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.

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.

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 .

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 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.

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 .

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.
@janetpendlebury6808
@janetpendlebury6808 2 ай бұрын
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.
