Hanbury Street

Hanbury Street

Hanbury Street is a street in Spitalfields, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London.

In the early morning of 9 September 1888, the mutilated body of prostitute Annie Chapman was found in the garden of #29 Hanbury Street. Like other prostitutes, Chapman regularly entertained clients there, gaining access to the garden by a door on the front of the building, usually unlocked, that provided access to a narrow passage through the building to the rear.

Chapman is generally held to have been the second victim of Jack the Ripper. In order to get a clear view of what the murder scene looked like during the Ripper's era, there is still some authentic [http://www.jacktheripper.nl/Media/Video/29hanburystreet.php film footage] available from 29 Hanbury Street's back-yard (1967).

Today, buildings with shops below and flats above can still be found on the south side of Hanbury Street, across from the murder site. But #29, which was on the north side of the street, no longer exists, having been demolished. The Old Truman Brewery was extended to cover the entire block north of Hanbury street; and since 2004 this has been the site of Sunday (Up)Market [http://www.sundayupmarket.co.uk/] .
British entertainer Bud Flanagan was born at #12 Hanbury Street in 1896.
