Its the Cross Bones Graveyard which was originally an unconsecrated graveyard where prostitutes were buried. Its a memorial to them not just the Jack the Ripper victims. Presumably the scarf is in memory of a more recent death.Apparently, just on the south side of Southwark bridge there is a memorial to all the sex workers who died during the jack the ripper era, and someone has hung up an Orient scarf there.
What a bizarre thing to do, although we can be a bit eccentric over in Brisbane road..

Talking of Hawksmoor.
One dark and wintry night back in February I was drinking in The Ten Bells on Commercial Street in London, which is hard by Christ Church Spitalfields. The road directly in front of the church was being dug up and the road-gangs lights were swaying about in the wind and casting all sorts of mad and restless shadows over the area.
Now, I thought, there's the start of a movie right there.
