London's Undiscovered Edwardian Slums (Riverside Rookeries of the Poor)

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.

My nan was an Edwardian, born 1901. As children she and her 8 siblings played in the street, having no garden or any "recreation ground" nearby. But of course they left school at 14 and were apprenticed, or sent into "service", working long hours and having little time for "playing". Childhood didn't last long.

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.

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.❤

Heartwrenchingly magnificant. So sad. So modern.

Brilliant script beautifully narrated. Fascinating. Thankyou.

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.🎉

So good and so much research you have put in. Should be seen in schools. Thank you so much for another great vid.

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!"

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 .

I would love to hear boarding school stories

❤ 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
