View of the Gherkin and Cheese Grater from Durward Street
Durward Street (then called Buck's Row) was the site of the first Jack the Ripper murder, Mary Ann Nicholls. The bridge over the London Overground further down the road behind the camera is just about where the murder occurred. However, it would have been hard to photograph due to the Crossrail work going on at Whitechapel station. Looking south-southwest.

Vallance Gardens, Whitechapel
Henrietta Barnett and her husband, Samuel, moved to Whitechapel in 1872 when Samuel became the vicar of St Jude's Church. Henrietta sought to provide parks for children living in cramped Whitechapel tenements, hoping to remove them from the area's overcrowded streets where crime and violence were rife. She transformed a disused Quaker's Burial Ground, established in 1687, into Baker's Row Park for the children. The new park was opened in 1880.
In 1896, Baker's Row was renamed Vallance Road in honour of Mr W. Vallance, the Clerk to the Metropolitan Board of Guardians. The park then became Vallance Road Recreation Ground.
