London's Undiscovered Edwardian Slums (Riverside Rookeries of the Poor)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Visitors rarely went to Edwardian London's riverside slums where the working class lived. It was considered 'over there,' distant from the politics and business of the West End and East End. This is the story of how people lived and worked on the other side of the River Thames in an account from the capital in the early 1900s.

Since time immemorial, asking a cabbie in North London, to take you South of the river. Will be received, with a suck of the teeth, and the cry "Can't go South of The River this time of night, mate!"
You can't really blame them, they would hardly ever get a fare back so would lose money on the trip, whereas during the same time as that journey would take, they could have several more local fares and make more money.
London bridge is in my city now, Thankies big sis❤
❤ funny that people are sleeping on the streets now and we think the Victorian times were bad I wonder how they're going to look how I'm back on the 21st century
All that hell, and now look at England! Be done with the government! Be done!
I still cannot work it out ...East End ...my family way back come from it ...2 steps away ...West End ! ...still today ..baffles me ..Queen Victoria only after Ripper case ..got proper lighting street lamps ...Old east End people were salt of the earth ..hard as nails ..but with a huge heart ...that is guts ..Remember my aunties from the East End way back ...tough ..funny ..yes Bonkers ...and I loved them as a kid ....they liked me too ...they made me laugh ..humour ....real tough ...and funny. real Cockney gone ....even I moved from London ....its Done ..over ...because of its people ...gone.
One can say "gone", but this is how things are: they change all the time.
Life just goes round in a circle life now is going back that way. Lawlessness, homelessness but worse now with broken families and neighbourhoods. No one looks out for anyone anymore.😢
Is it so feral that cabbies won’t go there for money oh my Lord.
@@CarolLeslie-x5n because in multicultures there is no community cohesion, only poverty, crime and every dog for himself.
I love British history and you have interesting facts❤
Great! I’m happy you found it of interest. Thank you.
I would love to hear boarding school stories
How very saucy
You really wouldn't. They've improved, a lot. But the British upper classes are weird, they pack there kids off, at age seven to be brought up by other people. You can imagine the kind of abuses that went on, they had all the problems with that have reared their ugly heads in other institutions, around the world.
I love this series and the narrator! Thank you so much!!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for being here.
This is most poetic. Here in United States, if it's old, it's gone. I appreciate so much, all I have been given. Thank you for this. I will show my children.❤
You are very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Heartwrenchingly magnificant. So sad. So modern.
The narrator's accent and intonation is lovely to listen to and the emphasis appropriate to the subject matter. Is the narrator a professional actor I wonder.
Thank you very much. It’s nice that you enjoy listening to the narration.
Brilliant script beautifully narrated. Fascinating. Thankyou.
Many thanks! Glad you found the history interesting.
My family are all from Southwark, my parents we married at The Cathedral.
Both born during WW1.
My father grew up in Cherry Garden Street(which was anything but). Mum on Jamaica Rd.
Wow" I lived there. Pop around for a cup of tea wink wink. I'm up in Shoreditch now. Have a nice day!

I can't stand cats. Gator bait
This is your best video yet. Especially liked the interior scenes of tiny apartments and considering they had no counter space or closets to speak of, they did pretty well. Loved the ceramic brick fireplace too. Thank you.🎉
Thank you very much MegaLivingIt. I’m happy you found this trip to Edwardian London interesting.
Yes! More Edwardian please. 🧡💛💚💙💜
Hope to do more in future. Thank you!
nowadays the closer to the water, the more expensive it gets
Last and most important part of my research article I read titled late Victorian and Edwardian slum conservatism how differ were politics of London poor . Henry peling established model for describing politics of late Victorian and Edwardian London working class in his 1960 s study of elections in his period . He said city there was little heavy industry in metropolitan area , large factories were rare . Working class was divided more sharply than elsewhere, into skilled artisans and comparatively, unskilled depressed and often casual workers to be found generally in east London, so far working class conservatism is concerned, anti alien sentiments of those living in area of alien ( Jewish ) immigrants led to long periods of conservative voting of their part . Independent labour movement so weak in London . I hope you like my research sir . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information and improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
Thank you very much Khatoon.
Thanks again @FactFeast
You're welcome Bob! Thanks for watching.
Always happy to hear this fabulous narrator
@FactFeast you're my Sunday asmr
4:29 Admittedly my knowledge of the British Monarchy is limited so my dates might be wrong. To the best of my recollection Edward VII reigned from 1901 until his death in 1910 but as far as I can remember the Edwardian era lasted until after WWI, until 1919. Why didn’t it end with his death? Did the First World War have anything to do with it? I can’t image why since it didn’t start until 1914!? I’ve alway been curious why the Edwardian era did not end with his death, the Victorian era ended when Queen Victoria died, did it have anything to do with his short time as monarch? I sure would love to know, I don’t like being ignorant of facts.
PS, love your channel, always look forward to your uploads and watch as soon a time permits. I always learn something new!
The Edwardian period is generally considered to have ended at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Officially it really ended in 1910.

