Hearted Youtube comments on Fact Feast (@FactFeast) channel.

  1. My gran, born 1892, never went to school, and went into 'service' as soon as she was old enough. In her 80 years she never owned a telephone, a bicycle, a car, a fridge, a sewing machine, a plumbed-in bath, a vacuum cleaner, an inside loo, hot water on tap, or a washing machine. I never remember her wearing a watch. She managed everything by hand. I'm sure she was just one of millions of woman of the time... I lived with her in my formative years, and couldn't imagine life without her. She was the kindest most loving woman imaginable. She'd give me her last sixpence. I was born on her own feather bed in 1947....

  2. My 4x great-grandfather was held on a hulk before being transported to Australia. He was only 12 and had stolen a snuff box 😢.

  3. There’s a romantic feeling with the Victorian era, even with the drawings of the times. It’s when you see a true photograph do you realize how far reality was from what we project. This is a fantastic channel.
    903
  4. These are the people that Charles Dickens wrote about...to enlighten people of the day to the realities of the plight of the poor. There were many philanthropists who did much to help the poor, many were Quakers.

  5. That scathing review on society from the account of the penny sit up had me stop everything else and still for a while. It was, and still is, sobering and thought provoking. Thank you for not trying to hide the 'unpleassant' side of things--ignorance is not bliss.

  6. I was homeless for the past 3 years. Finallu got off the street 5 months ago. It's terrible. I had to pretend I had a drinking problem so I could get into a rehab to get off the street and then a sober living home til I could save for an apartment. There was no resources unless you were a addicted. Which I guess is good but most of them don't want to use the opportunities that are out there.

  7. Again, what’s most appalling is because Britain was the most wealthy powerful nation on Earth. A small percentage of Brits lived their lives surrounded of unimaginable luxuries and the majority of the population lived in abject poverty and misery! That’s what sad me and angry me 😢😖😖😖
    445
  8. I was homeless for most of 8 year's, this story reminds me of what I saw and heard as a homeless person, except the illness and the children, how the discription was made of how the nurse dressed the little dead girl broke my heart. What bothers me mostly this type of poverty and sickness still goes on all over the world, in slums and war torn areas of the world. Let's do what we can to make the world a better place.

  9. Doing my family history, I’ve recently found that some of my predecessors lived in this street in Victorian times. My relatives appear to have lived in the poorest parts of East London, and just about anywhere else that I’ve found them. What a struggle it must have been.

  10. I lived in the slums of Dallas. I remember my mama used to scrub the bathtub before we took our baths. There were 4 families Sharing one tub. I remember having a toilet in our apartment. My parents worked very hard and we moved into a real house in the suburbs Of Dallas that we owned. All my life I remembered I was always clean, always had good shoes and clothes. Mama and Daddy always gave us Christmas presents and birthdays too. As the years went by, I got braces on my teeth! They sent my brother to college and me as well. They would work 2 jobs sometimes. Sadly my Mama died at 58 and Daddy at 67. I wish I would have told them how I appreciated what they did for us. 😢 ❤

  11. I grew up in a slum in London, to a single mum. She sent me out with a can to get esso oil for the oil fire, and to the launderette with my sister to wash the bedding. It was in the 60s. I went to hospital every Winter with asthma and bronchitis.In the Spring the housemice ran riot, sometimes over my bed at night. Despite this, I went to University, did Nursing, and trained as an aromatherapist. I raised a son on my own But, my childhood still haunts me, and Ive never had good health.
    348
  12. Unimaginable deprivations and cruelties these poor souls suffered through no fault of their own... Thank you for this channel, it's hugely informative and interesting.
    333
  13. What a severely depressing existence.
    331
  14. I suffer from PTSD/anxiety & depression & I often feel sorry for myself.... Watching videos like this makes me think twice.!
    330
  15. I like how this video touches on the fact that damage from malnutrition in childhood can't be undone even ppl now don't understand how dangerous not having enough food is for children they are damaged forever
    301
  16. It’s hearing stuff like this that makes me feel so grateful I have a full belly, a beautiful home and a soft, cozy bed while my ancestors who actually lived in Dalston in the East End had to live like this. I love your narration, you sound a lot like the author of Redwall, Brian Jacques
    294
  17. With all the wealth the Crown has had, how could they let this happen to vulnerable citizens? 😪
    288
  18. My paternal great grand parents lived in the East End of London in areas such as Whitechapel, Shadwell, St George in the East, Mile End..They were Dockers, Carters, Stokers, Laundresses…. during this time. I’m very proud that regardless how very poor they were, they fought to survive and better their lives as each generation worked for a better life for their children.
    274
  19. That man was so riveting that I didn’t even realize I was staring at one still image the whole time.
    273
  20. I have to say that you have one of the best history programs in early Britain. Being from the States and a historian I enjoy these programs. In 2013 I retired from work and planned to travel to Britain and other countries in Europe, but it was meant not to be I have MS and had a major relapse which has put me down since.. Because of YouTube, I have been able to continue studying my topics of interest. Keep up this good work
    234
  21. The British also used prison ships in Brooklyn during the American Revolution. Most people don’t know about them but conditions were appalling and many died.
    224
  22. According to the 1891 census, there was a young servant living in my (very modest) Victorian terraced house. She must have slept in the kitchen. given the size of the family that was living here at the time. She was 14 at the time of the census. I often think about her and the amount of work she had to do. there are 5 fireplaces plus a kitchen range to deal with, for starters. Thank you for this very informative video.
    212
  23. My family came here from Bohemia in 1893. I have their records entering the country. My great great grandpa snuck aboard a ship under his wife’s hoop skirt so they only paid one fare. They left because he kept being conscripted into the army for the never ending wars. They made their way to Kansas and Missouri and became farmers.
    212
  24. When I was a kid the story of the match girl made me tear up. Now I'm a grown man and I still tear up. I actually have a painting of her hanging in my entertainment room as a reminder to be grateful for what I have. Thanks for the vid as always great stuff!
    202
  25. Alone and on the streets, one very cold night, I fell asleep at the doors of a church; I was only awoken by a good samaritan, who left his car to place a warm blanket around me. He turned round and again left so quickly, I hadn't the chance to even say 'thank you'. I'll never forget that.
    199
  26. For anyone interested in this topic, Jack London's book The People of the Abyss is a must read. London immersed himself into the impoverished east end, known as the Whitechapel district, for a short time. He took nothing with, especially money. He tried to live under the same conditions that was typical of the east end. When his time in the Abyss was over, his view of the human condition was greatly changed.
    195
  27. I can remember 6-7 year old children, bared legged without shoes, smoking cigs, playing in Mancunian slum streets in the early 1960's. It was seriously deprived even then. Anyway, Sunday night it a good night. Primary sources of history beautifully presented in this rich narrative style. I wish more people watched and listened to your channel. They'd learn a lot they've never known about social history and bring some inner peace to the world.
    191
  28. That's beyond sad. In Australia a crawler is someone who is an ingratiating flatterer, brown nose or suck up. A lot of our slang came from London. I wonder if the epithet came from the pleas of these poor women.
    175
  29. I grew up wanting for food. It is true, the damage is irreparable, but now I get enough. This is one reason why I usually donate money to the local food bank. I would rather donate money than food because sometimes a needy person won't have all the ingredients or proper utilities to prepare something slightly more complex. Great channel, I love hearing about the old days!
    164
  30. I was listening to a BBC radio comedy from the 50's. Tony Hancock was talking about being homeless + spending a night sleeping whilst hanging over a rope. I didn't understand. Now I do. Thx for the education. Brilliant information. Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃
    161
  31. Your voice is that of a master story teller - it helps to convey the true horrors of what these people had to endure. Love your channel thank you .
    159
  32. The more dire my economic situation gets, it is still better than most of Victorian London's dispossessed, starving, inhabitants. Thank you Fact Verse for putting things in perspective for me.

  33. As I have mixed feelings about breaking 112yrs of family history in Hoxton by being the last of us about to move out of Hoxton/London, in a way I do count myself blessed to have witnessed , and been part of, so many changes in Hoxton that they would have called you mental if you had predicted them 40-50yrs ago. We ( dad/brothers) had a fruit & veg stall along the market and I eventually opened a butchers shop after being given choice of 5yrs butchers apprenticeship or borstal. I miss the old days with all my heart and the community spirit and unity that could never be replicated again was something that only comes from those who have all suffered together with the echo's German bombs still in many memory's & being piss poor and ignorant living in a craphole council flat. I may miss nostalgia but the modernisation and evolution of a historic poor run down area has seen a standard of living increased for so many undreamed of not that long ago. The pubs closing & changing into flat and the 2nd hand shops now converted to selling hand made beers, nothing stays the same forever. Hoxton still has it's scumbags and faults , but I now see a modern vibrant area and wonder what my old mum & dad would think knowing we were recently listening to classical music coming from Shoreditch Green, that was once just rows of bombed out houses with the streets lined with corrugated Iron fences and a bunch of asbestos panelled pre fab bungalows the council put pensioners in to live, while sitting in the same family garden they once sat in, not worrying about the rat's coming in from the bomb sites.
    148
  34. I find myself fascinated with White Chapel, and everything to do with it. Whether it's regarding the black plague, or Jack the ripper, or just simply hearing about how the residents lived their lives. They were truly amazing and resilient people, who overcame struggles we could never imagine in our worst nightmares.
    144
  35. I've seen the photo before on YouTube of this poor women, but didn't know her story, it was a fascinating insight to hear her story told.
    139
  36. My 95 year old Nanna used to talk about getting “knocked up by the postman” (meaning he knocked on the door and woke her up!) used to have me in hysterics! 😂
    139
  37. Thank you for this. Now we know why we see pictures of families sat outside these houses. There were so many people crammed into the rooms it was easier to go outside as long as it wasnt raining. These houses must have been teeming with infection as people lived so close to each other.
    138
  38. This year on Jan 1st will be 30 years since I drank. I come from a long line of alcoholics and feel so happy and grateful that I am a gap in the line, because my life was becoming more and more derelict.
    135
  39. "The help that is forthcoming", I really hope that reporter DID go as far as helping her. When so little can make such a huge impact, everyone needs to have that chance, to give, and recieve.
    133
  40. It's heartbreaking and especially heartbreaking that this disgusting trafficking and destroying of women still happens to this day. 💔😪
    132
  41. This nearly happened to one of my Great Aunts. Thankfully she was stopped from getting on the boat by family members (I can’t remember who). I do know she thought she was in love and escaping to South America to be with him. She lived into her 90’s with a couple of her siblings but never married. I’ve seen photos of her in her prime, and she was quite striking. I’m sure she must’ve had many offers.
    130
  42. Thank you for sharing this. My great, great grandfather, was sent from Camberwell, to an industrial training ship on the river Tamar, (between Devon and Cornwall), I found him in the 1881 census.
    130
  43. Your voice acting skills are put to great use in the narration of these stories. I'm glad to have found your channel.
    127
  44. The Victorian age is fascinating to me, indeed, but I am ever so glad to be living in the 21st century, thank you very much!!! :)
    123
  45. I have always been interested in social history, my grandmother was born in 1899 and she would tell me stories of her childhood and stories that her grandmother would tell her ,it was a very hard life. These videos are very well told with excellent information . Best wishes from North Yorkshire.
    122
  46. Subscribed for teaching me why we use the term "hangover"/"hungover" to describe feeling rotten after a night of heavy drinking. Fascinating content, captivatingly read, thanks!
    122
  47. Another sense battering historical narrative. You can almost see and smell the squalor, feel the grime. Horrendous. The census of 06-02-1861 records Star Street as consisting of 123 houses and about 1500 people of whom 300 were children and many were barefoot. I recall seeing children in Manchester slums without shoes in the 1960's. Amazing how quickly that cannot even be imagined by most people just 60 years later.
    121
  48. I would totally buy an audio book if you ever make one
    121
  49. Very interesting vidio I was born in London's East end and my great grandfather was a pickpocket! He spent time in Newgate prison! Fascinating to see how they lived back then and the hardship of daily life for them .
    118
  50. I really love that you've expanded your coverage beyond the streets of London and are shedding light on life in New York! Perhaps you can later on try places like Chicago and Hong Kong and etc. Either way, I am pleased to see the evolution!
    118
  51. The fact that this guy only has 40,000 subscribers is insane!! He is an awesome story teller!
    116
  52. As a woman, thank you for this story. So many of the tales are the stories of men. While that is useful to know too, I am starved to know the stories of poor women.
    115
  53. When I first saw the film Titanic I wanted so much to be like Rose (Kate Winslet). But I eventually can to realize than I AM her. I sit on my fat bottom, in my own house, warm, drinking coffee wearing coloured fabrics and jewellery. A house built on the fields in which I would have worked in back then. Those poor bloody souls!💗 Thank God things have and do continue to change since then!
    113
  54. Nice to see a Youtube history channel covering the history of the important people not those useless aristocrats and royals fawned upon by almost every other history channel.
    107
  55. More people need to watch these videos, social history is so often 'skipped over' in formal education. My own Great Grandmother was the most amazing woman who fought tooth and nail to keep herself and her 7 children out of the workhouse. Her husband had abandoned her. Those children all grew up to be lovely people, despite the hoops and hardships. No privilege of any kind other than having a strong willed mother. Bless them all.
    103
  56. This is how history in school should be taught. Understandable, good for vision learners and it’s not full of ‘filler’ it’s factual and interesting. When I was a kid with undiagnosed ADHD, this , is exactly how I would of loved to have seen these videos . My boys watch these videos after reading Horrible Histories. Your educational videos reach all ages !
    103
  57. Pretty sure every night in Victorian London was scary as hell.
    103
  58. The adults all look twenty years older than their actual age! Life was so hard. You can see it in their worn down looking faces. Excellent video as I'm rereading 'People of the Abyss' now. Thank you.
    103
  59. A "life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep" that transformed desperately neglected urchins and burgeoning criminals into useful (if ultimately expendable) members of Victorian society was considered a very good prospect indeed. As was sung of them, albeit rather tongue in cheek, "A British Tar is a soaring soul, As free as a mountain bird" (HMS Pinafore). At least they were cared for (after a fashion), fed, had a roof over their heads and a value put on their otherwise worthless lives. Small wonder many responded well. It was better by far than a life of grinding poverty and depravity in the stews. Thank you for a fascinating narrative which contrasts remarkably with the usual stories of Victorian tragedy and horror.
    101
  60. Dickens referenced "Hulks" in his writing. Notably Able Magwitch from Great Expectations escaped from a hulk moored in the medway estuary among the salt marshes there. Always made for a fascinating subject.
    101
  61. Can we just have some appreciation for the neat cursive handwriting on those slates? Thank you.
    101
  62. Hard times for the young and poor. Thank you for their stories.
    98
  63. Another great Edwardian presentation. I can't imagine living like that ,but it was better than sleeping outside. I think I would drink as well. They still have shelters here in America and I would like to think it was a bit better. I met some women who lived in one and they said stealing was the worst problem. They knew who was doing it. Please with this being holiday time so they are collecting for the homeless please buy soap,shampoo and conditioner as well as food as it makes them feel so much better, thank you. I hope you don't mind me doing this but I just feel it's important.
    97
  64. Being homeless seemed to have been a worse crime than pretty well anything else. Mild punishment against assault of man'spouse still applies today far too often. Jack London pointed out the inequalities of the punishments very well.
    94
  65. Thank you so much for these analyses of the history of early modern poverty. A great deal has changed in the last hundred and a half years or so, but one thing that has certainly not changed enough is the criminalization of poverty, and the refusal of classist systems of power to act with the knowledge that the vast majority of crime or anti-social behavior is the result of unmet physical or psychological needs, not the result of inborn traits
    94
  66. These readings of these first hand accounts are just incredible...to be able to present so much detail as to the lives and sufferings of these poor souls. I love these first hand readings! Good job! Excellent video for anyone who loves the nitty gritty details of history!
    93
  67. That's my area, Shoreditch! I'm going to tell all of my neighbours about this. I love learning about local history.
    91
  68. Poverty and malnutrition hampered these people's height growth.
    91
  69. Also bed bugs and lice must have been rampant in those places. Consumption. Man my OCD and germophobia is totally kicking in!
    90
  70. You have the perfect voice for narrating this type of content. Also, your videos are extremely well written and formatted. Great work!
    89
  71. Apologizing to be alive : that is exactly what poverty make you feel like all the time.... During my time in london 1994 2007 i often felt the same. The dole sees you don't starve but for a while " sofa surfing" and squatting my only shield against pure homelessness did wear away at my tenuous feeling of being entitled to exist. To live. This is once more a vividly told story, and your voice(s) are so well suited for telling them.... thank you very much for this and all the other videos. If people knew how close to the ledge of the homelessness they live.... Thank you once more!
    88
  72. I belong to The Salvation Army who have been fighting against these housing conditions for 150 years. Goodwill officers worked in the slums, hands on, cleaning the rooms, nursing the sick and laying out the dead. The Founder, William Booth, wrote a book In Darkest England And The Way Out which laid out ways people could be helped out of poverty and his ideas were taken up by the new health service and social services in the 1940's.
    87
  73. Man, it must've been terrifying hearing that buzz sound from the bomb. Just imagine, in the middle of the night, there's just peaceful silence, then you hear a plane flying overhead followed by the reverbating sound of the bomb. You hear it getting closer and you run looking for cover, then the sound just cuts off and the dead silence fills the air a few seconds before the explosion and you're just there with your heart racing in the darkness, hoping that the bomb falls somewhere far from you.
    85
  74. These videos are of significant historical importance and your contribution to the documentation of this era is incredible. Everyone should see these videos as it reminds us of the hardships endured by our ancestors and adds to the appreciation for standard amenities and luxuries of our current daily lives today.
    85
  75. Thank you for this and all the insightful content. Keep it coming. We should never forget the suffering of the souls who lived though this horror. May they RIP
    84
  76. When I was about 9 years old, there was a fancy dress competition in my village, mum made sandwich boards with newspaper clippings stuck to front and back. I had old style clothes on and the sandwich boards for the competition and come away with the winners rosette and a big bar of chocolate. Great memory.
    84
  77. Totally spellbound by this one. I just feel everything comes to life because of your amazing narration. Thank you 🙏🏻
    83
  78. My town, Gosport, knows much of the prison hulks; they used to be moored near here in Portsmouth Harbour, and also in our creeks, and Burrow Island, a small island connected to one of those creeks, is still strewn with the remains of some of those unfortunate souls. On my first visit to the island as a thirteen-year-old in 2008, I found myself trudging over large, grey bones on the shore - 'oh, there must have been animals here', I naively thought.
    83
  79. Couldn’t imagine living during this time and being poor. I grew up poor but didn’t face anything like these poor souls. Love the channel good sir! Superb work!!!
    83
  80. Addiction.. taking people away from their hellish lives and minds since the beginning of time.
    82
  81. 1861, my ancestor James Rouse b1818 lived at 34, Lambert Street with his wife b1810 and seventeen others , ie four families at the address. He was working as a street Hawker selling crockery. His wife showing no occupation. Their children had long gone. Things had not improved, other ancestors husband and wife, both b1833 were admitted into the workhouse in 1901.
    81
  82. A fantastic hour of time travelling, thank you.
    81
  83. I love this truthful version of history, rather than the exaggerated versions we are used to
    81
  84. Another highly informative video! Puts me in mind of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair in terms of the horrific conditions many people suffered through during this period of American history
    80
  85. Great video, entertaining and educational as well as thought provoking, as always. Being a black woman in America, I couldn't help but keep thinking, well, there actually were worse jobs in the cotton industry on the early 1800s 😏, but that was pretty bad. I'm sure there were some actual slaves in the US that were less miserable than some of these young people being similarly exploited- just without having been officially designated a "slave." Whenever you are deprived of agency over yourself, in someone else's financially interest, it's basically slavery. So sad, at least slavery is recognized here. It seems like no one knows these poor children ever existed. Thank you for keeping the memory of these babies and the sacrifices they were forced to make alive. They existed and they mattered and the least we can do is acknowledge them and condemn those who exploited them.
    78
  86. This is great stuff! It is both a funny and also a creepy thing that I am mesmerised by listening to the narration, imagining everything and then thinking, well, I actually sort of lived that way in the 1980s in socialist Eastern Germany… The flat we had was beautiful on the inside but only because my parents were able to make something good out of it. The house was in a desolate state , because it was a so-called “Ausbauwohnung”, you had to do the renovation on your own. Everything around could be right out of this video.
    78
  87. Most cities were like this. My mother grew up in abject poverty. 8 people in one room. It should have been 10, but two siblings died. It left her with life long health problems.
    78
  88. I always thought I was quite knowledgeable in regard to history. However, I never knew these existed. You have blown my mind. Thank you, my friend❤
    77
  89. One of the best, if not THE best insight into the lives of British commoners throughout history. It was THESE people who built Britain, and I'm glad at least FF recognises these poor souls' sacrifice and contribution.
    77
  90. This channel inevitably makes me appreciate my humble home, and reassures me that actual history is not vanishing from our view just yet
    77
  91. So many reasons for poverty. As a Southerner I grow tired of people blaming the South for all the nation's problems and poverty and claiming we're all poor rural folks down here. Thank you for posting this example of poverty in a northern city during the late 19th Century.
    76
  92. Oh dear. So Great Expectations barely scratched the surface of the horrors of these things! Excellent video, good sir! You've made my Sunday!
    76
  93. I adore your videos, and your voice! I remember the pre-internet days when it was much harder to find real life information about the Victorians! Thank you so much!
    76
  94. It's actually amazing that with the poverty, lack of food and very dangerous jobs that anybody from the poorest families and class survived at all :_VictoriansGreetings:
    74
  95. My father, his brother and his parents all sadly got tuberkulose in 1946 here in Denmark 😢 My grandmother died a year later and my grandfather 10 years later. In Esbjerg the doctors had removed 10 of his ribbs over the years in hope of saving him ! I was born 3 month after he passed away in 1957. I would have loved to know my grandparents. They had a farm before the illness. My farher and his brother were bullied in the schol because of tuberkulose ! They were called tuberculosepigs 😢 It realy isn't that long ago.. Sad and disturbend story of to small boys loosing both parents 😢😢
    74
  96. Pember's mustache is an act of courage in itself
    73
  97. My great-grandmother was born in the slums of Narrow Marsh. She was one of 14 children. Narrow Marsh Nottingham was called one of the worse slumps in Europe. The lace trade had a lot to answer for.
    73
  98. Amazed this channel doesn't have more views. You've got a lovely voice for this kind of narration.
    73
  99. I love this channel. It's both fascinating and horrifying to hear how truly terrible life was for those who had nothing. Poverty was a painful trap
    73
  100. My grandmother was used for child labor. She made very little money. Her spine was scarred from picking up heavy loads. I like the true story on this show with historical pictures.
    73
  101. There you go! A real life story out of a Dicken's novel! I'm afraid the Victorian era left many working women vulnerable. As no, pension, no work insurance in the work place long with heslth and safety standards until after 1914 onwards. What a bitter pill to swallow! I wonder what happened to the baby in the photograph? 🌹
    72
  102. I happen to live in North Shields, I'm only 21 so it is crazy how close my age is too some of these people and how different our lives are. Amazing too think I have most likely stood in some of places they have committed these crimes. This is an AMAZING random find of a channel! Thankyou for this will show too my family!!!
    72
  103. My grandmother born in the late 1800s had a two up two down terrace house, granddad worked in the docks, pawn shops were a common weekly occurrence. Shopping down the market at nighttime, with lanterns hanging on the stalls, would mean cheaper fresh food as there were no refrigerators in those days to store fresh vegetables one half penny would buy enough for a stew. Second hand woman’s wool coats would be cut up for her sons short trousers.
    72
  104. Your voice is perfect for spooky yet comforting things.
    71
  105. It is always blowing my mind that my first longterm home in London was in the Eastend, and then in Covent Garden/ Soho edge. I lived in slum locations 100% of the time. Or was in easy walking distance (+/- 30 min). I took the times to create maps that I can overlap of London of my time staying there with my locations marked. A London map of Henry Vlll with my locations, one for Elisabeth l and finally one at about 1880-1901. Also one for London after the Blitz. It is beyond fascinating. I "just" have to learn to get the whole stash uploaded and interactive. Or just find somebody to do it. Every time I watch one of your episodes, I try and find the locations and follow along. I started following You during COVID and all this saved my sanity and brought me a new hobby. Lotsaluv from Texas. 🤠

