In August 1888, Londons East End was in turmoil. A series of murders were taking place. These murders were all within a mile area of each other and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. Committed by who? By none other than Jack the Ripper. Who was he? Many books have been written purportedly identifying him. Which one is correct? Maybe we'll never know. Perhaps the answer lies in Stephen P Ryders site.

They have a postcards section on which you can post questions on whatever country you wish to travel or method of travel from point "A" to point "B". There is always someone whose "been there, done that" that will give you those valuable and useful travel hints.
