Welcome to The Whitechapel Society
The Whitechapel Society is a long-established historical society, originally set up to study the murders of Jack the Ripper and to shine a light on the conditions under which the victims lived.
The Society has grown over the years to include experts in many aspects of Victorian and Edwardian East End life. Members past and present have produced some of the most respected books and papers on East End crime ever written, including Spring-heeled Jack, Jack the Ripper, the Kray twins and many more.
Next meeting
Saturday 2nd October
The Whitechapel Society is returning to live meetings at The Crutched Friar, the first being on Saturday 2nd October 2021. Members have received an email from Sue inviting them to attend the meeting in person, or register for the zoom link. Thank you to all of you who replied. If you intend being at The Crutched Friar or would like to receive the zoom link and haven’t already responded, please drop her an email.
The October edition of the Whitechapel Society journal will be with members in early October. This full colour bumper 100th edition has a Florence Maybrick theme, as October 2021 is the 80th anniversary of her death. This edition includes articles by Chris Jones, Sue Parry, Neil Watson, Steve Rattey, as well as information about the December event. If you are not already a member, join the Society before 30th September to receive this and future editions.