  106. this channel is just like a time machine, it takes you so far into the victorian era you can smell it, thank you for another journey into the dark underbelly of our pasts

  107. My old boss had a favorite grandmother who came to the US as a girl and, in England would earn six shillings a week and 'give four of them to the poor'. She would set him on her knee and tell him about Robin Hood. He was so inspired by her tales, he grew up to be a great attorney, helping people fight big corporations for death and injury awards. Rule number one was Never Take a Fake Case. He was heroic to me as well. He was inspired and inspirational. All because of a sweet old Irish maid and her storytelling. ❤️

  108. New subscriber - very interesting. Will binge some more of your vlogs! Thank you. My Grandmother recalled her family living in one room in a shared house in Bermondsey and later Southwark, going on a special train crowded with other families to hop farms in Kent or Sussex in August, everyone working including the children, and considering it a holiday because they stayed in their own hut and made the most of the fresh air, ponds and rivers. The Salvation Army visited and gave out dried goods; she received her own bar of soap and kept it on her at all times, eking it out in hope of another bar and another holiday the next year. Eventually her Father was offered farm work with a tied two up two down cottage that had an outside standpipe and earth closet in a garden where he grew his own veg - her phrase was it was like winning the pools (lottery equivalent!). Oh how our expectations have changed. It's almost impossible to understand the hardship, degradation and indignities the urban (and no doubt rural) poor endured in Victorian Britain.