Thank you very much Miji 😊
The funny thing is the brick houses look attractive in themselves from the outside and are solidly built it seems but not well maintained by landlords. They just don't have the facilities and space to make life comfortable and the inhabitants don't have the money to live comfortably and well and the rooms are overcrowded and insanitary. Unemployment would be high and work lowly paid. Education would be basic or non existent.
I could listen you and your historic stories all day. Love your channel! You would have made a great reformer and possible Socialist.
Thank you so much for your support. I'm glad you're interested in social history.
S 'cuse the pun but,' this never gets old. Some amazing pictures too, love the one of the rooftops and chimneys ❤️👍
So good and so much research you have put in. Should be seen in schools. Thank you so much for another great vid.
You’re welcome mamasinger and thank you for your support 😊
I am an american who is so intrigued by british history
Great! Lots more like this on my channel.
@@FactFeast sweet
Although I certainly feel sad about all the unnecessary God-awful lives of the poor, it also makes me angry to think about bear baiting shows in that hell hole of a city. More evil on top of having so many babies in this terrible situation.🌿
here it’s
As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s facts about slums of London during queen victoria reign were numerous slums lurked behind capital busy through cares . Vicious and overcrowded hovels were sandwiched in between mill and road and commercial road in Stephney , wretched rookeries lay behind drury lane and , filthy tenements lined west side of borough high street . Famous London slums such as st Gilles slum , old Nichol street rookery in east end of London. Worst slum in London is Jacob slums arose initially as result of rapid population growth and industrialization. Demolition programs through 20 th century in removing London slums created during 1930s . Facts about London slums are victorian slums lords of slums victorian authorities were very happy to hand over problem of social housing to private landlords. Thieves kitchen slumlords most lucrative investment were registerd common lodging houses so named because they had to be registered with police. Henry mayhew a journalist who wrote series of articles about London poverty stricken inhabitants during early years of queen victoria region. One of most influential programs was Charles booth poverty survey which looked at every street in London ( expect those in city ) color coded them on map . The survey began in 1886 and took booth and his assistants 17 years to complete. Today this survey is fascinating document can be viewed on line .
Was this written in Victorian times or today? The language sounds old fashioned
It’s Edwardian, but still well over 100 years ago.
Thx FF

You’re welcome firecracker! I hope you liked this long trip south of the river.
Thank you! Very interesting.
You’re welcome. Glad you’re interested in this side of Edwardian history.
"Home to millions of people " yeah....me too😂. I love your work.
Nice! Thank you very much.
London's famous 'black' cabs will not go south of the river if they can possibly help it. If they must go there they return to the perceived safety of the north as fast as they can.
Stop talking rubbish😂😂😂
What nonsense

Your comment is about 50 years out of date...
It hasn't changed much
LOVE the narration! Thank you for the show!
Thanks for listening!
I love this channel
I can just about remember such houses in the 1950s.
Don'ycha know, coal was stored in the bath?
wow, brillant
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching.
Great narration and images!
Glad you like them!
😮
what's 200 weight of coal?
a hundredweight (CWT), is equal to 112 pounds (lb) or a twentieth of a ton (2240 lbs). so, 200 weight of coal is 224 lb
Two Hundredweight (CWT)
About 70 kg is one hundredweight.
That's very heavy for one person to lift and carry.
I used to carry a big 20kg block of cheese when I worked in a delicatessen, and I lugged a 10L can of house paint from the car to inside my house once.
I couldn't lift 70kg of coal -- it's more than I weigh.
@@caroliner2029 you are way off the mark I'm afraid. one hundredweight is equivalent to approx 51 kg. 2.2 lbs= 1 kg
i have to laugh that i do a lot of this today
What they call slums now was then a deal better than the current housing and streets in many countries such as east of Suez and India. Their clothing also was a deal better also!
India isn't a 1st world country and has a population of 1.8 billion
All that stolen wealth and people were still living in filth.
Ridiculous comment.
Thank God for the Chinese, who make ALL our luxuries !
Noooooo! I used to work down by Stork's Rd in bermondsey!?!?!😮
HAS ANYTHING CHANGED? BETTER OR WORST?
This is something that really strikes me. In France and Switzerland for instance, there are a lot of antique wardrobes, because there were a lot of wardrobes in the past. It seems that the Brits of the past did not have wardrobes, because antique shops hardly have any that date earlier than the 1940s. Please educate me if this is not the case, but I feel that wardrobes were not as ubiquitous as in other countries.
There are plenty of old/antique wardrobes in the UK, mainly hand made ones as only the rich could afford them. The people of the East End would rarely have had one, but the working class of other area's would all have used them, not as well made or as ornate as the wealthier people had, so would not have lasted so long or been worth keeping, but there are still plenty around in second hand and antique shops.
If it's "undiscovered" how come it's on here?
Hahaha 😂😅

You should be grateful for any accommodation. particularly in London. And £2k per month is small beer.
Love Jacob Rees-Mogg.
And these are the glorious times Farage and the tories want to take us back to.
