Hanbury Street

Part of Hanbury Street as it looked at the time of Jack the Rippers. In the center of the picture is 29 Hansbury Street, in whose back yard Annie Chapman was found. Today there is a former brewery in the same place.

Hanbury Street is a street in the Spitalfields borough of London that extends east of Commercial Street . Originally the 17th century street was called Browne's Lane.

The street gained notoriety on September 8, 1888 when the body of Annie Chapman was found in the back yard of house number 29 at 6 a.m. She is considered the second victim of the suspected series of murders by Jack the Ripper . Today, Hanbury Street is primarily used as a residential and commercial street. The house number 29 is no longer preserved, in its place there is now a parking garage.