  109. Back in the day a few inner city suburbs in Sydney Australia were slums, these days they are the most highly sought places to live. How times have changed.
    70
  110. I'm sorry. But I can't be the first one to look at the criminal and think..."no way they're 15 or 29 or anything in between!" What a hard life it must have been.
    70
  111. What happened to these children was tantamount to human trafficking, being sold by guardians Thank you for drawing attention to their desperate plight Another great video
    70
  112. Even though you are often describing horrors, I thoroughly enjoy listening to these accounts of real people. Thanks for sharing, you have a real talent for telling their stories!
    69
  113. Love your channel, and soothing voice that really paints a picture in my head. Sometimes when I can’t sleep I pop your channel on, not because it’s boring but because of your soothing voice and you have a talent for storytelling 🤩
    67
  114. I read "How The Other Half Lives" while in school and was morbidly fascinated by the idea that people had actually endured these conditions. Excellent video good sir! Entranced as always by your narration which makes these grim topics all the more spellbinding.
    67
  115. This is the kind of stuff that made me fascinated with history as a kid
    67
  116. your channel is so underrated! great documentaries and info, thank you. would love more about the Victorian London!
    67
  117. Fantastic video!!! Amazing to think that most of these buildings are still standing. Although modernised inside its easy to see, especially at night, how dark and dingy they must have been. Each of them has its own tale of ghosts, murders, and sinister going ons. Builders involved in renovating the rooms have stories of all manner of things found buried under floor boards or hidden behind walls.
    66
  118. Terrible times. The child mortality rate for children under 5 in 1800 was 329 per 1,000 births (1 in 3 died), 228 in 1900 (1 in 5 died) with many survivors enduring the brutal conditions described. In 2020, the mortality rate was 1 in 4 in (1 in 250 died). I think it's very difficult for people to visualise the despair and destitution of Victorian society, so I think your research and narration of these personal accounts is uniquely valuable. Thank you.
    65
  119. So proud that im a Glaswegian, and my family has lived her for at least 4 generations❤ My granny was a "waker upper". My daddy was a lamplighter, one papa was a soldier, one was a criminal 😅. ❤
    64
  120. Just subbed. You're a very good actor, and you voice overs add a lot of life to these sad images. Your research is thorough, and you bring that time much closer to us...perhaps giving us an insight on the plight of today's homeless, while giving thanks for our own good fortune.
    64
  121. I love history but I’m obsessed with the British History. Always so interesting. Thanks for all your uploads. It’s appreciated! ✌️
    64
  122. Arriving at Ellis Island, instead of staying in New York, my Italian grandparents went to Illinois, thank goodness..And thar is why I still live here..
    63
  123. Exposure to Jacob Riss' photography as an 00's American highschooler fueled my future ambitions as an undergraduate history major. The Good Old Days -- They Were Terrrible! by Otto Bettman featured a lot of Riss' photography as well as lithographic prints that captured my young imagination.
    63
  124. Actually Seven Dials doesn't seem like a bad area at all! Especially compared to White Chapel or the other neighborhoods covered on your channel! Very enjoyable post.
    63
  125.  @FactFeast  hey man thank you I appreciate that. Finally got something I've always wanted today. (A laptop) and it's actually touchscreen . So I'm feeling pretty accomplished today . Great videos again and thanks for the kind words.
    63
  126. Worker's conditions still need to be improved, 100 years later. Thank you for keeping the real history of America and England alive.
    63
  127. How life has changed. A very informative video from original sources. The life of children and their impact upon society was very different in Victorian England. In 1800, one in three died before the age of five (329 deaths before the age of five per 1,000 children). By 1900 it was just over one in five (228 per 1,000). By comparison, in 2020, only one child in 4 from 1,000 died before the age of five. Parents and people did not form the loving attachments then that they do now because the chances of child mortality before the age of were, in 1900, 57 times greater than today. Consequently, the lives of children were valued less which allowed for their mistreatment, virtually as slaves within the economy, until the mid 19th. century. What is amazing is that the children, however, continued to dance and enjoy life while they could despite their poverty. That's a lesson for today.
    62
  128. My weekly excursion to edwardian england has been eye opening.having now returned to 21st century ireland i am fully appreciative of how lucky i am .thankyou for helping me count my blessings .
    62
  129. As a teacher, thank you for posting this, and for the passion in the reading. Dry reading causes students to tune out, this keeps their attention. Well created, thank you
    62
  130. I love the victorian content, the narrator has a great story tellin voice it is so relaxing xx
    61
  131. These videos are becoming more complex , more thoughtful. Something is happening here. A YouTube classic is being born.
    61
  132. These narrations take me away to another time and place! I love it, so much! As an escapist and a daydreamer, I truly enjoy the journey through time and space, brought to life by the paintbrush of your voice! 😊
    61
  133. the last one was a scary one
    60
  134. 19th century London was a terrible place ,that's all that can be said. Thankyou for these videos.
    59
  135. So basically mostly desperately poor people, mostly children, who stole things they desperately needed?! We are so lucky nowadays. My word. I loved this, thank you for the great content. Also, I was shocked at how short everyone is! Probably malnutrition and poor conditions!
    59
  136. I grew up in America believing the inhabitant of Drury Lane was The Muffin Man.
    59
  137. 2 days late watching this...its feeling more and more like we are going backwards these days instead of forwards. Being poor is the worst kind of way to live and people are treated like second class citizens . I cannot believe the difference in treatment in the courts and what's sad is I don't think anything has really changed that way. :_VictoriansMore:
    58
  138. This was a very thought provoking video about an important issue Thank you ff Love your content ✨️ 💕
    58
  139. Because of this channel, I went and bought a book of Mayhew's reports on the conditions of the poor people of London. I can't stand to read it because I need this voice! I'd rather wait for every tale to be told on this channel than read them all at once in my own voice. Love this channel!
    58
  140. Just discovered you. Wow. What an absolute treat. Fantastic narration ,so poetic and descriptive . The old photos are still so clear after over 100 years and portray the plight of these people so poignantly. So glad I found you.
    58
  141. The men pictured at 4:10 are holding “spuds,” which were tools for digging potatoes. “Spud” as a slang term for “potato” came from somehow transferring the name of the tool used to harvest it to the vegetable itself.
    58
  142. Such a great and sobering portrayal of Victorian life for the more destitute. Takes a great writer to record it and a great orator to recant it in a dynamic and interesting way, the history virtually springs to life.
    58
  143. You sir, are a born narrator and presenter. Not to mention the quality of the "immense" content. A very gifted man.
    58
  144. The Worst Shop? (Wrings hands, grins secretively, hits play)
    57
  145. How has it taken me so long to fine this channel, this is brilliant.
    57
  146. Thanks agian. Times change, but the hell of poverty never really does. Timeless, perennial, and seemingly an immutable part of the human experience.
    56
  147. If I were there, I'd be sympathetic to those spirits. I'd let them know I'm greatful for their service. I and ALL of us should be greatful for them, you'll will never be forgotten!
    56
  148. I do love your narration! You have a real talent! Thank you for bringing life back to a very interesting period of history and those that lived through it.
    56
  149. Disorderly house lol I first thought she was being arrested for not keeping her home clean
    56
  150. Wow! The way you read this and put it across brought me to tears. Such horrors, but your voice brings it to life even more. My heart breaks for our ancestors they had the worse time and people reminisce over the old days 🥺 no thanks. Thank you for this another piece of history I never knew
    56
  151. I wish you had been my history teacher. You make learning new stuff interesting and fun.
    55
  152. This makes me so grateful for what I have. Thank you for bringing the history to life in a very real way. Your way of story telling is amazing. Great video.
    55
  153. My Dad grew up with 10 brothers and a sister. Grandma Doyle served a lot of watered down oatmeal for breakfast and meat was a luxury but compared to how the working class lived back then my Dad was a lucky kid.
    54
  154. Fact Feast is criminally underrated! TY for all the great videos, gripping narrations and terrific pictures/editing! One of my favorite channels. Fact Feast reminds me to be grateful that I live in 2023 and not Victorian England or 1800's NYC. We have it good now...no matter how bad you think it is sometimes. It could always be worse!!
    54
  155. I'm from London. I can actually picture all those streets. I walk many of them on a regular basis. Currently working in farringdon and walk up from Blackfrairs Station.
    54
  156. Thank you for these very informative and very different videos from what everyone else is playing.
    54
  157. Recently stumbled across the channel and been binging all the victorian era videos, fascinating stuff!
    54
  158. Years ago I used the Greenwich Foot Tunnel to walk to work! It is a spooky place but I used it for a year happily! Then one day I became aware something was following me - and the feeling was so unpleasant I almost ran for my life! I tried using the walkway again but found the atmosphere so threatening I couldn't make the journey anymore!
    53
  159. I don't know how I got here, but it's rather marvellous.
    53
  160. I would die within a week of any of this. I am not at all as strong as I tell myself I am. Thank you for your excellent work and narration, it always makes me feel so thankful for my life, hard as it seems to be sometimes.
    53
  161. Am 47yrs old and can still rember the smell in the air of everyone out with there turnips and a candle 🕯 in it smelt lush and spending all day carving it out lol happy days 👍
    53
  162. Thank you for making your sources from people who recorded these lives with an eye for change. They understood that the people subjugated to such harsh conditions didn't want to live like this.
    53
  163. It's fascinating to see on the map how, the further east one goes, the larger dark colored poor areas are directly behind the red houses on larger through streets. Like a facade of "respectable houses hiding the true poverty of the areas.
    52
  164. That landlady was a real reforming angel; love her already. She exhibited the power and influence of one dedicated and caring woman. WELL DONE!
    52
  165. I had an ancestor who was sentenced to death for stealing food in that era - she was eventually sent as a convict to Australia - best thing that ever happened to her - she met another young convict and they were released early for good behaviour given a grant of land in sydney set up a hotel and became quite well off - a lucky escape from the life of the poor in England in those days but what a way for it to happen
    52
  166. I live in sunderland near Newcastle and I've explored Newcastle so much walking around looking at all of the old victorian buildings looking for the old slums walking down the old alleys. This is fantastic to hear this historic recording
    52
  167. I miss being a child and having the blissful ignorance in thinking "The little match girl" was just a story and never really happens in the real world. That poor old man towards the end. I always feel so heartbroken when any elderly man/woman struggles or suffers in any time :_VictoriansMore:
    51
  168. My Grandmother often went hungry as her father died when she was young. Her mother was an alcoholic and sold everything. She lost a sister and brother to Tuberculosis, which was rampant. She would strip a chicken until the bones were white, she never wasted a tiny bit. They have no idea of what real poverty is nowadays, if you had no money or job, you starved.
    51
  169. Imagine living day to day in poverty not knowing where your next meal was coming from and having to worry about Jack the Ripper on top of it. Those poor women. :_VictoriansGreetings:
    51
  170. The terrifying thing is that our current British government seems to view the Victorian period as though it were a Golden Age. For sure, civilisation moved forward a lot during the 19th century, but we could do a lot, lot better now. The fact that so many poor people struggled to get by in the Victorian period by doing odd jobs shows that the "gig economy" is nothing new, and shows up its dark side tellingly.
    51
  171. Families starving with no money for food or warmth while Royalty and the 'better sort' who have never known a struggle in their lives judge them for the crime of being poor. :_VictoriansVictoria::_VictoriansMore:
    51
  172. Thank you it's no wonder my ancestors immigrated from the UK to America..Hardy souls survived this.We need to honor our forebears. ❤
    51
  173. I often think if someone with great animation skills could take all those old engravings and photographs and bring them to life just as you seem to do in your narrations how much more useful it would be than some BBC sanitised drama. Keep up the good work.
    51
  174. Every once in a while I hear someone lamenting the ills of the modern. Sometimes they will say they wish they were born 100-200 years ago. I direct these people to your channel.
    51
  175. "And I don't say as I envies you married ladies your rings or your slavery." This is my new favourite quote. I agree fully even to this day. 😊 I enjoyed this video quite a lot Fact Feast, it's a rainy Sunday here so this and a cup of coffee were absolutely delightful!
    51
  176. Kinda recently in Whitechapel archeologist found a burial site for prostitutes that were refused their last rites by the parish priest and yet the church took a slice of the money they earned. A church of England priest officially blessed the site and will be doing so once a year. Poor souls, there was no dignity for those women even in death.....
    50
  177. Yes it’s that time of the week where I’m reduced to being a small child again in bed listening to my bedtime story provided by none other than Fact Feast. I’m so glad that I wasn’t living in the Victorian era, I really don’t know how or if I would’ve survived. The class system was and still is truly unequal and diabolical!
    50
  178. The story about poor little Tom just pulled on my heart strings. I am so happy he ran into that wonderful woman to look after him.❤️ Thank you for the visual story telling about Victorian life!
    50
  179. Still plenty of people today who feel as he did. I did an apprenticeship from 1982 - 1985 and must have had 40 or 50 jobs throughout the 80's and 90's. I could never settle and I would either argue with my boss and quit or sometimes I got fired. I am good at my job but struggled to commit at any job for too long. I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2010 and wish I had been diagnosed as a kid. It kind of explains the many mistakes I made through my life and why I could never settle, I have worked for myself since 2009 and still have my moments of struggle. Makes you wonder if these people weren't going through the same struggle and mental demons of not quite fitting in with society as I do now.
    50
  180. I'm always a little sad when the video is over, and I'm always eager for more. I do love the sound of your voice and how you portray each character in their vernacular speech. If you ever get into doing audio books you'd have custom from me.
    50
  181. Wow..That was an amazing and quite profound poem..I felt every bit of it..😞 Thank you for sharing that, people need to hear such things,so they can be brought to a reality that they may be far removed from,it has a way of giving a person, perspective they hadn't known..And hopefully adding a bit more humanity to their hearts..
    49
  182. Recently discovered this neat channel.
    49
  183. As hard as life is now, it's a cake walk compared to the Victorian era. Thanks for the excellent video!!
    49
  184. Another Sunday, another 60+ hour week in. I know my life is better than these women ( Even if I feel like a working girl after all these years in retail) Still, I can sympathize with the feeling of weariness, sore feet and always feeling tired. Your videos keep me going as a Sunday treat!
    49
  185. I can see how the trade evolved into the rag and bone men that still rumbled round the streets in horse drawn carts when I was a kid. it was in their last few years of existence. We never understood their names because you never gave them rags or bones but things like broken washing machines and scrap metal.
    49
  186. It’s sad that most people stole things to help them with their occupation, like the shoe maker who stole leather, the boy with ripped up clothes stealing clothing. People were so poor they tried stealing to survive.
    48
  187. Do you ever get depressed while creating these wonderful videos? They’re all top notch.
    48
  188. I lived in a flat in what was once a well to do Victorian house .It was damp and i never realised till i left it was that and the mould that caused the constant chest infections and sickness i suffered that i never had before or since. I did my best with modern heating and cleaning aids to keep it clean and warm but nothing really worked so i quite understand how hard people way back must have found it.
    48
  189. Imagine living in one of Edinburgh's squalid slums in this time and when you go home your roommates all have dysentery and the whole building is damp and reeking of urine and feces while rats scurry around everywhere. And then you remember you have to get up at 4:30 AM to work at the lead paint factory for 14 hours for 6 pence a day and half your coworkers have Cholera.
    48
  190. It’s very nice to see that others were working towards bettering their communities and society as a whole. I can just imagine how much more agreeable the downtrodden people’s lives became after such reforms were put in place. I truly hope that it improved their lives for the better.
    48
  191. my mates grandfather was born in the work house as crazy as that sounds, they still operated in northern ireland until 1945!! your videos are unreal after i watch them im thankfull the age i live in
    48
  192. Just discovered this channel yesterday. What a gem. Plus your narration is perfect. Definitely got a subscriber out of me
    48
  193. Victorian times are really interesting. In fact, I think it has a very important place in British history. Love from Istanbul / Turkey❤️
    48
  194. I grew up poor and didn't know we were. I did go hungry for a period of time when my father had to leave home to go to a distant city for work, so I know how hunger feels. And I have been cold. I raised my son and daughter alone without support from the father. Yet I received a classic education, thanks to my parents and my strong curiousity for more education.
    48
  195. I do alot of amateur archeology and regularly dig Victorian-age refuse dumps. The way you can recognize a disease outbreak in a particular time and place is by finding a dump full of empty bottles of disinfectant often coupled with spoons, forks, cups, and plates that are all in relatively good condition. Un-broken articles like these would not have been disposed of unless they were used by a person suffering from disease as people cleaning up after them wouldn't risk keeping an object that could infect themselves or others. They didn't really know how disease spread so they simply disposed of everything that was used by the sick person. Medicine bottles and disinfectant bottles are common to find in Victorian dumps, but ironically these chemicals were often primitive and ineffective at treating or preventing diseases. One common 'cure' was Laudanum, simply a tincture of opium - it would get you high and drunk but wouldn't cure you. One disinfectant they used was Carbolic Acid, and this actually was somewhat effective though it was an acid so was also corrosive.
    47
  196. I have a picture of my mothers grandmother. She was a young irish girl working as a domestic servant in Birmingham. What strikes me is that she's a pretty petite girl but her hands look unusually strong, no doubt due to years of manual domestic duties.
    47
  197. The lady in the first story, reminds me of my days on the ward, with sister in charge. She ruled with an iron fist - but training and working with her, was a major highlight of my career. I loved hard work, and seeing how well we cared for patients - im very proud. I had life training and compassionate as well as palative care, and how to do it with respect and care. Bring sister back, we need autocratic management sometimes
    47
  198. My Grandmother was born 125 years ago in 1898 NYC. She and her sister were dropped off many times at the Salvation Army so that they could be fed and clothed. She came from a family of 6 siblings mother and father. Her father was sickly and couldn't work. Bad news in the early 20th century. I know that it affected her very much that she had to live there months at a time. When she became an adult she always gave to the Salvation Army.
    47
  199. when i see the lives of victorians i wonder how any of us are here today, yet again this channel just brings history to life, thank you good sir
    47
  200. How apposite, and so reflective of Scrooge's Christmas epiphany, this account of the Dickensian squalor, poverty and deprivation of London's East End slums. Acting, as it does, as either a reminder of, or lesson in, the reality of British social history. We should neither forget nor rewrite our past to negate the centuries of this suffering. Thank you, very much, for all your effort over this past year. Have a Very Merry Christmas and "God bless us, every one." (Tiny Tim, Dickens, A Christmas Carol).
    46
  201. I like a lot of people have always been very interested in the Victorian/Edwardian era, but alas I see now thanks to your excellent videos that I had the complete wrong end of the stick and was looking at things through rose tinted glasses, I can not believe how the poor especially children suffered - and that from one of the richest countries in the world, that story about the prison warden that gave the little child biscuits and got dismissed for his kindness especially spoke to me. Thank you for your very informative and often fun videos.
    46
  202. Cooking (and appreciating my good fortune), and listening to Fact Feast. The only way it gets better is by being able to replay it AND watch, while things are simmering!
    46
  203. Absolutely love the way you become the characters.. You are very gifted in the way you enact these poor souls..🤔..Thank you and Much respect to you..!!
    46
  204. Ty so much for making these videos. I know all these pics from research, but never read this particular account. I love knowing there are others interested in urban history and the plight of the poor.
    46
  205. This is why I love this series. They highlight the place affected by inequality and shows how the people there really did their best to take care of each other with any way they can. It reminds of the situation where I'm from here in 2021.
    46
  206. This is one of the most distinctive voices that I've heard since Burton, Olivier, Wells and Price and the setting it casts is truly ominous. Great upload as always !
    46
  207. The story of the little girl at 18:22 was adorable. It’s fascinating really how I can see a little girl today doing this exact same thing. Hundreds of years later and you could absolutely find a kid so proud of her work that she stands like a hawk making sure evil little boys don’t mess it all up. Hundreds of years later, this exact same thing played out in Detroit when a Mayor paid to have all the smashed windows in a neighborhood fixed. The care the tenants took increased immediately and immensely.
    46
  208. I love your voice and content! I'm fascinated by the way they used to survive without fuss.
    45
  209. Right in the heart of the World's Greatest Empire. Of course the class system still dictated whether your life had worth, but still...
    45
  210. I knew it was a horror story to be poor in the East End and in other parts of London (St Giles, Seven Dials, Saffron Hill etc). Have you been reading Henry Mayhew's London Labour and London Poor? I like your narration, by the way. Thanks for the upload.
    45
  211. My Grandfather never missed a single day working deep in the coal mines in West Virginia . I have been told stories by aunts and uncles of him crawling on his hands and knees through deep snow leaving a trail of blood behind him to ensure his wife and children did not starve or freeze to death. My Mom would tell me about how my grandma would be up at the crack of dawn preparing the every morning breakfast of biscuits and gravy that they all sat around the table with pop pop to provide the only nourishment they had until supper of beans and cornbread or fried potatoes on occasion. They lived in area called coal camp where everyone was poor but took pride in keeping their children and homes clean. It was a very hard childhood but taught them all what is truly important in life. I’m glad my grandpa was able to enjoy his last 20 years in comfort considering the mines had left him with the dreaded black lung.
    45
  212. This was almost unimaginable, but there were pictures and the horror can not be denied. The image of the little boy sitting on the stair, so tired, hungry and distraught, head in his lap, was heart-wrenching.
    45
  213. My Grandfather was a Comedian, Singer and Dancer in early 1900s he tried to teach us some of their traditional songs
    45
  214. So glad you drew attention to these unscrupulous landlords who further exacerbated the squalid and miserable conditions the poor and vulnerable were subjected to Great video
    45
  215. These videos are incredibly important. I've changed a few people's opinions on labor relations with them. We've tried a lot of things in the past, we have to make sure we don't repeat them.
    45
  216. all my paternal family lived in that area over 300 years, my irish gt gt grandparents lived in maypole alley by the crossbones graveyard

  217. Yaay. These uploads make my Monday's now something I look forward to. Great as always. Being homeless is bad enough but being thrown in prison for daring to fall asleep is disgusting. :_VictoriansMore::_VictoriansGreetings:

