Ah, London and New York in the Gilded Age: the wealthiest, the poorest; the best of times, the worst of times. Great channel! Love your content and style!

[@GazB85]

I wonder what this age will be called with it's vast wealth inequality.

[@josie_the_valkyrie]

I always enjoy the Victorian era content. Thanks for another one!

[@FactFeast]

More to come! Glad you like them.

[@Angelalivingaquietlife]

You are such a captivating narrator. You know how to really bring the stories and reports to life.

[@FactFeast]

I’m glad you like the narration. Thank you so much.

[@bobcosmic]

Yes it’s that time again when Fact Feast carries us back in time with his historical spacecraft. Thanks for the diligent work that you put in you’re appreciated

[@FactFeast]

Thanks Bob! Kind of you to say.

[@bobcosmic]

@@FactFeast No problems sir. Shared to Twitter as there are some out there that need to know about this historical platform

[@EAG46]

Thank you for telling these stories of the past. Perhaps they're not as far in the past as we like to think.

[@sarahbrackstone3374]

We still mudlark today, some amazing stuff has been found and I found a Tudor doll that's now in the British Museum

[@KinEllKokabel]

This kinda channel is precisely the reason why I stumped up for KZbin premium 📺

[@FactFeast]

Thanks! Great that you’re interested in this history.

TS 14:12 the illustration : *Christmas Goose raffled* reminds me of the *Sherlock Holmes* story: *The Blue Carbuncle* by *Conan Doyle* one of my favorites

[@nogoods3511]

You make fantastic video's... always a pleasure to watch them! thank you 👍✨🌻

[@FactFeast]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@GreenHeet]

I enjoy your videos.

[@FactFeast]

I appreciate that! Thank you.

[@Charlotte66666]

Fantastic historical content 😊😊

[@FactFeast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaeldillon3113]

Another great documentary. Thanks.

[@FactFeast]

You’re welcome 😊

[@mijiyoon5575]

Highly interesting, I did not know they had inquest fees ... served a worthy purpose for the missing & deceased if they had a family

[@Lysability]

My step dad loves a’bit of mud larking. Instead of gravel in my mum’s garden they have untold amounts of Victorian clay pipes.😂xXx😂

[@timothy2935]

Lol wait like, tobacco pipes right? Haha

[@HistoCaseYT]

Fantastic content....

[@FactFeast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KC-gy5xw]

Mudlarking is so much different today! You need to be licensed and finds need to be recorded.

[@manuellubian5709]

By WHO? R U kidding? Do you know that if we started charging people, fining or arresting people because they picked up items from a riverbed or from the ocean ..... do you know you would get laughed out of existence in my country. There's no such thing where I am from. Why does the UK government care what you found on the edge of a river bank much less in any of its rivers? It makes no sense.

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

When I grow up, im gonna be a mudlark. Im 46, but I have dreams.

[@vicvega3614]

I wanna be a mudshark..... wait no idk

[@nosillalaluna7078]

I too aspire to become a Mudlarker ,when grown up ! I'm 65 So ,I still have some time . heeheehahahoho😊

[@nosillalaluna7078]

Or is it a mudslinger ... Now I'm confused ,maybe. ​@@vicvega3614

[@condorcondor5797]

awesome....i like mudlarkers

[@mamasinger49]

The things people had to do to survive, yikes! Great content and as always loving you wonderful voice.

[@FactFeast]

Yes, the Victorians had some horrible jobs! I have videos on mudlarks and toshers (sewer hunters) as well if you're interested.

[@mamasinger49]

@@FactFeast Yes, would like to see those.

[@MegaLivingIt]

Eating fish out of the Thames, yuck!🤮

[@GreenHeet]

In a city that old you can find a corpse from a thousand years ago!

[@Cspspack]

Considering the Thames was London’s sewer, this is a pretty gross occupation.

[@GazB85]

Our river's still are our sewers. Just look at all the news stories about effluent going in to the rivers and sea after a large rainfall.

[@SiiriCressey]

21:45 What kind of fishes are in the front right basket, the one opposite the one with the lantern?

[@Baz-Ten]

It's a great picture - looks surely like Thornback Ray & some mackerel

[@shahjhanhaider26]

River Thames is still having treasures at it's bottom,but in Victorian times the dredgers had been day and night in search of some thing value able to get Thier livelihood It was a hard work ,the boats were sailing to find out something ,these dredgers had got sometimes value able and some time trinkets.Might be these dregs have come from a sunken ship,there could have been shipwreck,or ship looted by pirates,they would have thrown the body overboard,and after long time dredgers would have come across these bodies for inquest and they have got good amount of shillings. It's beautiful video

[@traceyMustafa]

Wonderfull content, so interesting ty.

[@FactFeast]

Fantastic!

The richest empire in the world people were lured the rural settings to urban hell.

[@albertjack4050]

09:00 - Jesus famously preached from Peter's fishing boat.....

[@patricialong5767]

Mudlarks, they called them. They do this in India. There are videos on You Tube showing that very subject. And on it goes.

[@manuellubian5709]

The one drawback of his very seminal work from what I understand is all of the hundreds of people that he interviewed not once did he ever get anyone's LAST names. Am I correct? Is that correct or do I have that fact wrong. (American teacher here. I was just wondering this.

Mud larks I'm one but the mud of the past has turned into powders from far off places

[@kevinnelson8628]

Should be required viewing for every millennial on down who loves to whip out the statement “ things are harder now than they ever have been!”

[@lisaslimm]

Definitely I agree we don’t know how good we have got it these days

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

So, let me get this right. Because we have it better than over a hundred and 24 years ago, no one can complain? 😂😂 If it wasn't for people complaining, and fighting for more, it would be still like this. Although inequality still exists today.

[@deborahstollman6238]

YUCK!! 🤢
