Bucks Row
Buck's Row
Charles Cross and Robert Paul were the first people to see Mary Ann Nichols' body laying on the pavement in Buck's Row.
It was 3.40am on Friday 31st August 1888, when Mary Ann Nichols body was found lying on the pavement in Buck's Row.
In Baker’s Row, at the junction of Hanbury and Old Montague Street, they met PC Mizen 55H and told him of their discovery.
PC John Neil 97J had also discovered the body of Mary Ann Nichols. The body hadn't been there when PC Neil had patrolled 30 minutes earlier.
Nichols was lying outside the gate to Mr Brown’s stables, her head towards the east, her left hand touching the gate. Her hands, which were open, lay by her sides and her legs were extended and a little apart. Blood oozed out of the wounds in her throat. A black straw bonnet trimmed with black velvet was by her side.