  218. After having grown up reading pretty much every word by Dickens and Orwell, then discovering and writing about William Hogarth, I have been looking for a channel like this for so long. Very happy to have landed up here. Going to binge-watch now!
    44
  219. As a Londoner, I love learning more about my city's history. Thank you so much 😊
    44
  220. Beautifully and theatrically spoken. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the ghastly description of Victorian England. Sadly, the slums of today fare no better.
    44
  221. Good storytelling, but the sad part, is that here in america, the homeless situation is grim. A building for low income seniors was so bad, they evicted them all with nowhere to go because of the mold. Evil in my opinion, should have got them housing first. I live in a cold state, and not much time until snow comes. The conditions in california are awful, you think they would have low income housing, because many are working homeless. Many more will be homeless i fear with the cost of everything going up. G-d bless, love the video's, and awesome story telling ability.
    44
  222. These terrible lives need more exposure on main stream media . I don't think I have ever seen any decent documentaries about these poor souls and dramas about that era are very sanitised. It's a great channel - thanks ✌️
    44
  223. I love your channel always interesting and informative. But rarely it is of such positive outcomes for the people involved. I enjoyed hearing of better circumstances for these boys at least
    44
  224. Thank you for covering Jacob Riis and the NYC tenements. How the Other Half Lives was THE book that set me on the path to be a historian! I'm a life long New Yorker and my dad grew up in a cold water flat in East New York, which wasn't much better than the 1880 tenements and I believe that connection made it so easy for me to relate to these people for a different century. Something about seeing the intrinsic humanity in Riis' photos made something click in me and now I'm working on my PhD. I didn't end up focusing on American history, but still study urban poverty of other eras, so I love your channel and how accurate you are in your research!
    44
  225. I was in seven dials today. I sat and tried to imagine the streets as they were and the lives of the people who walked them.
    44
  226. Wow, this guy can read! How does one learn to read like that?
    44
  227. Merry Christmas Everyone 🎅🏼
    43
  228. Childhood used to be brutal and harsh. No carefree days for these poor children. We are fortunate, and Fact Feast skillfully reminds us of this.
    43
  229. I'm seriously amazed at your vocal skills! Such talent I wouldn't be surprised you do voice over work as a living as to me as this felt like I was spoken too by the actual person! Fantastic work :)
    43
  230. Your voice is epic! Really enjoying this.
    43
  231. Both my parents were from the Gorbals, 1940's.Cumberland Street where 8 children and my granny and papa stayed in a two room and kitchen. Coats for covers on their beds, poor but well fed by my granny.
    43
  232. What was done to these little chimney sweeps by their masters was monstrous. ( I had to go look up a word that was strong enough here.) Omg, I was just going to ask you about children getting stuck in the chimneys and at 31 minutes into this video you answered my question. I can't help but imagine the feeling of being stuck in that dark, filthy with soot, narrow passage and I can't breathe. Poor little ones, I am so sorry this all happened... Thank you for educating us about this topic. I knew children were "chimney sweeps" but I had no idea what that even entailed.
    43
  233. Jacob Riis's photography is so fascinating to see. It's like you go back in time and get to see the real deal. 😊
    43
  234. It's nice to have a presentation on Edwardian times not just Victorian. Things are going back to this in places which is very sad. I love that you do the other side of the times not just the wealthy people.
    43
  235. That poor young woman. I truly hope she had good life after all that and I honestly admire the heck out of her. It's very rare to find anyone with such a strong conscience. :_VictoriansGreetings:
    43
  236. Although meant to be sad, this one got me smiling with his "mother brought up seven decent men and women". We should all be thankful for the plenty that life brings us.
    42
  237. The Victorians did a lot of great things but really excelled at poverty.
    42
  238. I felt the spray of every "p" in that narrative. Subscribed!!!
    42
  239. My father harvested ice from Lake Michigan with his father as a child! He was born in 1942. ❤
    42
  240. I've read Mayhew! It's a great book. London in the Victorian period was probably the greatest city ever to exist. I mean, imagine it. The financial powerhouse of the world on one side of the street and people starving to death on the other. An empire that spanned the globe yet inferior to Rome in basic civil services, two thousand years before. Ever since I read my first Sherlock Holmes story, I was hooked. Light, ambition, and power on one side, darkness, despair, and mind numbing poverty on the other. The juxtaposition is almost unimaginable.
    42
  241. I've worked in pharmacy for over 20 years and I had to do a report once on what the common and poor folk of the 1800s died from. As I sat in the Liverpool TAFE (formerly the old men's Asylum), I read over 10,000 destitute men died in this one complex where I currently sat, from Sickness and diseases that can be so easily cured nowadays... they suffered in pain loneliness until they died, to be then thrown into a pit without ceremony or honour. ... all because they were on the wrong side of the tracks of life.... they were poor. Nothing made me feel so heartbroken as the fact that I had all this medical knowledge and I couldn't go back in time to stop that suffering or show them some care.
    42
  242. As a blind person myself, that bit about the blind house hit hard. There for the grace of god go I. Also, on a lighter note, in my subscription box your video is just below one about the cheapest vs the most expensive Las Vegas buffet. 😀
    42
  243. We love Fact Feast! It makes us feel that no matter how trashy and horrible our lives are........ It could always have been worse!
    42
  244. These stories are so heartbreaking but I can't help but listen again and again. Thank you for sharing them friend. Take care. 👍
    41
  245. It wasn’t a merry Christmas if you was caught economically on the wrong side of the tracks in Victorian Britain. Many drank to escape their sorrows & you know that old saying when the wine is within the wit is without. Thanks to FactFeast for the journey back to a not so a nostalgic time.
    41
  246. These videos always make me appreciate what I have .they are so evocative and paint such vivid pictures in my mind that they stay with me for ages after I listen to them.I particularly liked the one about the Hanson drivers 🇨🇮👍
    41
  247. God help me if i lived then ,i wouldn't be able to sell a single Lucifer or a scrap of fly paper. The human will to survive any hardship is amazing. Excellent episode.
    41
  248. Keep them coming! I really appreciate all of your work.
    41
  249. Love this channel. Picked up a copy of Nicholas Nickleby looking for a good long book to read on a cross US flight from michigan to washington. Been hooked on dickens, and further Victorian and similar times readings since. Thanks for all you do to preserve this period of history. See you next week!
    41
  250. My Great Grandfather came from Whitechapel and was living in Wentworth Court in 1881 census. He ended his days in the workhouse.
    41
  251. Five Points was an interesting area. I believe it was that Old Brewery building that once abandoned became over crowded with the poor. They believe a person was murdered inside at the rate of 1 a day and left to rot. Babies born there never knew sunlight, because once you were in, it was treacherous to leave for fear of not being allowed back in. The Police refused to enter. So many people died in the building they nicknamed "The Frog", that when it was finally evacuated and torn down--one hundred bags of human bones were removed. It was a hell on earth. Literally.
    40
  252. Thank you again for taking us back to the lives of these poor souls who were held captive by the evil of drink. Keep up the good work
    40
  253. Oh, my old man's a dustman He wears a dustman's hat He wears cor blimey trousers And he lives in a council flat He looks a proper narner In his great big hobnail boots He's got such a job to pull 'em up That he calls them daisy roots Lonnie Donegan.
    40
  254. On the one hand, this was a really sad story, but on the other it was really heartwarming how William had such respect, love and appreciation for his mom. Thank you for this!
    40
  255. The police had orders to move any person who was trying to sleep in a doorway or a public stairwell etc or on a park bench. Can you imagine getting a few hours of sleep per night and then waking up freezing cold or damp etc, absolutely worn out before trying to earn a few pennies for a cheap breakfast before trying to find a full days work on the docks or some menial job. If you were lucky you might earn enough to get a 4d bed in a stinking and filthy Common Lodging House in a dangerous slum, before starting all over again to the next day. If you couldn't earn enough for a bed you had to face another night on the streets. What a terrible way to live.
    40
  256. I appreciate the history lessons, sir! Thank you!
    40
  257. What I find interesting is that a lot of my ancestors lived in the east end from the 1600's until my Great grand mother left and migrated to New Zealand in 1889, but none of the ancestors called be called poverty stricken.Quite the opposite in fact. Because most of them were Wesleyan/Methodists,they were very socially active,working to support actual poor people. Star Street was a little over half a mile along Commercial Road and led southwards. It was originally designated Dock Street and then Planet Street, but became Star Street in June 1865. In December 1891, it reverted to being Planet Street again. Finally it disappeared in the 1960s.
    40
  258. Thank you Fact Feast. Another excellent video concerning an overlooked aspect of Victorian poverty. People often associate workhouses with Victorian cities, but there are many largely forgotten rural workhouses throughout England and Wales, in places like Cerne Abbas, Southwell, Llanderfel. It would be good to learn more about such Poor Law institutions. Almost medieval rural poverty was exacerbated by the creation of model farms and farming technology which resulted in migration to the cities. It was a hard and utterly merciless life.
    40
  259. Reminds me of the radium girls, and what radium did to their bodies.i wasn't aware of there canary girls. So sad. Thank you.
    40
  260. Love the old pics ,and am fascinated with the Victorian times brilliant video 👍
    40
  261. My father was an apprentice in a brass foundry in the 1950’s in Manchester. He never said anything about poverty. Only that all was smoke, from the stacks, and from tobacco. Non-smokers didn’t exist. Collars had to be changed daily. Soot and grime everywhere.
    40
  262. And the thousands who were sent to the colonies for petty reasons 😡 just because the rulers wanted to clean the country of undesirable people 😢 another very convenient forgotten reality 😤
    40
  263. Thank you for bringing these horrors to people all over the world who never heard of them. Here in the north of England we are taught about this at school as some of these kids were our. ancestors. Many of the smallest kids were used to pick the cotton waste from under the steam powered machines and some of them were caught up in the machinery and literally mangled to death. Is it any wonder that me, my dad, grandad and great grandad embraced Socialism.
    39
  264. The poor had such a grim life. Thank you for outstanding historical content!
    39
  265. I don't know how anyone in poverty & underfed even survived it & Thanks F.F.❤️
    39
  266. I've read Jack London, other accounts of late Victorian dosshouses and many other accounts of the East End (morbid interest in JTR). What always strikes me about the miseries they faced is how knackered and starved of sleep they must have always been. Even if you weren't being woken by police on a bench and had a doss bed they got little sleep and they were turned out usually at the crack of dawn. What did you do when you needed a middle of the night pee too? There were a couple of toilets in the yard but they could be a long way away. They must have been permanently exhausted, cold and hungry.
    39
  267. This is heart breaking! How people could be so cruel to children I just cannot understand!
    39
  268. Fascinating content as always, thanks. Jack London’s book “ People of the Abyss” is well worth reading and the kindle version is very affordable.
    39
  269. Excellent commentary; it seems that things have not changed in our times, we now have the night shelters, which individuals have to be in at a certain time in the evening and out in the morning, thanks again Facts Feast for another piece of narrative history.
    39
  270. These videos about the working poor during Victorian times are gut wrenching. Thank you for your work, and Happy New Year to you
    39
  271. 9:40 At the very least, that is one thing that every human being deserves to have. A place to themselves.
    39
  272. This was a wonderfully narrated tale He was so lost and just wanted his family Thank you for telling the story of this young man
    39
  273. Not much has changed when it comes onto the subject of house prices in London. Thanks to FactFeast for our night time story. Hit the like button & share.
    39
  274. Only seen a couple videos of yours so far and yep, I'm hooked!!
    38
  275. I am from Manchester and love these history clips, gives me insight into my past, I am from Old Trafford and I can remember going to Salford to visit family, 2 adults and 10 kids in a 2 up and 2 down house was amazing, I will aways remember the wash house at the back of my aunties house.
    38
  276. There's NEVER a bad production! Thank you for all you're hard work!❤❤
    38
  277. I really like the "author voice" you use in your videos. You are a great prose writer I am glad you found a way to make money at it. This better not be AI or I am really tricked. This is good prose.
    38
  278. It's so heartbreaking, how people toiled and suffered to provide for basic needs. Sadly, my own father, throughout the 1960's and 70's breathed in deadly asbestos fibres from drop ceiling tiles; doctors gave him 20yrs to live and they were spot on. My father slowly suffocated to death from Asbestosis. I can relate to these tragic stories. Thank you as always.
    38
  279. Going off of the fact that he most likely buried it off of the Carolina coast, you'll most likely never find it. The surf on the outer banks is so gnarly and changes so frequently that it is probably not on land anymore, but it is possible that a chest can wash up on a bank one day, its happened before.
    38
  280. How very sad! Thank you for this enlightening and riveting presentation. A few minutes in, I was struck by how rich most of us are these days by comparison, and what a miracle it was that anyone survived into adulthood in those days. How did they battle against depression which must have been a daily feature of life? I've been at a low point in life, and known poverty, and had to dumpster dive for food. I sold all of my gold jewellery (there wasn't much) to buy food and pay bills. These narratives have a remarkable resonance for us now, and fill the listener with respect for human resilience and survival instincts. I also think about the vulnerabilities of the little ones playing in the street. Anyone could have predated on and exploited them by flashing a copper coin to a hungry little child.
    38
  281. I have a friend who has lived her entire life in Evansville. I shared this video with her. She really enjoyed learning something new about her home town. Thank you! I love your videos.
    38
  282. Love this unsanitized version of the Wild West.
    37
  283. Great video. My mother's family were from the parish of St Clement Danes, just next to the parish of St Giles. It was pretty poor in St CD's too, but not as bad as St Giles. I didn't know about the Fenian barracks at all, so very informative My dad's family were Irish immigrants but came over much earlier in the late 1700s. The Irish that arrived later seemed to get the worse deal.
    37
  284. This is actually very sad, a tale as old as time. 😢 That man throughly broke her heart, many people male and female, have had complete nervous breakdowns over a lover leaving them. It is really no exaggeration.
    37
  285. Is that where "That's a load of old tosh" comes from? Very informative, thank you. I have subscribed. :)
    37
  286. Love this channel, Clear and easy to listen to, No intrusive background music or silly robotic voice. Well done have an award.:trophy-yellow-smiling:☘💚
    37
  287. Having been homeless myself for ages back in 2013 etc, this video is close to my heart. Even through the years, the struggles and situations are still so so similar. And as everyone else says...your voice is brilliant for this. New sub from UK :)
    37
  288. The People of the Abyss is an amazing account of what life was truly like for the thousands of poor who lived in the East End…and sadly, also an account of those who lacked in the most basic compassion for their fellow man…
    37
  289. This is a GREAT series!! I love this kind of “unseen” history.
    37
  290. FactFeast takes us on a journey in the historical spacecraft as we hear about the ills living in Victorian England where life was excruciating if you was on one of the lower rungs of society while the rich lived in opulence quaffing champagne and eating kedgeree.
    37
  291. The penny sit-up was one of the first homeless shelters, created for the people of Blackfriars, in central London, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was operated by the Salvation Army to provide comfort and support to its destitute clients. What made this shelter unique was that in exchange for a penny, clients would be allowed to sit on a bench in a reasonably warm room all night. They were not allowed to lie down and sleep on the bench. A penny sit-up was the cheapest homeless shelter at that time
    37
  292. BEAUTIFUL Language, pronunciation, vernacular and vocabulary. Please don't stop. You tell a great story, everytime.
    37
  293. Honestly! Where do you find these extraordinary accounts? Quite the best introduction to 19th. century social history you can find on the internet, in literature or in any other media. Complete with extraordinary photographs and lithographs, that make the Victorian origins of the archetypal British meme, 'Mind the platform', immediately apparent.
    36
  294. Thank you Sire for these glimpses into a dark and bleak past, it is indeed heartbreaking seeing the young punished so harshly, most of their so-called crimes at the time were all about hunger and survival. Greetings and once again thank you, your channel and your clarity narratives are the best.
    36
  295. One thing I always find touching is the washing hanging up. The incredible effort involved, with no running water and all those stairs, almost can't be imagined, specially when considering how tired and under-nourished the mother would be, and the lack of space available for the work and the hanging. It makes me think they were probably as house proud as possible, making great efforts to sweep or scrub the floor. There's usually curtains at the windows, too, so they were trying to make their space homely. The writers of the time make many references to the dirt and filth those people lived in, but that washing imo says it wasn't willingly. However if some simply gave up trying, as I'm sure they did, who could blame them?
    36
  296. He cried and had nightmares? Thank God there was one human with kindness in his heart willing and able to help.
    36
  297. My late Farther, who sadly only passed away in January, lived in Queens Buildings, Collison St until he was 10 in 1948. 5 Children & 2 parents in 3 rooms, 6 floors up with no electricity or running water. The 5 boys shared a bed and the place was infested with rats. They were only moved to a home with more modern facilities because my Grandmother was Ill with diabetes. My Dad carried some of the effects of the poverty of his childhood all his life, his bad chest from the smog and a curved spine from meningitis that he had aged 8 that was almost fatal. The poverty & want these poor people in the 19th century experienced was dreadful & it’s saddening that that it still lingered half way into the 20th Century.
    36
  298. I lived in a very small town - Hamlet - village in Bavaria Germany in the mid-20th century. All of the streets were made from cobble stones. Houses would erect a rod-iron platform atop there houses, - in hopes that storks would nest - and bring good health and luck to the inhabitants. We were surrounded by familiar German forests. Around 3 AM you could smell the baker making 'brochen' (something like that - it's been a long time). I admit (I didn't get fed as I needed) late at night I would leave the Cellar -Keller in German and steal apples. Even in the summer the temp. didn't get much beyond the young 70's. Anyway, - I would ride my bike to school in the early cold 🌬 mornings. My bicycle tires would bumpity-bump-bump-bu on those old Roman stone streets (except in winter when you couldn't keep atop your bike to save your life). When I'd reach the center of town (I'd always look up at the old clock tower to see if I was late - I always was). But this is what reminded me of old London, - I would see older heavyset women - elbows on window sills looking out at goings-on from older second story houses. I didn't appreciate it then. So often it seems, - memories are dearer than experiences.
    36
  299. A video on the gilded age in America would be nice. See the similar struggles of the poor
    36
  300. This sounds as bad or worse than the homeless camp's around the world, especially skid rowe in los angeles. There are working homeless everywhere, because of high rent, and lack of affordable housing. That skid rowe is something, with the poor, mentally ill, the drug addicts and alcoholics, mixed in with people who work, but can't afford the rent. The people back in time had it rough, especially if they got injured or sick, there wasn't anyone to help back then, and i can't imagine having to raide children back then in such filth, and with all the horrible thing's they witnessed. I thank the Lord everyday for providing me with a home, clean water, food, and clothing. I have progressive ms, plus some other serious medical problems. I was injured at work back in 2009, and had several surgeries to fix my leg, knee, and ankle, plus my back was messed up to. I had to sue worker's comp, because they didn't want to pay for one of my surgeries, and i used that money to buy a home that needed some work, and i live out in the country with my own well and septic system. I heard that in the city, people are paying high price's for water, crazy. I would be in better shape had comp taken me serious and done xrays, so my injuries were much worse because i had to work rain, snow, or shine, because i was a cemetery superintendent with not enough help, and dangerous working conditions. I don't know how anyone without faith makes it through the time we are in, but back then especially. Thanks for making these video's, and the time you put in, very well done, and the narration is great. G-d bless everyone.
    36
  301. I had never heard of this man before. I looked up his name and saw his first wife had 10 children before dying young herself. I saw he also spent time in the dreaded Workhouse as a child which must have seared him. He rightly revered his poor mother to the end of his life for her suffering and caring for her children with a crippled husband.
    36
  302. I dropped everything and started watching immediately! Thanks for making my day! 😊
    36
  303. My father was born in the 1920s and grew up in a small farming village near Ely in Cambridgeshire. He told me they would have guisers going from house to house asking for an apple or a soul cake in return for a blessing upon the house and its occupants.
    36
  304. In the early 70s, I left home a week after my 17th birthday. I went to work for a horse trainer. I lived in a horse stall. My bed was several bales of hay pushed together. I worked from 6am until 10pm. It seems strange now that my work and living conditions were like those of 150 years ago, but it seemed normal then. It's just the way it was.
    35
  305. Hi--I'm new here and really think you do an excellent job recreating times from the past/educating people about the Victorian age. People probably don't have a clue about how impossibly hard it was just to survive in that era. I like your narration and decided that yes, all channels need support that do an excellent job... such as yourself!
    35
  306. Unless you hear about the horrific manner in which poor souls, from a documentary, you would never know. We didn’t learn about this in civics or history classes. Such a shame. Obviously the landlords knew about it and just didn’t care that these were human beings and had the same needs as their families. 😢
    35
  307. Thank you for another fascinating story.
    35
  308. Believe it or not, I actually used to pay to sleep in a bed during the day, then someone else paid for the same bed at night.
    35
  309. My paternal grandparents emigrated from England to the USA in the early 1900s. I hadn't realized the economic hardships during that time. Thank you for posting.
    35
  310. First here, mind boggling. The past is really another country.
    35
  311. I so look forward to your new posts, your stories and your narrative style are always so enjoyable. Thank you for all you put into your channel. Much respect from Maine, US.
    35
  312. Your output is consistently top-notch. Rarely can one find a better feel for the time, place and lot of those therein. Thank you.
    35
  313. As someone who has hair down to my waist, I can almost feel the trauma of having it all cut off like these women did. Yikes! As always an entertaining and informative video. Thank you so much.
    35
  314. As someone who has been fortunate to never have had to choose between good housing and feeding myself/family, it's so hard to imagine making that choice. Another great video, thank you!
    34
  315. I think we can all understand far better the origins of the expression "dirt cheap" after listening to this account. Happy New Year. Very best wishes. Wishing you more success and many more subscribers.
    34
  316. My family moved to Los Angeles in the 1870's. My gr. gr. Grandfather shot 2 men dead on Main Street. Then he got a job in the Hotel business and eventually owned the premier hotel, The Nattic House(now the LA Times building). New York City officials called Los Angeles a,"living hell on earth", at the same time as the movie,"gangs of New York". Eventually my gr. Grandfather built the Roslyn Hotel. 1000 rooms, and biggest hotel West of New York. Lots of crazy stories from then. At one point my gr. gr. Grandfather was related to the Chief of Police, the Sheriff, the Mayor, and several state and federal condressmen and senators.
    34
  317. I recommend that you show parts of Booth's map of London Poverty c.1889/90....It is very interesting to see where our great grandparents lived....
    34
  318. Thank you fact feast for another dip into our history. Life was cheap then and if you were down on your luck or too ill to work then God help you.
    34
  319. The artwork, editing and narration are The Queen's Proper ......well done, kind Sir.
    34
  320. I'm new, but LOVE your narration style. Well done. The numb resignation of this situation reminded me of John Cooper Clark's "Evidently Chickentown".
    34
  321. I'm attempting to write some historical fiction set in Edwardian London. This video and most on the channel are pure GOLD! The details about everyday people and life are so hard to find in such concise and rich format as this. Thank you!
    34
  322. 😢 in my grammar school we had a story telling contest where we’d have to memorize a story and recite it in front of the class and then in front of the school if we won in our class. In second grade my mom selected The Little Matchstick Girl and I actually won the whole darn thing, I think largely because of how moved I was by the story, since she would have been my age or even younger. Weird flex, I know, don’t know why I had to add that I won but I think it’s because it’s such a compelling story that was based on fact
    34
  323. Love your videos. Gives me an insight to my ancestors who lived in this part of London in the 1800’s
    34
  324. Thank you! I've been waiting for this for a while now. Iv'e actually got a working pocket watch made in the town or Bawtry in 1846. So it's nice to see the world and time it came from.

