  • Dutfield's Yard. Now part of a school playground.
  • The most incredible thing was that Jack the Ripper was inerrupted while trying to commit this murder. The man who entered the yard with his cart and his pony was barely a few steps away from JTR, but Jack was hidden behind the door this man opened. If this guy had leaned forward with the light on, he would have seen his face and the mistery of JTR ID would’ve been sold - probably for ever! Instead, his pony stopped, it felt something, so he lit the match (that lit just for a second) and saw the body. He got scared and ran into the building looking for help. Little did he know, that just beside the body, there was JTR. By the time he came back with other people, JTR has already left.
