After a public hanging the rope was often sold in sections to the people watching, this is where the phrase “money for old rope” comes from.
Interesting. Thanks for adding your knowledge, Joanne.
Would you believe it 👏as they say every day is an education 👍
That's incorrect the saying comes from
To make money from old rope comes from the practice of picking apart old ropes to create oakum (a fibrous material used with hot pitch for caulking seams in old-time sailing vessels). It was a chore performed by women and children in Victorian workhouses or by sailors when their ships were docked.
One of my favourite parts of London - it was the driver of the wagon who didn't drink - he was on the wagon. The wagon had an official name, the Lurch - left in the lurch. Tyburn Road connected Tyburn Execution Ground to Newgate Prison, now Oxford Street, New Oxford Street etc all the way to what is now the Old Bailey. Love London history, great video as always x

Greatest city on earth !
It is said that the head of Cromwell was retrieved by his daughters, the body was left in a ditch. Both daughters are buried, below ground level in a crypt in St Nicolas Church Chiswick, close to the River Thames. In the late 1880`s the Church was being renovated and an additional coffin was found with no name. The vicar fearing that it held the head of Cromwell, bricked up the entry point and further sealed it, not wanting it to become a visit for tourist or attended by anti Cromwell factions . Its still sealed to this day . This Church is where I was christened, and grew up with this information.
That’s amazing
@Robert Rouse......'Oliver's head/Daughters'.......They were thinking of their inheritance....hahahahahahahahaha ✍🏿
WOW amazing story 👍
You certainly put a vision in my mind of hundreds of years ago when a public excercution was treated as a grand day out, very interesting and gruesome, I love the medieval history times of your stories👌☠️👻
We still have another one in this series to publish.
I could easily spend a whole week walking around London with this lady……she’s amazing! So full of knowledge and super charismatic. She should have her own slot on tv!
We couldn't agree more! Have you watched her Highgate Cemetery video yet? ruclips.net/video/hxdTCHMntJg/видео.html&lc=Ugxe27DlpNx8UrpNn9B4AaABAg
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Yeah! Another fantastically addictive video. She’s brilliant! Thank you ❤️
Love your tours of Catholic London--keep them coming.
Hi Sinead, the term Hungover was also taken from when the lowest form of accommodation in Victorian England was access to bend over a rope for the night at the price of a penny. Usually used by drunken sailors who had spent all their money drinking, It's said to be the origin of the term 'hungover. '"
Hi Danny
Have heard this too , I believe they referred to them as hangers on as well
The etymology of the Language is fascinating
Thank you for watching
Sinead
I hope Sinead will continue posting Tours by Foot of London. She's full of interesting information. I love her tours. I don't know when I'll be able to visit London. Keep up the great work.
She will. Thanks again for watching, Lyne.
Another great tour! I really appreciate that Sinead takes some of her time to share with us some histories of London ❤
Maria and I appreciate your time and comments

What a fantastic channel i've stumbled upon, this is RUclips at it's best. I found Free Tours by foot last week & i'm hooked, the last few days i've enjoyed nothing more than getting home from work & listening to Sinead's comforting narration as i join her on walks around the city i was born & grew up in, also learning new & interesting facts in the process. Seeing as i'm new around here i've got a backlog of walking tours to catch up on i'm just about to join you on your night time walk along the southbank see you in a couple of mins LOL. All the best to you Sinead & thank you for this brilliant channel.

We have a few small museums on our radar. Some we simply aren't allowed to film in and others we need to wait for permission.
Had the absolute pleasure of meeting Sinead by chance at The Crypt café today. Recognised her voice before I looked around and saw her face. Had a lovely chat. Keep up the good work Sinead! Looking forward to seeing many more videos! Linda.

Hi Sinead
Thanks so much for all your wonderful videos. I am from Australia, and can't wait to be able to travel again.
I have some ideas for your walks...the gates of London (Aldgate, Ludgate etc)
The locations of now gone stately buildings like the Savoy Palace (under the Savoy Hotel), Devonshire House, Scotland Yard (built on an old palace), Richmond Palce etc,
Love your work. Take care.
Another great tour Sinead 👍

Facinating , I reall enjoy learning the origins of well known sayings & there are some good ones mentioned here .
My husband has a great knowledge of history ( an ex Cold Streamer so often on guard at some of the sites on other tours on this channel ) thourghly enjoyed this .
Thank you so mch for sharing , especially in this crazy time whilst travel is not an option to many of us, especially those of us living away from UK .
So glad we are able to bring you some history and entertainment during this strange new time!
Very gruesome! But fascinating history, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I feel like I’m learning more than all my history classes with your videos. I vote yes for filming up the controversial hill 🌳
Stay tuned!

Enjoy :).
Another fantastic tour. Light years ahead of any other. Although Jools is very good too. Different. That tower with the grassy side? I like it a lot better than the giant obnoxious ferris wheel. A lot easier to take down too when the thrill is gone.