  325. My own father lived in Bethnal Green , as did all the family , because in those times families stayed together. I have a photo of my father his bro and his mum and dad ,outside their house here. And yes grandad was a shoe maker , my Nan, and her sister were hat makers, ( milliners) . My dad became a watchmaker who worked in Bond Street LONDON . So it’s lovely to see real photos of a time past.
    33
  326. I don't know where you find your photos, but being so into Victorian England, I love your channel. I'm Australian, but visited England 3 times and loved all the back streets on night tours .I even went to Spitlefields and had a drink at the 10 Bells hotel. There was the most breathtaking tiled wall depicting Victorian Spitlefields. I think it's actually the original. Your so lucky to live amongst all that history. Thankyou so much, Louise.

  327. Thankyou for posting this! The first gentleman with the eye inflammation, sounds exactly like uveitis.. makes me really think “wow”. I suffer with chronic uveitis and with the hospitals knowledge I have saved the majority of my sight, but having it back in the Victorian era, I would of gone blind by now!
    33
  328. Another presentation of past lives narrated by a gentleman of many voices well liked thank you
    33
  329. If only history lessons at school were this engaging. I am not interested in royalty. I am interested in the salt of the earth people. The only interesting history lessons I had were at junior school, where we learned about children forced to work in coal mines.
    33
  330. I'm enjoying these Victorian London videos so much. Great narration voice! Really makes me appreciate what I've got. I can never really be poor if I have a bed and enough to eat.

  331. I have studied infectious diseases my whole life. I was aware of an outbreak of bubonic plague in 19th century San Francisco’s’ China town. Their compassionate solution was to cut of China town from everyone as some cruel form of isolation (Quarantine). No help from the outside world and no one allowed to leave the infected zone. My mother was born and raised in Glasgow and I’m ashamed to say I have never heard of or found anything in my studies regarding a plague outbreak in 19th century Glasgow. I can’t believe my ignorance. Thank you for the enlightenment! In fact, I thought the last outbreak of bubonic or pneumonic plague (Y-Pestus) in Britain, was London in the early 1660’s and died out in 1666 with the Great fire of London. Likely the only benefit of the fire. Burned down old decrepit buildings and slum areas killing the rats along with the fleas and tick on the rats that spread the disease. Alcohol! Shocking! How surprising that people leading a life of misery, living in abject squalor, poverty and hopelessness would turn to alcohol as a temporary means of escape.

  332. Last part of my research poor Victorians breakfast consisted of cold meat , cheese beer Victorians eat batten berg which is light sponge cake . Poor people have salaries about 12 shillings spend on food each week loaf of bread milk cheese afford meat once a week saved for Sunday lunch beer and gin were cheap and illnes and death were common especially in children due to poor diet and biggest killer was dirty drinking water eat beans and lentils for protein sources but Victorians also eat lot of healthy fiber such as nuts , chestnut hazelnut most commonly meat was pork . In winter season carrots , turnips unexpsenive . Victorians drink lemonade beer , hot tea . Eat sweets such as jelly babies , coconut rice toffee or wine gums Victorians menu dinner rabbit soup in 1880 s during late 19 and early 20 centuries popcorn was eaten as cereal nowadays. Victorians breakfast was heavy meal sausages, ham , eggs served with bread rolls high tea served before dinner with milk and sugar became well established in Britain in early 19 th century they began to use gas have dinner from 5 pm to 7 pm salad served for upper class . Victorians still thin they had fixation on pursing body either through not eating use of mineral water and limited amount thought of poverty diet .victorians tea menu consisted of finger sandwiches with cucumber and sweets as scones , coco chocolate on grand sale but Poor Victorians on Christmas dinner included both beef swan or two . Victorians among favorites of queen victoria sweets packed in small boxes sent to court four times sweets were chocolate wafers have three different shapes. Victorians drinking was hot cup of rice milk in street vendors and there are too picnic sandwiches Victorians Britain was nation of coffee drinkers we too in Arabic countries love coffee very drink of hospitality we give it guests with dates iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English language as none native speakers stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  333. Even now I hear it's dangerous to go to a shelter. 🇺🇸 here in the States.... I enjoyed it very much 😁 Thanks..
    33
  334. I so enjoy these narrations. I've learned so much from this channel and am grateful to have found it. Please keep them coming. I watch them with my 7yr old son and it gives us both a better appreciation for our lives today.
    33
  335. I love Jack London so much. What a hero! Both you and him are proving that it has NEVER been ok to abuse others whether they are family or just a member of society. Never stop making videos!
    33
  336. Love how this channel makes history come alive, Merry Christmas, luckily we are in far better times now!
    33
  337. I got very emotional after hearing this. How life-changing mothers can be - either in good or bad way. His mother gave him that basic need of every child - the love. How blessed he was.
    33
  338. I’d like to commend you for the work you do and for providing information on a part of period of history mostly forgotten. I’d seen almost half of all the programs, and I’m making progress to watching them all by year’s end. Once again thank you, looking forward to more of these informative yet dark and real part of history. Here in the US homeless people are very lucky, lots of them even get food stamps and lodging in hotels. I saw one bum once searching a trash can with one hand while holding his cell phone with the other, go figure.
    33
  339. Fascinating stuff. One wonders not only about the one-sided nature of these testimonies but also the extent to which the alleged criminal and "vicious" behaviour was caused by having to live in such miserable circumstances.
    33
  340. Watching 3min after you posted! You're the best! loving your channel! You're so calming to listen to and I love that you get into the narrative with voices etc. You're a wonderful presenter! Obligatory FIRST!
    33
  341. Such abject misery, no empathy for others. Sleep, the only escape. Thank you for a wonderful rendition of an historical account.
    33
  342. Just love the way you tell these stories. Massive history geek here and I genuinely believe you would be one of those teachers everyone remembers, wonderful story telling. Edit: brought sharply back to first world problems with an advert for my diesel vehicle emissions, a strange juxtaposition
    33
  343. Wonderful selection of old photos and illustrations used in the video. Added much to the story.

  346. I've watched a few of your reports on the East End of London, I was brought up by my Grandmother in the family home since Victorian times, and both of my grandfathers were killed as a result of WW1. My Grandmother being the eldest she was the head of the house. It was originally a two-bedroom Terraced house opposite Bushes chemical works who dumped whatever everywhere, so as we Kids played on the old bombsites we were always coming home all colours. My Great Grandmother had over 20 children in that house and she raised 16 there, quite a few still living there when I was growing up. However, I never thought of being in a slum in that house it was very nice. The Only time I was miserable was in the east end, which for the most part hadn't completely disappeared Doss houses and all kinds of other types of houses were quite plentiful, I worked with many a man when I was ejected from school at 14, it was a waste of time anyway, they were all middle and a few disowned upper-class types, as teachers who did more insulting and abusing than teaching. They wanted to be there about as much as we did and at 14 time had come when the last one of them was ever going to lay a hand on me again. I was lucky after working on site for a couple of years, someone took a shine to me and gave me an apprenticeship, and sent me to college, as I'd walked out of school if you can call it that I had no education, and had to double time to get my O-Levels in time for the higher level years. For the most part I enjoyed my life in the east-end, Roman Rd market the Broadway and Bethnal Green Rd, then on Sunday going down the Lane. I ended up as an engineer and live in Canada now where my father's family came from, my sons both went to university, one is an Engineer like me and the other works for the Central Bank and is currently at Oxford doing his Ph.D, Very different lives to mine, Ducking and Diving!
    33
  347. My mother was from Edinburgh, one of 9 children living in one room. They lived in The Vennel at No 1 Browns Place, they rented the room which had originally been the Earl of Wemyss drawing room. My mother had a milk round when she was 11 years old, when my husband was doing our family tree, on my grandmothers side, we had been related to the Wemyss family a few generations back, just goes to show how times can change 😢
    32
  348. You ought to read about the cellar apartments in New York. It would turn your hair grey instantly! Truly appalling!
    32
  349. I enjoyed this very much! It was very refreshing! I feel as if I’ve watched almost every documentary on just about every era of British history. I’m so glad to have found this channel. You have content that I haven’t seen just yet.
    32
  350. Very good content ❤
    32
  351. My friend.. another excellent video We all appreciate your effort thank you.:_VictoriansPudding:
    32
  352. I live in the suburbs of DC and it's funny to think of that area, now full of government buildings, as a place where people lived. Thank you for always making my Sunday afternoons interesting.
    32
  353. My grandfather's ancestors lived in the poor parts of London. They got out of it by joining the military. I have photos of them in their uniforms in the 1800's. They looked so handsome.
    32
  354. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed it in strange way. Life was so hard wasnt it? He managed to make a good living but with all the bites from the rats he was extremely lucky to to get over them.
    32
  355. This has me crying. Omg it made my heart ache. Its reminds me of my favourite saying "Its not important that you've stood with the great, it's important that you've sat with the broken". Merry Christmas. 🎄
    32
  356. Couldn't imagine what it was like to clean boots in an era where plumbing wasnt good and horses and people pooped all over the street
    32
  357. Loved this video. I'm from Glasgow. The poverty was terrible!
    32
  358. You have the perfect voice for this. So glad I found this channel. Always await new videos. Keep 'em coming.
    32
  359. My Grandfather was born in the Whitechapel infirmary in 1886. I have learned a few things about his early life growing up in the east end. He spent much of his time going in and out of the workhouses around the old east end. Workhouse records provide details on when people entered and left. The question I ask myself is ‘Just how hungry was my grandfather each time he went in
    32
  360. THAT was eye opening. That the poor women could be FORCED to stay, by force of a husband's request is so frightening to me. Of course, the husbands could have imprisoned them in Bethlehem Hosp. instead...no wonder the Magdalene laundries continued to flourish for so long. Starvation is such a fierce motivator, I wonder if I could have stayed out of a poor house, then, with children to feed, and the wages SO ridiculously unfair, for the physical labors involved. TY for this upload, FF!
    31
  361. Oh! So that's where the word "doss" comes from! I had no idea.
    31
  362. You know it's a great day when this Gem of a channel uploads
    31
  363. Happy new year mate! I’ll be watching this one after my family’s NYE party - just wanted to wish you all th best for 2024 and to tell you how much your content means to me. It’s really helped me through some rough patches in my life. Seasons greetings, old chap ✨
    31
  364. Your narration is first class.
    31
  365. Your historical research is greatly appreciated
    31
  366. I grew up locally and it’s still commonly referred to as Stinkhouse Bridge. I’ve never heard anyone call it Bow Common Lane Bridge, which is interesting considering that’s now the official “nicer” name. It just goes to show that most people will use the original nickname even if it’s one with negative connotations without knowledge of where it came from over what feel like unnatural forced official names. Another example of this is Barmy Park instead of Bethnal Green Gardens, everyone I know calls it Barmy and won’t use the official name but hardly anyone is aware of the old lunatic asylum that was on that site which actually lead to the nickname. Great story here though, thanks for the video!
    31
  367. Yet another insight into an aspect of Victorian life and hardship largely overlooked by contemporary social commentators. I have resolved to set aside a week and listen again to the entire corpus of your channel's content. It really is an extraordinary compendium of thought provoking information, and beautifully narrated. Thank you.
    31
  368. Ah, here we are once again taking a look back in time courtesy of FactFeast, hit the like button & share.

