The most famous, and the most debated is the "Goulston Street Graffito" A piece of bloodstained apron from Catherine Eddowes was found in a doorway on Goulston Street.

  Just off Mitre Street is Mitre Square. It was in this pitch black, cobbled square that Jack the Ripper managed to savagely kill and mutilate Catherine Eddowes. How he managed that in the darkness in less than 15 minutes still causes huge amounts of debate among Ripperologists.
