In what street did "Polly" (one of Jack the Ripper's victims) live in a single room? Don't want to give the game away to everyone but I've 2 possibilities. Cryptically, should I be "enthralled" with this street, or have a "floury 'and?" Or, neither.
Many thanks to everyone who is about to help and put me out of my Monday morning misery.

Think it might be 13 Miller's Court

Ciao, Bea :-)
I may be wrong, but I think your other possibility is correct. Mary Kelly lived at Miller Street, but Mary Nicholls (Polly) lived at your other suggestion. Angusbjorn
I don't think Dek's second suggestion was referring to Miller's Court but to F----r and D--n Street. Apparently 'Polly' occupied lodgings at this address in her final days. However, by most accounts, �Don�t let my doss, I�ll soon be back with the money�, or something similar, was said as she left the lodgings at Dek's first suggestion for the last time.

I f you google carefully I think you'll find that Polly was sharing a room in Thrawl Street on the night she was murdered. She had gone out to earn doss money with her new bonnet.
Spitalfields Market. Good luck!

Many thanks to each and all respondents. I have learned not to use quotation marks when posting a question! I managed earlier today to find the answer - Thrawl Street. Another very recent answer has confirmed this. I can now rest easy.
You have a good day.
