Stepney, Tower Hamlets, England
Prescott Street, Stepney
Hanbury Street
On 8th September 1888, the body of Annie Chapman was found in the backyard of No.29 Hanbury Street. Chapman is generally held to have been the second victim of Jack the Ripper. 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 No.29, which was on the north side of the street, no longer exists, having been demolished.
It is reputed to be haunted by the apparition of poor Annie Chapman.
