24th Aug 1888 - Polly Nichols

A young-looking 43, Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols is 5'2" tall, has brown eyes and a dark complexion. Her hair is brown but greying. Polly has delicate features & high cheekbones. She's clean and keeps to herself. She's been moving between Workhouses of late. Today Polly Nichols moved to a doss house known as the White House at 56 Flower & Dean St. Men are allowed to share with women. Polly's husband stopped supporting her when he found she was a prostitute. She has not seen him in 3 yrs & continues her trade.

For now we leave Polly in her new lodgings. She'll go out on the streets most nights this week looking for business.