  369. I'm loving this channel. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

  371. I learned it was a job to sift through the refuse in the street to find dog poop specifically, as it was used in the leather tanning process at that time. Can you imagine sifting through the various types of excrement in the streets to find the golden dog poop? No gloves either, of course, bare handed mucking! And mudlarking on the banks of the Thames was a great way to die of disease too. I follow modern mudlarkers here on the tube. Oh, the treasures of the past that they find! But they all wear wellies and gloves now!
    31
  372. I found this very interesting, because I come from a family that that Octavia Hill helped. She was a witness at my gt gt parents marriage, and they lived for a short while at least in one of her houses. I do not know why they left, but they were also frequently in prison or the workhouse. (My gt grandfather was born in prison) I have several newspaper reports of them, one for being drunk and disorderly, and upsetting a market table of haddock, and another about about my gt gt grandfather coming home and finding his wife lying drunk on the floor. He thought no more of it, because it happened frequently, but then a neighbour told him, that she was dead. (He was married at least three times )
    31
  373. Hey fact feast I just wanted to share with you brother that I am no longer homeless and me and my son have found a place and tonight I am eating steak inside and watching fact feast it has been a long road and things are finally looking up I have of course been working the full-time this doesn't have much to do with the channel but I just want to share with you and I am looking forward to watching tonight's video have a good evening

  375. Your preamble in the first six minutes is of the most poignant and realistic of any of the others I've so gladly enjoyed watching. You really bring in your viewer, not only with that soft leathery voice and incredible images, but also the genuine sadness you can hear in your storytelling as to the plight of these children. We cherish you very much and thank you as always.
    31
  376. Such profound despair, destitution and filthy poverty is beyond imagination, but your use of sources as descriptions invoke the sensory experience so well, that I can almost conceive the overwhelming smell of the place. Thank you, very much, for the unique insights into the social history of Britain you describe. I look forward to Sunday when you release the videos. ATB.
    31
  377. How cruel it was then.
    31
  378. Here I am, watching this from my warm, safe and comfy bed. Full stomach and cuddling my little dog. God bless those who came before us and loved through hell! I'm so humbled and grateful
    31
  379. I really like the longer video, and the work you do. I have always been interested in these time periods since reading the jungle by Sinclair Lewis about factory conditions and how horrible they were. I read that book forty year's ago, and it still sticks out in my mind. G-d bless.
    31
  380. 😊love the content keep up the good work
    30
  381. Considering the Thames back then was an open sewer, being a mudlark was truly a nasty job.
    30
  382. Some poignant art work in this vid ... TY Fact Feast for teaching us how easy we have it now days ... horrific life then
    30
  383. Today's youth have absolutely no idea of hardships... And still we don't appreciate what we have nowadays. This video, a work of art... putting together such fantastic speaking english of how it was spoken then is absolutely moving! And extremely informative!!
    30
  384. His mistake was giving the praetorian prefect Lucius Aelius Sejanus too much power which Sejanus used to wipe out most of his family members.
    30
  385. I love these videos. I know I am lucky to live where I do and for my family to be comfortable. I think if I was faced with poverty in Victorian London I would be the first to stray from the path 😅
    30
  386. It’s that time of the week where once again I’m all horizontal and extending gratitude to Facts Feast for another video that he’s dropped like a fielder who positioned at silly mid on 😉
    30
  387. Just discovered this channel a couple weeks ago. Of course, I'm rather an anglophile and fan of all things Victorian. So, needless to say, I'm very happy with this content and impressed by the quality of narration and the breadth of sources quoted. I'm also a historian by education (but not trade) so this isn't something said lightly from a non academic perspective. Excellent work, I look forward to hearing more!
    30
  388. Victorian London Street Life in photographs, London Labour and the London Poor and Street Life in London are some of my favorite books of the time period. I'm happy to find your narrations and hope to hear more from these books! Thank you for your effort..your voice is charming. :)