Thank you madam
Welcome to the channel, Alan! We are glad you found us :)
I absolutely love your walks. I do a lot of walking with my daughter and my sister around London. So now I sound like a history guide after watching your videos. Don't worry they know it's all from your videos as I share them.
The marble arch mound, yes I've been up it. They scrapped the fee and you were allowed up, up until September, now you have to pay again, so I've heard. I hate heights. The mound doesn't look so high, well I didn't think so. And whatever people think, it's a part of history, so up I went. It's high. It's really high. I came down in the lift. It's like walking on basic scaffolding. That's what you're doing. You may like the views. I took a couple of photos. When I was brave enough. I didn't like it. It felt too fragile and its those stairs where you can see the ground between the steps. So being so high up and seeing that, turned my stomach.. But do I think you should go up, yes. It's nice to read about history but if you get the chance, take part in that history too.
Thanks, Michele. I think we will do a Mound video. So far, looks like a go. Thanks for commenting.
And thanks for passing on our tidbits to your family! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Those hanging sites where ever where in London. Wow and me a londoner and didn't no much about this at all. Thank you . ❤️
In the mid to late 19th century America, there were public hangings which drew crowds, and many people showed up by train for the morbid entertainment.
On May 4th 1535 the first 4 catholic martyrs were killed at Tyburn Tree. Today's the anniversary. 1 of them was the superior of the Carthusian monastery in London. Please visit that place (the Charterhouse). Greetings from Argentina! (I considered the idea of becoming a Carthusian monk some years ago btw)

I always love Free tours by foot vids. I would just to like to add, to make it clear as im sure you know that the Tyburn Tree was not an actual tree, but rather a triangular-shaped gallows structure made of iron, used for public executions. The name "Tyburn" is derived from the Old English word "teoburna", which means "boundary stream", as it was originally a small stream that marked the boundary of the ancient parish of Marylebone.
We always love the extra info :)
The Shining Sinead back, you look so beautiful today as London - UK ...... Good info you mentioned
I'm going to teach my students about the possible origin of the word "hangover". Thank you! 😎
Excellent!

Gr8 tour as usual Sinead but what a horrible thing to watch break a leg .now know where those saying came from
Very Interesting video. I was wondering where the church was.
7:01 sad to see those old school telephone boxes looking abandoned.

I would not have liked to be the guest of honour at the execution? Scary times! Lol interesting to hear that the hangover may have derived from this. Blessings Luv Ontario Canada stay safe.🐝
Thanks a million
Love your walking tours. The Marble Arch Mound is simply awful! I lived in London many years ago and before you explained the mound I was completely confused. I understand it is temporary? Thanks!
Hi Janet
It is temporary and apparently courting much controversy amongst Londoners
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Yes, so much controversy, we have no choice but do do a short video climb of it :).
Of course make a film of the mound! :) BTW aren't there any boxes to stand on at Speaker's Corner?
Usually on Sunday mornings but it hasn’t been running yet, as far as I know
Excellent again Sinead. I was at Marble Arch on Saturday and saw the mound. I don't like it. It takes away from the splendour of the Marble Arch itself, which I feel needs to be seen in isolation for best effect. A real shame.
I agree.
£4 to walk up some steps not worth it.
playing catch up again... Once again another good one. Also could you or someone that might see this explain the street name signs please? Like at timestamp 7:10 it says Bayswater Road W2. What does the W2 indicate?
The W stands for Westminster and the number is the area within Westminster.
Yes please. A tour of the mound
Stay tuned, Annette.
Hi sinead just wondered if you can show some museums in the near future i know it isn't free for you but i think you will have more subscribers
what do you think ?🤷♂️
It's a wonderful idea. The issue is some museums, particularly galleries, won't allow filming. We have a few ideas.
good video
WOW !!! What has happened to my city ? Why is it soooo dirty ? Don’t they clean it anymore ?
Something dark from London to watch later 👍🏻
Let us know what you think when you are finished watching.
I'd love to do a paranormal investigation at this spot, and would want to hug a ghost of someone who died for an apple. I can't imagine how life was for folks back then.
A paranormal investigation would be very interesting!
very enjoyable

I would love for you to make one thanks
Noted.
Very informative video, thank you. You would like to think that the religious prejudice and hatred that led to some of the hangings you describe was history, but it still continues to this day. I was raised into the C of E but now have no faith, I have never been able to understand why two people who worship the same God wish to kill each other because they worship that same God in two different ways. Human nature I suppose, maybe one day eh?

I work in three museums in Yorkshire all about crime and punishment.we didnt use hanging where i live, they were sent to York, but some of the stories are heartbreaking. A child of 7 transported to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread
Heartbreaking
I wonder how many of my ancestors got the drop. We have been known to be "rough and dirty at night".
