This is on Goulston Street, where Jack the Ripper left a piece of torn apron after the Catherine Eddowes murder in Mitre Square.
It was in this doorway (where the "takeaway" is) that the apron was left underneath some anti-semetic graffiti which was controversially erased before it could be photographed (fearing it could start anti-semetic riots).
Its a hard situation for me to judge, as there were anti-semetic tensions earlier with the "Leather Apron" scare so I can understand that.

Thought to have been built in the seventeenth century. The meeting was discontinued in 1764. Sold in 1807 as a schoolhouse it subsequently became the schoolmistress's dwelling. The porch was added in 1982. The dormer widow is a recent addition.
One for fellow Flickrite, Moxette , who has a keen interest in finding and photographing unusual houses .
An odd looking property in Clive Street, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent that looks very 1920’s to my eye. I don't know if it was originally intended to be like this, or whether it is a metamorphosise of the original house? Either way, it is certainly very different from the norm.

Primitive dwellings, at least as old as the Bronze Age, perhaps Villanovan and then later Etruscan. These primitive caves (Hypogeum) were dug out of the tufa stone. Originally, the entrances were just holes, still visible, punched into the cliffs. The inhabitants reached their shelters by lowering ropes or some kind of ladder. They were obviously very concerned with their safety; these homes would have been practically invisible. At some point, however, they begin opening the caves on the forest side; they begin to fit the new openings with doors and build steps to make the dwellings more accessible. Some of the dwellings show considerable effort to create a food preparation area complete with a system of drainage.
The hypogeum shown here has a carefully carved door, which probably points to a later date than some of the completely hidden structures mentioned above.

Koroit Commercial Road Conservation Area

Identifier: 15046
Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit
Local
Government: Moyne Shire
State: VIC
Country: Australia
Statement of
Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).
Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.

There are 1.3 million people living in poverty in Hong Kong. Over 100,000 these live in subdivided flats in "cage dwellings" or cubicle homes. The residents are the single elderly, new immigrants, low income families and people with mental and physical disabilities - the most vulnerable and needy groups in society. In April 2010, the AWA (American Women's Association, together with HKIS delivered donations of food and toiletries to the residents of this type of accommodation.

The patas monkey is a ground-dwelling monkey distributed over semi-arid areas of West Africa, and into East Africa. The patas monkey grows to 33 in in length, excluding the tail, which measures 30 in. Adult males are considerably larger than adult females. Reaching speeds of 34 mph, it is the fastest runner among the primates.
The patas monkey lives in multi-female groups of up to 60 individuals (although much larger aggregations have been reported).