  389. When I was a teen I actually caught a baby woodchuck with my bare hands. I was used to handling animals and I assumed it would be as manageable as a rodent. I pinned it with my right hand and quick as a blink it flipped over on its back with more strength than I had assumed it would have and bit me between my thumb and finger. It swelled up like crazy and I still have a double scar from its top and bottom teeth. Never tried that again, but also have never met anyone who has done that either lol.
    30
  390. A whole group of my ancestors were Londoners ,Living around the east end from 1600 onwards. Towards the end of the 19h Century Many of my family ,whilst still living there were doing well but their religious beliefs compelled them to do charitable works ,and in those days were quite well known. Many a newborn baby boy was named after my 3 times great grandfather who is buried in the Wesley chapel in City road.
    30
  391. My favourite, favourite, favourite channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m Irish, and living in Cork city, but my mom’s from Chelsea, London… I watch this channel every night going to bed.. it’s a part of my routine 🥰🥰🥰
    29
  392. Your accounts are so vivid and you are a great storyteller, great episode 👏
    29
  393. I love your videos! Thanks for making them! :D ❤
    29
  394. If You ever are in NYC, go visit the "The Tennement Museum" It is an eyeopener, so is a visit of Ellis Island. Go in with an immigrant's mind, fearful, tired, worried. Don't fall into the tourist mind. You can do that on your second round. We just took the ferry and went by ourselves. I'll never forget it. The ancestor who came is on the wall there. Goosebumps!
    29
  395. yeah, reading Jack London's "The People of the Abyss" is harrowing, I'll never forget my first experience reading that, awesome vid as always! Happy New year also!
    29
  396. Felt my heart wanting to explode. Those humans just needed some help, rest and kindness in very short supply. Still see that now with the homeless population. Heart goes out to them as well.
    29
  397. For many.......The " good old days " , weren't . Wonderful content . Thank you .
    29
  398. Maids = underrated topic! Thank you!
    29
  399. Terrible conditions as always for the poorest! Great video and history 👍. People who think how wonderful it was in Victorian times! Think again!
    29
  400. Proud to be from Manchester! I work at old trafford cricket grounds and live nearby 🥰
    29
  401. I've watched a movies called The Five Points about that location in New York in the 19th century. What a rough existence! I've seen many, many pictures that Rees took. How very sad that people had to live in such poverty!
    29
  402. The lives of old performers has always been an interest of mine. So little is known or written about their personal struggles. One of them being Phillip Astley, a military veteran who put on the first modern circus in Lambeth, exhibiting his trick riding skills, along with his wife, in 1786. He added street performers - clowns, jugglers and rope walkers several years later. Although he became quite wealthy, later opening lavish theaters for horse performances, and his performance style spread to every country on earth - now named 'circus'. Countless other performers eked out livings on music hall stages and in circus rings, through wars and periods of starvation. The names of many are known, but not their life stories. I'd love to see more about the Victorian (and prior) performers.
    29
  403. Is there any information on the work houses like in Detroit in the 1930s. My dad lived in one would love to know more?
    29
  404. I am 63 and come from a large family. I still like a slice of bread with bacon grease and a little salt. The way you present the videos is great. And with that beautiful lively voice of the presenter it almost becomes real. Thank you.
    29
  405. One of the best channels on YouTube. The narration is magnificent. Keep the vids coming. Thanks from Philadelphia.
    29
  406. As a boy 3 score and 10 ago rickets,polio and scarlet fever where common,I went to isolation with scarlet fever and it was common to have friends with one skinny leg due to polio. Sadly today it's said rickets is on the increase partly because children no longer go out to play and get vitamin D from the sun,there time is inside on the internet. interesting video Sir.
    29
  407. My man!!!! You always make the most of my Sunday nights. Homelessness isn't that much different nowadays, unfortunately.
    29
  408. My grandmother and grandfather on my dad's side were married at 18 years of age in 1892. They had 12 children my dad being the youngest born 1907. Dear me one born after the other. All the children survived and my grandmother lived until she was 92.
    29
  409. Thank you for this marvelous video. I appreciate the style of narration derived from its original source. I encourage you to make more if you are so inclined. I'll bet there are so many stories of the past that have been, up to now, overlooked and full of stories aching to be told. Again, thank you very much.
    29
  410. You'd be amazing at narrating audio books, your expressive London accent makes these stories really vivid! 👍
    28
  411. Interesting that copper nails which are found in abundance on the foreshore, so much so that they are generally left there by the modern mudlarks, were such a prize in those days. The poor little mites barefoot and barely clothed out in the mud.
    28
  412. Your impression of the man gave a lot of flavor to his account! Awesome work!
    28
  413. How many of these children lived a fruitful life & what was their life expectancy. Child exploitation in Victorian England which as history has told us was when Britain was most prosperous under the rule of Queen Victoria. Props to FactFeast for bringing us the weekly blast from the past
    28
  414. I love NYC history and this was an amazing piece of work. Great photographs also!👏🏻
    28
  415. Great narration and entertaining content as always! Have a wonderful week. ✌
    28
  416. As a Glaswegian this was very interesting nearly as interesting as your accents 😂👏👏👏
    28
  417. Excellent narration and a delightful history of drunken humanity. No wonder we've not made good decisions as a species.
    28
  418. Even if you didn't have a pot to *iss in (usually kept under the bed) it was most important to keep your front doorstep spotless, or you would be gossiped about by the neighbours for being slovenly lol.
    28
  419. I love British history and you have interesting facts❤
    28
  420. ....to the land where they shall thirst no more... Very touching, reminds me to be grateful for what I have. Great video!
    28
  421. I love seeing old photographs, this really makes you realise how lucky we are. Those people lived and worked in some horrendous situations. Thank goodness for sewers, disinfectant, and hygiene.
    28
  422. Your videos have become a very happy part of my Sundays. The research and thought that goes into them really shows
    28
  423. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos, they're so well done! It's enlightening to find out how people lived back then, it really helps me to remember to appreciate the easy world I live in!
    28
  424. I know that I can give a thumbs up even before watching. I've never been disappointed. Perfect for history buffs!
    28
  425. I’m an avid documentary fan. Your narration is sublime. Thank you 🙏 I enjoy these readings very much
    28
  426. Unique content, my favourite channel on YouTube. Thank you for this forgotten history, the detailed research and the original descriptions.
    28
  427. What a hard life the working class had in Victorian London. Thanks once again @ Fact Feast!
    27
  428. I cracked open a fresh bottle of Plymouth before settling in to watch this drama unfold. Never a disappointment.
    27
  429. Your voice is gruff, unique, and nice. Very entertaining. Keep up the good work!😊👍
    27
  430. The nicest narrater I have ever heard introduce a video. So have no problem ticking a like.At least was there was no words I did not understand .
    27
  431. Absolutely fascinating mate , a belong South Shields, and found out some past family history from around this era don’t have the exact information but from memory that :Joseph price and a couple of others had been going to st hildas church in South Shields and pinching all the lead from the grave stones then selling it to a woman scrap dealer down at the quayside at the time it was all over the shields gazette and a think a bit of a scandal at the time in the area they all belonged commercial road and mill dam area the was quite a few other prices all brothers n sisters the was another one bit sad a think he was 6 yrs old caught pinching glasses from back of a pub and was up in front of the judge , hard hard times it must of been for them to survive. Thanks for this really enjoyed it
    27
  432. Another Sunday treat. I absolutely love this channel
    27
  433. Your voice is so vibrant, love these accounts x
    27
  434. Hah here we are folks transported back into time to hear about the grisly times of the early 1900’s in Victorian Edwardian London. FactFeast does it again. Hit the like button & share.
    27
  435. Thank you for another intriguing account of life in the past. It’s also nice to hear about people of the lower classes who didn’t have it extremely bad. It’s a pity that so many had to live in squalid conditions in those days. God bless them!!
    27
  436. I bought a book called The Workhouse by Norman longmate. Absolutely making me angry reading it like when I read the road to Wigan pier. Love this channel
    27
  437. Always fascinating, always presented fabulously. Thank you for your hard work in making history relatable! Kudos!
    27
  438. Amidst clogged sea of influencers and look at me videos, channels like this are so refreshing. Makes me hold out hope for the internet and what it can bring as a resource. Thank you for your hard work. :D
    27
  439. The U.S. only instituted mandatory public education to keep children from taking "adult" jobs at lesser pay. I hadn't seen much on glassworks. Excellent work, this was great. As always!
    27
  440. I love the good, bad, and the ugly of history. Absolutely amazing.
    27
  441. It's still possible to get some experience of the traditional London pie by visiting one of the few pie and mash shops still operating in London, such as Goddard's in Greenwich. The shops used to be associated with jellied eels and the 'liquor', used as alternative to gravy, was reputedly made from the fluid the eels were bolded in. The information that the fish pies originally purveyed by piemen contained eels explains a lot.
    27
  442. Thank god for Henry mayhew. These stories are so interesting, i won't say enjoyable because i feel sorry for the victims. Also the prints that accompany the stories really add to the atmosphere.
    27
  443. Good vids! You should do a small runners-up list for those who were bad, but not so bad that they warranted being on the list
    27
  444. Minute 17:08-17:50 is heartbreaking to me as a Mother. I could feel the desperation looking at the lifeless child’s body being held by their mother on a street corner. I appreciate your channel so much. The illustrations, photographs and your narration just makes one feel like they are a part of this history. Imagine the air surrounding everything, as this is something we can not share looking back. 😔
    27
  445. Where I grew up in Notts , the graveyards are full of children killed in the cotton mills . Linby & Papplewick in particular . Many died in the local mines too . Good vlog team ! As ever : )
    27
  446. I could listen to this guy read the phone book( that is if they still printed them ) Great video . peace , Be Free .
    27
  447. I work in healthcare and have always loved the history of medicine as well. Reading, and now seeing something of this on YT is such a treat! Thank you, FF;)
    27
  448. I just love this channel soo much. The voice over is perfect and really takes me to this point in time
    27
  449. God bless the souls of all those people !!!😔
    27
  450. My Sunday is now complete. 🇬🇧👍
    27
  451. It's incredible what people can survive when they have no other option. Thankyou for yet another great vid. I absolutely adore this channel.
    27
  452. its that time again to value the roof over your head, warm bed and a full belly and think just how far weve came, blinding upload again 👍👍
    27
  453. The original dreaded big C, my town suffered really badly during the famine period with chlorea, it inspired the poem "the lament of the irish peasent", thank you again for another sunday night trip in the time machine and taking us straight back in time
    27
  454. Many of these misfortunate victims of imperial expansionism that drove people from sustainable agricultural occupations into overcrowded city slums, dens of iniquity that fostered 'criminal enterprises', were transported to the Antipodes, to the notorious Van Diemen's Land/Tasmania. At the execrable penitentiary of Port Arthur, south of Hobart, in addition to the adult penal establishment there was one for boys named 'Point Puer', where reformatory conditions were so harsh that given half a chance boys would throw themselves off the cliffs onto the rocks below as the only/best method of escape from 'reformation'. Nothing 'victorious' about Germanic 'Victorian' England!
    27
  455. Thank you again for such illuminating insight into past times, fantastic emphasis on the real people's lives. Quite a stark contrast to now but somehow mirrors the struggles of many today.
    27
  456. Another outstanding video! They are always very informative and completely captivating. I truly enjoyed this video. As always, I can’t wait for the next one!
    27
  457. Always love your vids, especially ones pertaining to women's history 💜
    27
  458. as a coffee hound couldnt wait to watch this one, must have been quite a treat for the poor and a shot of much-needed energy. i ve been homeless and nothing was better at those times than a good cup of coffee
    27
  459. It is shocking that you don't have ten times, at least, of subscribers as you do now. Everyone's missing out on high class quality of education and entertainment. You're truly a setter of high standards for history channels. I'm going to stop gushing now...but I hope I will see your channel grow to the magnitude your efforts deserve.
    26
  460. This is such a wonderfully educational Channel, without being stuffy or boring. You manage to bring the history of working people to life. Very many thanks! 🥰
    26
  461. Greetings from across the pond good sir, we humbly appreciate you raising an awareness for the social disparities in other parts of the world and not just in the U.K. May we all learn and reflect on the misdeeds of the past thanks to your channel
    26
  462. I saw you posted, and physically uttered “Fact Feast posted”. I LOVE this channel. You may be the Morgan Freeman/David Attenborough of our time. Pay no mind to folks criticizing, saying your intro is excessive. There’s not a damn thing wrong with informing people about liking and subscribing, if it actually makes a difference to your business. This channel is educational, your voice-acting is beyond entertaining. You’re gonna be sitting at 150k subscriptions, possibly by the year’s end. Thank you for the dedicated work!
    26
  463. An absolutely brilliant book-in line with road to Wigan pier
    26
  464. Another superb video and absolutely chilling. I would love to see a video in which you highlight Dickens' view of London and poverty. You are one of the few people I think could do him justice.
    26
  465. Washington D.C. has and still is a dangerous place in areas. Apparently Washington was taking after London inasmuch as being a capital city with some truly squalid environs. As always this channel is wonderful and the videos brilliant! The narration is truly the icing on the cake.
    26
  466. This channel is brilliant. Such sad tales but so compelling. Thank you so much.
    26
  467. I’m stunned at the moment of money he made. £200 in 1850 was around £8,000 if not more 🧐
    26
  468. I have worked in some shady places, but nothing like this. I can not even imagine.
    26
  469. Thank you for this mind shattering insight into the workhouse infirmary’s of the past. I reeled back in absolute horror when confronted with the abominable conditions of the poor souls who had to spend time in these nightmarish tombs. My weekly awakening now complete, I will relish in the heavenly conditions for which I find myself in today.
    26
  470. The narrator's tone of voice does a great job of bringing the listener into the dark, grim, filthy world of Dickensian slums.
    26
  471. This is a great historical channel I think that everyone should watch, always highly interesting and informative. Thank you FF for all your hard work in bringing us these educational videos! 😊
    26
  472. Wonderful surprise, just walked in from work, made me some mac and tuna, and sat down to this ❤ ty!
    26
  473. You should make another channel just reading book's from writer's of this era, you do such a good job. I know some people do video's by chapter, length of time, and even the whole novel in one video. Some people aren't that talented, which in turn makes it hard to listen to, but i could see you doing quite well. G-d bless, and the best is yet to come.
    26
  474. The desperate status of a match seller reached amputees from the first World War. As a junior in the thirties accompanying a tearful grandmother handing coins to brave men. A pitifully small pension reduced men who served their country to this indignity.
    26
  475. 2:57 - Preston Street, Bethnal Green, with Meath Gardens (formerly a cemetery containing hundreds of graves of the destitute) lies beyond the two pillars - which are still there today). Fabulous history tour, many thanks.
    26
  476. Another outstanding and informative video!! It’s difficult to imagine the sheer numbers of the impoverished in those days . We would consider that an epidemic or a societal disaster in our current times. It’s absolutely shameful of the landlords who charged people so much in such a manner that they were unable to afford basic necessities after their rent was paid. I sure hope those landlords had to answer for their actions when they met their maker!!
    26
  477. The Victorians sent people on a one way ticket to Canada? Before that the English sent their undesirables to America & when the colonists started to rebel the U.K. government then started to send undesirables to Australia but I never knew about the Victorians sending people to Canada until know. Thanks Fact Feast
    26
  478. Thank you so much for this content. I have no idea where you find these videos etc, but they are incredible. This is REAL history (in my opinion). At school we're taught about battles and kings etc. This is the history of the ordinary people, I find it fascinating.
    26
  479. Love your style and scripts!
    26
  480. Fact Feast is truly one of a kind. One of if not the best!
    26
  481. I was born in Gateshead 1938 and had a very happy childhood we didn't know we were poor all the children played in the street no traffic Thank you for this nostalgic piece of history I have lived in Australia for over 50 years I used to play in the castle keep every Saturday for sixpence
    26
  482. Thank you for keeping our history alive, absolutely love it.
    26
  483. One hour old video and I have never seen this channel before and YouTube serves it up recommended style. I guess I just found a new channel to binge watch.
    26
  484. I wish history had been taught like this when I was studying it in school....you've made it come alive! I am thinking of starting a project on poverty with my own students here in Cambodia, and your videos and thorough research will be invaluable. Thank you!
    26
  485. I love the use of primary sources in your videos. Hearing people in their own words makes these stories come to life
    25
  486. Instant sub! This was informative and makes me grateful I didn't experience the Victorian/ Edwardian era(s). I'm sure everyone would agree.
    25
  487. This is absolutely fascinating, man the sewers have always been another world
    25
  488. My favourite YouTube channel! Yeah!!!😀 I just finished 'Underworld London' by Catherine Arnold and it covers crime and punishment in London through the years. It's a good read for history buffs.
    25
  489. Love how most are described as fresh complexion and proportional in build. For a bunch of criminals they were well dressed. You did a lot of research for this post appreciated.
    25
  490. I love your voice. It is very soothing. Great research and putting the video together.
    25
  491. What a hard uncaring world millions were born into in Victorian Britain. I had never heard of this man before. It's clear he rightly revered his mother to the end of his life.
    25
  492. Very interesting thankyou:)
    25
  493. Again, tales well told with illustrations that shake me out of the now and bring me back to the Victorian times.
    25
  494. The Gangs of New York is one of my favorite books (the movie is only ok) so I throughly enjoyed listening to this video and need to go back and actually watch it because the photos, that I mostly missed look very interesting.
    25
  495. Another outstanding video! I’m so glad that the gentleman gave the young man a benevolent hand. I hope that everything continued to improve for him and his family.
    25
  496. My 1920 born father used to enjoy bread and dripping, and couldn't understand how I didn't. People user to consume more fat because it was cheap. The reason people didn't put on weight is that they really didn't have much to eat and worked off what they did.
    25
  497. I'm so glad that the poor of the 19th century aren't being forgot. Kings and qweens and presidents get remembered all the time. This channel gives a real look at what life was like for everyday people. Not a fairytale. Great voice too.
    25
  498. Really enjoyed this! I find Victorian London absolutely fascinating… almost like I lived through it in a past life…
    25
  499. Thanks for this, very interesting. I found from old records that my Huguenot ancestors escaped to Bethnal Green from Le Havre in the 1680s. At that time Bethnal Green was just a village in the county of Middlesex.
    25
  500. Its strange having a "liking" for a bit to much booze, hearing these amazing stories from the real life in days gone by. Makes you realize how blessed we are to have the luxuries we have... This ranks up with the top 5 commentaries for sure. So raw and well read! Brilliant.
    25
  501. 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
    25
  502. Another fantastic slice of historic misery that really puts modern claims of poverty into perspective and as an added bonus, more excerpts from Jack London's great book "The People Of The Abyss". Thank you.
    25
  503. This has been one of my absolute favourite episodes yet!
    25
  504. Wow! That was powerful.
    25
  505. Well I can vouch that the "Murder Bay" area is non-existent in present day Washington DC, I work in Washington DC. Commute from Maryland to Washington DC daily. My route, Clara Barton Parkway to Canal Road to K Street to Pennsylvania Ave to H Street. I work at 14th Street and New York Ave, NW, one block away from "Murder Bay". A daily occurrence are Secret Service police on bicycles all along that area. My mom was a public health nurse in the 1950s in Foggy Bottom. She worked at DC General Hospital and did neighborhood outreach. That hospital was closed in 2001.
    25
  506. Thanks, I haven’t watched this one yet but I will later, I’ve noticed you have started using modern imagery. I might be alone in thinking but I much prefer the old pictures and videos. It adds more realism.. have a nice day.
    25
  507. Finley I can check off the last thing on my to do list for the weekend. I love your video's and the old pictures you show. Please keep up the great work!!
    25
  508. I don't think I've ever watched a video that shows just how awful a situation those poor children were in. The things we complain about today seem completely trivial in comparison, this video has given me a greater appreciation of just how much better off we are today. Thank you for the upload.
    25
  509. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CHANNEL, ITS GOTTA BE ONE OF THE BEST CHANNELS ONS HERE, THE REAL STORIES ARE FABULOUS AND THE SOUND OF THE NARRATORS VOICES IS JUST SUPER RELAXING, FANTASTIC CHANNLE THANK YOU 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻❤️❤️✌🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️👍🏻
    25
  510. If only there was a doorway back , a lot of my ancestors lived in these part's, one was an aqaintence of Mary Jeanette Kelly, so sad the way of things then ,i love this channel, definitely the best for informative information and knowledge of these times ,thank you so much for all the research and work dedicated to this brilliant channel 💜
    25
  511. Really enjoy your uploads .you bring history to life.
    25
  512.  @FactFeast  l live on Oak Street in Richmond House just a few steps away from Laurel Street. Wow!
    25
  513. Excellent video. These are the parts of history which interest me the most, the everyday life of the average person. I always find that people focus too much on the history of the upper class and ignore the working class despite them making up the majority of the population. Sure, rich folk tended to be behind most of the big events in history but they don't provide us with an accurate representation of society at the time. For that, you need to look at cases like these.
    25
  514. What an insightful and brilliantly executed video! Thank you for more of your excellent work!!
    25
  515. My maternal granny (born around 1912) certainly knew about hardship, as she had a grand total of 16 children! My mum still talks about how they bathed in a tin washtub, had to share bathwater & used an outdoor toilet. Being a germophobe & terrified of spiders, I could never! 😂
    24
  516. God bless to all those men and women who gave their lives for us. I hope if there are any spirits that they can move on and be reunited with their families. They are all heros
    24
  517. Love these videos!
    24
  518. Arthur had the power of his mustache to save him from the hooligans and rabble.
    24
  519. I enjoy your stories. Great vernacular.
    24
  520. Your pictures transport me to the era and location. Chilling and satisfying...
    24
  521. I find this interesting, because my family never lived in big cities, my maternal side of the family were part of the first settlers, and my paternal side have been farming in lower central michigan for over almost 200 year's. I can remember both great grandparents telling stories of the horse and wagon day's, and how much harder it was to raise cattle and grow crops. I don't know how people survived the big cities here, or in europe, but it explains the high infant and child mortality rates. My one granny had 8 siblings, the other grandma had two sister's. My grandpa had one brother, because his dad died when he was pretty young, but his mom never re married. The other grandpa had two sister's. I have never heard that any of their children dying. I can't imagine being a slum lord, making money from the most poor, while leaving them in such sub standard living quarter's. G-d bless, and another great video.
    24
  522. Love your channel. You give an insight into the reality and true history of working class people who were, and still are, the actual backbone of our country. Just look at us now after the main wave of the pandemic, our shops are not filled our petrol station not getting deliveries. Its not the so called brains (that's a joke) who keep a country going it's the thousands of working class, immigrants included 👍👍👍 who keep us going. Many other peoples from different countries am sure would have similar tales to tell. We are diverse, multi cultural and that's what makes us GREAT and Wonderful. Thanks again for great info
    24
  523. Extraordinary education. Thank you.
    24
  524. I love your voice and content! More, please!
    24
  525. What a heartwarming and compassionate tale, and it's been told so well
    24
  526. Your clear articulation in the narrative and the impersonations of various characters engross me and resound in my perceptions. Well done, Fact Feast, well done.
    24
  527. OMG, I grew up in london, i knew that way before my times life was hard. Watching this, I realised, compared to what we thought was hard, was NOTHING compared to what we were told!!!! TODAY no-one would except this level of poverty without trying to help. I pray, that NO HUMAN should be suffering like this in the 21st century, IF WE ARE, WE ARE NO BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE IN CONTROL BACK THEN!!!!!!!
    24
  528. The daily grind of searching for food for oneself is horrific enough feeding a family would be a living nightmare
    24
  529. I cannot believe this channel doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subs. I do however believe it will one day soon. It's one of the best channels on here. :_VictoriansVictoria::_VictoriansMore:
    24
  530. What a wonderful channel this is. So fascinating, detailed and skillfully constructed. Bravo my man!
    24
  531. Well. This offers some perspective to modern complaints about "dirty" cities. New York was the Lagos of the 19th century. Excellent video as always!
    24
  532. Very interesting indeed .We romanticize the Victorian and Edwardian eras (Well I do and frankly I know better ) but so much of it was truly dreadful in comparison with our current living standards .Even with the problems of the present ,i'm sure the majority of us are better fed ,housed ,educated and certainly have better healthcare than the poor did then .We at least don't tend to live in homes infested with bugs ,rats and other vermin ,nore are we likely to catch cholera or typhoid .Our food may be becoming more expensive but it's not usually contaminated or just this side of rotting .The 21st century is certainly no picnic for far too many people but it does have quite a few advantages .Wendy Langcake .
    24
  533. The story of the docker who led what was a courageous labour movement was heartbreaking, not only was he left to rot but society failed him, it was great to hear he was defiant until the end. You did his story justice, thank you
    24
  534. It’s nice to hear an inspiring story amongst the disheartening ones of the Victorian period.
    24
  535. It's still sickly unbelievable what man ( so called humans) can inflict on one another. Subscribed. Excellent video! Thank you!
    24
  536. My man! I'm loving your work. Keep up the good work!
    24
  537. These fantastically done videos are so appreciated. While heartwrenching, they're informative, engaging, and continue to greatly help me on my journey into a state of deeper and constant gratitude. Thank you kindly from Texas! 🌵☀️
    24
  538. Thanks! You are always fascinating, of the finest cut, and I'm always thankful for your channel!❤
    23
  539. This has been a very interesting time period to me. Such a very profound and clear line being drawn between those with money and the poor retched souls without. There apparently was little or no way in those days to improve your life if you were left wanting. I mostly pity the women and children of this time. I think the Victorian period of history was very dark and gloomy. Thank you for an excellent betrayal of those lives. I look forward to many more of these informative and interesting videos!!😮
    23
  540. Another not to be missed introduction to remarkable sources of social history. After listening to this account I've been inspired to chase up a copy of John Hollingshead's 'Ragged London in 1861'. However, the simple reading of it will not match the quality of your narration which really does engage the senses in bring the account to life. A most engaging and challenging education. Thank you, very much.
    23
  541. Yay!!!! Another treat, top story telling and your painstaking research to present these videos is much appreciated 👌
    23
  542. I am Latina and never really knew much about the Victorian era except for the pretty dresses and fashion. This channel has opened my eyes to the cruel reality of this time. Really a very rough life to live.
    23
  543. Yeah!!!!!!!!! I just got notification about your upload and I dropped everything!!!! I need my Sunday fix of Fact Feast!😉 I was slightly off time last week as I was on holiday in a different time zone. ...sorry...but I'll never miss your uploads
    23
  544. This was a fascinating episode. Perhaps made more so by the roaring winter storm that has been slamming into the west side of Michigan the last two days. I admit that I take coffee for granted, as do most Americans who enjoy it. Though I am not the sort to buy it by the cup at the various and numerous shops that are about. I make it at home, a half-pot daily, and a whole pot on Sunday. I could not help to consider the proliferation of coffee shops in the cities today when you were describing the difficulty coffee vendors had finding a "pitch." I also am glad that the coffee we get today isn't half chicory.
    23
  545. So sad as a child the little match girl story always made me cry especially at the end when she lights her last match…
    23
  546. I understand there is a Tenement Museum in NYC . You often send me to books and early silent movies for more information. You make history fun ! I appreciate the illustrations and all the research to find them . Thank you .
    23
  547. I love your narrating, it's got so much character ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    23
  548. What a great piece! Thank you. The Victorian era is endlessly fascinating but endlessly horrifying. Charles Dickens managed through sheer accessible style to circumvent many of the "obscenity" laws that plagued Thomas Hardy and even Charlotte Bronte. Sometimes his fiction borders on the sentimental. However, his non-fiction was much less forgiving and set up outcries throughout Britain. His fury over workhouse conditions produced the strongest writing in English on the subject, or so it seems to me. (He of course grew braver in his fiction as he aged. THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD would have been a masterpiece of mature literature had Dickens lived.)
    23
  549. To the narrator. Your voice is perfect for creepypasta. Had me hanging onto every word.
    23
  550. I cannot wait for the Christmas episodes and wrappings presents whilst Binge listening to these glorious informative and heart breaking videos
    23
  551. I can appreciate the amount of probing,and investigation that is involved in making your vlogs,which are most interesting and educational. thank you.
    23
  552. When I use to watch law and order the tombs were often referred to as. Now I know the history thank you
    23
  553. What a great voice.
    23
  554. Ive never loved in slums, however I did live in a coal patch, in an old log cabin, with only cold running water, and 4:23 a coal stove for heat. There was an outhouse in the back yard, the stench would clear your sinuses. In Summer I only visited the privy if I had too. Sometimes it was so bad that I would walk up the hill into the woods. Otherwise we were warm in our beds at night and had plenty to eat. Squirrel and rabbits taste like chicken, but we did raise chickens. In those days fashion and style were for movie stars. Oir clothes were hand me downs mended by mom and grand mom. We washed up in a small washtub when it wasn’t being used for clothes. I did have a Sunday Suit and dress shoes. Not that I went around in rags and dirty. Our little family was tight. Then Dad was killed in a mine explosion. Without a male coal worker in the family we had to vacate the company home and live with relatives for a while. I was 5 at the time and in a year I would be old enough to work at the breaker picking coal. Mom found a job, she wasn’t sending me. To the pit to work. with a brand new company, but it meant moving hundreds of miles away to a new town where an uncle lived. My Uncle co- signed for a mortgage for mom. I was amazed! We had running hit water, and an indoor toilet. No longer were we forced to buy at the company store, so money went farther. Everyone is gone now but me. My life got better after, high school and trade school. I held good jobs in the following years, married and had children. Today I am too old to work and cursed with longevity. However I savor each day breathing in each day I awake. Im poor again but not destitute. My car is 20 years old, but runs to where I need to go. What has the lord have in store for me now?
    23
  555. And, sadly, worldwide we still have children or entire families who root through the rubbish tips where they live in order to find things to sell.
    23
  556. I really enjoy these type of videos. True history is totally fascinating. I feel if more people really understood history and how things used to be, they might be more appreciative and quit whining about nonsense and their little inconveniences.
    23
  557. I'm so happy I found your channel! My Dad's side of the family live in Dublin. My Granda grew up in poverty. He left school age 7 to work so that he could help buy food for the family - he was one of 8. Id love it if you could do a video on Ireland during the Victorian era xxx
    23
  558. Thanks FF ❤❤😮😮😅😅
    23
  559. Absolutely fascinating. My wife - Japanese - and I live in Japan. The region where we live is hit by a partial lockdown and so, we are only able to work a few hours a week. My wife is a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, when we found your channel, we were amazed!!! Wonderful and interesting videos, young man!! Thank you, from a hoy, humid and steamy Japan!!
    23
  560. Awesome! I love listening to these while i do chores
    23
  561. I’m surprised the little girls living in such poverty had pinafores. It makes sense they would need them whilst playing in the mucky streets; it just seems a luxury to my modern eyes. Thanks for creating this informative video!
    23
  562. You really capture the dark mood of the 19th Century …. I could swear you’re a time traveller from way back. You just got yourself a new subscriber ! 🤩
    23
  563. I always love the way you read your videos, the voice changes and the accents, especially when you’re doing women’s voices! Occasionally, I have to rewind the video a little bit because, even though it’s a serious and sad subject... When you do one of the women’s voices I can’t help myself and l start laughing and I lose track of the storyline. I subscribed weeks ago when l first found your Channel, l’ve recommend and forwarded your videos several times. I enjoy them so much. Thank You. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  564. Another wonderful piece. It's so great to watch your channel blossom. You've put in such hard work. Keep them coming. Your narration is perfect and your voice is so unique. Thanks again for a rare glimpse into the past.
    23
  565. Another informative episode! Loved it! Who else is watching these to ease the pains of inflation as well as enjoy history? 😂❤❤❤❤❤
    23
  566. I love stories like this it's history
    23
  567. Another brilliantly narrated account of the hardship faced throughout history in London ❤️🇬🇧, the story of little Tom at the end was very heartwarming but sadly was the exception. What human’s can survive it astounding.
    23
  568. I've been watching this channel since the very first episode and I never miss one!!😊
    23
  569. Thank you for posting that. Very profound and moving, even today.
    23
  570. One of the best historical channels there is
    23
  571. Great is always Sunday night when we get to travel back in time with FactFeast H.M.P. Brixton is still in operation in this year of 2024
    22
  572. The victorians seem to be terrified by homeless people. It seems that being homeless was considered a worse crime than actual violence against the person. Poachers weren't popular either, it seems.
    22
  573. Most cities and large towns were like this in England in the 1860s. Thanks for the video. Really interesting
    22
  574. Another great vid my friend but let's be honest is London any different now? I think not 😜
    22
  575. Very interesting. I love the Victorian Era. ❤
    22
  576. I been in recovery for a very long time, by the grace of God! I have nightly heard stories of destroyed lives and families, including my own! This video and history of alcoholism in the 1800's brought back the horror! "It kept it green" for me as the slogan states!
    22
  577. What a wonderfully educational and poignant reminder of the poverty and destitution of the poor Victorian era people. We Can ameliorate this suffering now, if it is important to us.
    22
  578. I love listening at bedtime
    22
  579. A great watch before bed in me own dos house. I can only hope, as years go by with my body already old and broken, that I'm not turned to vagrancy or the like. All's well for the time being, tho.
    22
  580. Props to Mr Joseph Bazelgette for finding the solution to the Big Stink. Thanks to the indistinguishable voice that’s Fact Feast. It’s not a Sunday without a walk in the past.
    22
  581. Truly great as always. I appreciate the stories from Scotland today. I look forward to anything from Ireland. Happy Easter, Fact Feast and everyone. :_VictoriansGreetings::_VictoriansMore:

