    Abby Road, is a historic road in respect from a music industry perspective,
    Where the very best recordings have been created by all the top musicians and artists, at Abby Road Studios in London,
    Like Maverick Sabre, Jorja Smith, Emeli Sande, Ella Eyre, JP Cooper, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Noel Gallagher and Novelist.
    To the iconic and legendary Fontaines D.C., Radiohead, Bjork, The Beatles, Slowthai, Sade, ABBA, Florence + The Machine, Krept & Konan, Johnny Marr, Yussef Dayes, Roxy Music, New Order, Marvin Gaye, Amy Winehouse and The Rolling Stones.
    Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969.
    It is the last album the group recorded, although Let It Be was the last album completed before the band's break-up in April 1970.
    It was mostly recorded in April, July, and August 1969, and reached number one in both the US and the United Kingdom.
    A double A-side single from the album, "Something" / "Come Together", was released in October, which also topped the charts in the US.

    She was talking about executions at the Tower of London, there were far earlier public executions most notably at Tyburn in 1196 and others at Smithfield, Newgate, Tower Hill and Kennington Common and many more.

    A well known trick question is "How many roads are there in the City of London? Answer:-None. They are all streets or alleys etc No roads. The City of London refers to the Square Mile around the Tower/ St Pauls/Bishopsgate area.

    To be fair, every street in London has a secret history of some kind - it's just such an old city, and seen so much human life pass through it that it's impossible to not be steeped in stories. This was a great video.

    After researching my family ancestry, one of my ancestors was Gervaise Babington. His first cousin was Anthony Babington, the last person to be hung drawn and quartered while still alive. He was tortured and ultimately executed in Lincoln Fields in London. His punishment for treason was such an attraction they didn't have room for everyone at tower hill. The Babingtons were a long line of Sheriffs of Nottingham.

    Executions were earlier in England as early as the 5th century also the fun fact the phrase 1 for the road came from was when there were executions were at tyburn they use to stop at an inn and the condemned was allowed one more drink before hanging

    At one time Londons main shopping street (Oxford Street) was on the main way to the major execution site. At what is now Marble Arch was the Tyburn tree which was a 3 sided hanging site.There were 3 uprights connected with 3 crossbeams. The tree was used to hang 3 people at once. Certainly a very public execution.

    Edgware Road and Oxford Street, right by the Marble Arch. This junction was the site of the Tyburn Gallows, otherwise known as the Tyburn Tree, where numerous criminals were publicly executed and met their gruesome end.
    During the 1570’s it was recorded that 704 prisoners lost their lives at the Tyburn Tree, for crimes ranging from murder to stealing cattle. In 1759 the structure was taken down and replaced with a gallows that could be put up and dismantled whenever needed until 1873 when the last execution at the Tree took place.

    There's an interesting story about a guy named Jack (John) Sheppard who was a young 18th century Englishman who was repeatedly imprisoned in London jails for petty crimes ( you could be hung for stealing a loaf of bread England at one point) but escaped on numerous occasions - maybe one for you to have a look at - he was nicknamed Honest John
    Also Charles Dickens father was imprisoned in a debtors prison - I think his childhood shaped his future and his writing about being poor and trying to make life better for the underdogs in society - I think there'll be some videos about debtors prisons and also the Workhouses - I absolutely love history there's so much stuff to learn
    Another interesting one is about Baby Farming in London during the Victorian era - poor parents put their babies in the care of women (Baby Farmers) until they could take care of them themselves - but one of them Amelia Hobley was killing the babies and keeping the money the parents were sending her - shocking

I’ll have to ask my mum when I see her next for more information as I was young when I was told. My aunty is in her 80’s and is terminally ill but I’m sure she will be happy to reminisce if asked by my mum when they next talk. My whole family are from the east end, poplar and Stepney to be precise.

      and sometimes when I visited my nan she would say 'We're going to see nanny Violet today' which was usually on a Saturday morning and Violet
      would give me a cake and glass of orange, she was a lovely lady. My aunt lived in Adams Garden Estate off of Brunel Road and behind the flats was St. Mary's Church
      where my mum and dad got married on Christmas Day 1951. It was that church that Jack 'The Hat' McVitie's body was dumped outside wrapped
      in an eiderdown by Chris and Tony Lambrianou and Ronny Bender. Good times.
