Brick Lane
Brick Lane, whilst not particularly significant to the murders, is a busy
thoroughfare running south from Bethnal Green Road to Whitechapel High
Street, almost parallel to Commercial Street. Brick Lane is known for its
street market, and quite possibly may have been traversed by many an East
End prostitute during the 1880s. Brick Lane in 1999 was the target of a
bomb, detonated as an act of intolerance against the races of people living
and working in the area. The same bomber also detonated bombs at Brixton
and Soho.
