St. Botolph's Church
Above: St. Botolph's Church, on Aldgate High Street. This church was
known as the prostitutes' church, because the ladies would walk around
it in order to attract clients (it was against the law to stand in one
place and solicit). It was in this area that Catherine Eddowes was
seen drunk the night of her murder. Photograph courtesy of Mr. John
