among the canonical five.

Also included are Mary Jane Kelly and Annie Chapman, who are remembered at other cemeteries. Together, these sites show the quieter side of the Ripper story. They are not the murder locations or the busy streets of Whitechapel, but the places where the women were laid to rest and remembered by name. Visiting them brings the focus back to the victims themselves, beyond the mystery and the legend around the killer.