  582. I stumbled on this channel one night when grappling with severe insomnia and decided to turn on this “history-channel looking account” in the hopes the soft calm voice and black and white imagery would put me to sleep. Instead the opposite has happened. I will randomly work history I’ve learned on this channel into everyday conversations. Whenever I get a puzzled look, “betcha didn’t know THAT before! You’re welcome!” Keep up the good work handsome
    22
  583. Agree, these characters of Dickens were & still are unforgettable ... excellent portrayal of real life & I've read the story & watched several movie versions of this tale by Dickens & I've heard of Fleet Street for the yellow journalism it has produced for many years. TY for putting this together can never have enough of history
    22
  584. I couldn’t even imagine living like that. How so very depressing.
    22
  585. fascinating to learn about my home~ my dads house is one of the houses that was built for the workers; tightly packed brick street, ridiculously steep stairs, oven in summer, ice box in winter. spent my childhood in the alley between the streets. not in a gross way; there were a bunch of kids, and we'd hang out in each others yards, and we were away from the road
    22
  586. Those masks are terrifying! Well done again on another stella video. :D
    22
  587. That was very enjoyable so thank you. And thank you again for all the time & effort you put in to making these videos, researching for them must be so interesting. I think if it was me, I'd be off on numerous tangents if something caught my eye, the video would never get finished lol. Keep up the fantastic work can't wait to go on another adventure with you soon 👏👏
    22
  588. As always, great channel and very in depth analysis of the horrific treatment of children and the forlorn drudgeri of daily life and struggle of the Victorian families 🙏..and as always superb narration 👍
    22
  589. story ended too soon
    22
  590. This channel needs more subscribers. His voice combined with the content is masterful.
    22
  591. I love your work so much, really keeps me grounded in my own life when i think of it in comparison. If you released a series of all of these compiled I would buy it in a heartbeat. Many thanks to you and all those who record such things for posterity.
    22
  592. Amazing channel 💯👍🏻
    22
  593. This channel is consistently well researched and narrated. I too have been tracing my family tree (Ancestry), across Southern England. A few died in workhouses, I knew little about the workhouses until finding Fact Feast. Every video is a wonderful snapshot of times past. x
    22
  594. I was born in 82 so it's totally possible I was alive at the same time as someone that was alive when this was happening...mind blowing really how much everything has changed in 100 years I don't think we really appreciate it
    22
  595. The Have's and Have Not's. It was never acceptable then - and is not acceptable now. Thank you for consistently raising awareness! ❤
    22
  596. I’ve seen many documentaries about servants in this same time period, it was a way of survival. Very thought provoking
    22
  597. This is such a good, entertaining, educational channel. You deserve a lot more recognition than you have!
    22
  598. Yet again, we are taken back to a time when people lived in a dark and depressed way of life. But thanks to your hard work and wonderful narrative, we can be humbled, and our hearts go out to those poor lost souls. Many thanks
    22
  599. Your narration combined with pictures, I lose myself it's like being back at school. Bravo sir on your excellent work
    22
  600. it's unreal how well this guy brings history to life....
    22
  601. How horrible to live like that! And I complained for sharing a bed and a bedroom with my older brother till we were 7 and 8 years old. Back in the day poverty was much worse than today, at least in America.
    22
  602. When my grandmother Ruth (who passed on many years ago) was a little girl, her family lived in Boston. They came over from France before her birth. They fell on very hard times and were quite poor for a generation or two. Ruth's baby sister cried quite a lot, (poor baby was hungry and cold, I'm sure) well she cried so much that she was ignored for a couple hours here and there regularly. One morning they found the baby girl dead, she had been killed by rats. This deeply affected my grandmother all of her life. Well, I have gone and myself start crying now... I really love your videos, the stories and pictures take me back in time and I feel like I am there briefly. (Oh, I think the year Ruth's baby sister died was about 1927.)
    22
  603. This is the content that I want recommended to me.
    22
  604. I learn SO much from this channel. It also feeds my inner histroy junkie.
    22
  605. Hello! I love your videos, they've offered me greater insight into Victorian society, especially the lesser talked about parts. Could you perhaps make a video about the life of students at universities and colleges during the Victorian era? The subject seems to fall either in romanticising the appearance of Victorian schools, popular today with so called "dark academia" or feature in horror novels as dark and scary, such as in M.R James' works.
    21
  606. New subscriber and happy to have found such an interesting, well done channel!
    21
  607. I really don’t understand how people survived. Life was so hard! Honestly! How did they endure?! It must have been a living hell!
    21
  608. I really wouldnt call Tiberius "Evil" its always a thing of the perspective
    21
  609. I love these Victorian videos!
    21
  610. Booth said that the Moss Alley area of Southwark (Bankside) was one of the poorest places in the whole of London. My Grandfather was born there.
    21
  611. Horrifying. Thank you for shining a light on the dark side of history.
    21
  612. Thanks for doing an Edwardian post. I couldn't live on that food I don't think. Typical of do gooders that they give suggestions for optimum foods and drinks not taking into account the cost of them for a regular family budget. I really can't imagine eating so much bread and potatoes so much especially because they weren't being mashed to give some variety. You get used to anything if that is all you know.
    21
  613. Thanks so much for sharing these pieces. I have trouble with eye strain, so reading primary sources can become an issue for me, but there's really no substitute for it. So these videos make history that much more accessible to me, it's appreciated 💚
    21
  614. Keep them coming....I love having a walk around the area after watching your videos it brings so much more meaning to what I see knowing a bit about it's history.
    21
  615. I’ll never look at Mary Poppins chimney sweep dance again the same way . Dick Van Dyke was cheerfully dying .
    21
  616. My beautiful grandmother was born in the slums of east London in 1901. Her blessed Soul was with us until 2008. The utter destitution and poverty is unthinkable to modern sensibilities. Grandma's hell was added to by a drunk reprobate dock worker for her Father. Neglect of his responsibilities for alcohol was further exasperated by his tendency to impregnate his wife in between beatings. Upon giving birth to a 7th child, born into utter despair. My poor great grandmother bundled herself up with the newborn to her breast and walked to the closest bridge crossing the Thames. She stoically walked to the center and threw herself with child into the icy water. The Salvation Army rescued the children and sent them to Canada. My mothers side of the family, my grandmother's side holds Williams Family reunions every 5yrs at a Salvation Army property retreat. The gentlemen that adopted grandma has well over 200 direct descendants. Most are Salvation Army members who serve. They are humble working class salt of the earth Human Beings actualized.
    21
  617. I am from the Southern US; my forebears, however were from Pembrokeshire and Swansea, Wales, and County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. But I am an unrepentant Anglophile, and my wife says I was born out of place and time, that I should have been happy as a detective in Victorian England. That's how well she knows me. I hereby unashamedly profess my love of your channel.
    21
  618. You have a brilliant story teller's voice! Thanks for the great research and the effort! We forget that Downton Abbey and My Fair Lady are way too romantizised! Greetings from Berlin Germany 🤗❤️👍🇩🇪
    21
  619. I love Edinburgh. I'm from Dublin and I've been 3 times. The history is fascinating, cruel and foul yet curious. The city steps and architecture are a creepy girls dream. My ugly Disneyland. Adore the place. Hope I'm not insulting anyone. Great video. I'll share with my brother.
    21
  620. Love these stories! Thank you so much!🥰
    21
  621. I've been silently lurking for a few months now, binge watching all your videos. All I want to say is: THANK YOU! I never get tired of the topics you cover and I love that you use contemporary reports! Keep it up!
    21
  622. There's a. novel called A Child of the Jago by Arthur Morrison. It was written in 1896 and is set in the Old Nichol where family of his previously lived. It was written kind of as a realistic response to Oliver Twist (there's no happy ending, for example, and it's almost relentlessly grim). I recommend it if you're interested in the subject. Also People of the Abyss by Jack London. That's a journalistic report of his travels around East London as a 'pauper' at about the end of the nineteenth century. An early form of embedded journalism. Old Nichol itself was hell on earth from all descriptions I've read of it, including this video.
    21
  623. Your voice has such a lovely quality and your narration is fantastic. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I live in Ireland and was a tour guide for several years, so I really appreciate the effort put in and how history can be told in an entertaining way. Keep up the good work!
    21
  624. I am glad you showed the photos of the women killed in factories so that their sacrifice will not go unknown.😢
    21
  625. Great video! I'm sitting here, in Orphan's Tear, whilst the snow falls. Next to my pellet stove the night air is nice and relaxing, but that could not have been such a pleasant existence, leaving before daylight to chop ice for a few pence to eat with. We have it pretty good, but they survived, most likely a hearty people.
    21
  626. That voice combined with the imagery provided lets bright imaginations run wild with how hard and destitute life was in that place and in that era.
    21
  627. I still remember my Granny’s tenement dwelling on Leith. There was a vinegar factory at the end of the road so when we arrived by black taxi on a visit from Kent the smell of vinegar was endearing to me as it meant we were soon at beloved Granny’s. This was Tennant Street - all gone now x
    21
  628. Very good post. These poor souls. RIP
    21
  629. Crawlers, toshers, dossers now duffers. What colourful language they had in Victorian times. Love the etymology!
    21
  630. My Sunday was tedious and unpleasant. This puts things into perspective. Thanks for the (as always) great work!
    21
  631. Thank you for sharing.
    21
  632. If I had a licorice hard candy for every one of these videos Ive enjoyed, I might well have a cavity by now.
    21
  633. It was ever thus,my aunt reared 6 sons in ' wan room an a kitchen' after her husband was killed in action in 1944. All are retired now but she pushed them into 3rd level education, a hard Donegal lass.97 this year and no sign of decline,much feared and much loved.
    21
  634. What a treat when Fact Feast uploads on a Sunday afternoon.
    21
  635. Yeah!!! My favourite YouTube channel. You've just made my day. I was always curious about why they were called dustmen.
    21
  636. Thank you for the grimy tour through history
    21
  637. My 2nd great grandpa was a police Bobby in London, his wages ensured they lived a decent life during Victorian times, he later went back to Ely in Cambridgeshire when he retired.
    21
  638. Wonderful voice. Wonderful narration.
    21
  639. Nice video, great editing, this could be broadcast in television
    21
  640. I live 960 metres from Whitecross Street. It's crazy to hear about quite how it was, when now it's the home of a trendy, boujee and expensive food market for nearby city workers.
    21
  641. That ended so sweetly. I cried a little. Thank you for that, and all the stores you have narrated.
    21
  642. I loved this. As a student at the LSE in the 1990s, all of the street names were familiar - my halls was on Charlotte Street, I walked daily to class along New Oxford Street. Never had a clue of the history. Thank you, really.
    21
  643. What a wee gem of a channel I've discovered here. Going to be binge watching your back catalogue until I catch up. Keep it up.
    21
  644. Yay! Native Angeleno here and so happy you are covering LA!
    21
  645. In the 1930's they were also experiencing the Great Depression, I think it was all over Europe as well as the United States, there weren't very many jobs during the Great Depression, so the men had to do what they needed to do to survive. Even in the United States, many people had to live in shantytowns called Hoovervilles, not only did the stock market crash in 1929, but they also had the dust bowl, and I'm sure it was the same hard times in Great Britain. It's really sad to see that these men, just wanted to have a job, support their families, but unfortunately during those times, there just weren't enough jobs to go around. There might have been one job and you have 50 or more men fighting for the same position. Also, they didn't have any help from the government either.
    21
  646. Imagine carrying water all the way to the top floor!
    21
  647. Thanks FF love your voice i was wondering if you were going to post
    21
  648. Makes me thankful for what I have.
    21
  649. My great grandfather, a journeyman painter, died in Newcastle in 1900 of apoplexy. His wife, mother of six of his eight children, died in the Durham Asylum in 1904. Six months later my Gran, then aged eight, was taken up by Barnardos at the request of her aunt, having basically run wild in the streets of Newcastle for that period while her two older sisters tried to eke out a living as laundresses. In 1920 she gave birth to my mother out of wedlock in the Greenwich Union Workhouse infirmary. In 1924, aged four, mum was still in workhouse care...the good old days eh?
    21
  650. I absolutely love your channel. I’m fascinated by this era, in and around this area and the lives of the people who lived through it all. It’s hard to imagine this being possible in a period not really even that long ago. Keep up the great content in the great way you do with the amazing stories from the actual mouths of the people themselves.
    21
  651. Best video yet. Compelling photography by Jacob August Riis, my favorite social reformer of New York. Worth getting the book and matching up the locales with a modern street map to see how it is now.
    21
  652. Might I make a request - Can we eventually get one on the underground and tunnels of 1800's San Francisco
    21
  653. Great video. The Public House was a way for pitmen could clear their throat from the pit dust. In the days of the spit buckets, I can remember my grandfather spat on the fire, mixture of coal dust and alcohol. Yes, quite true that alcohol was their main recreation, and the women and home was their hardship really. The men would spend all day in the boozer and give the women a little to buy food and rent, very much a Catholic trait of the man being the head of the household. I'm not saying anything negative with Catholics. George Owel picked up on this in his publication Road To Wigan Pier. A lot of working classes didn't appreciate George Owel and was considered antisocial. This may have been his middle class background and didn't trust him in that respect within the actual working classes. George Orwell found the worst places, in the doss house. It would be a great shame for a man in those times to loose his job, and not be able to support is family, they had a benevolent fund among themselves, and their community was very close... so they'd take care of each other in that respect. The doss house was when noone else would take them in. So, for some reason they'd been outcasts from their community.
    21
  654. I absolutely LOVE this channel. Thank you.
    21
  655. The vocal presentation makes me feel like actually being transported to those times, awesome my friend
    21
  656. Beautifully narated as usual. What a lovely last story..Tom got his wish..a home and a mother. 💝
    21
  657. Those poor souls it’s just unfathomable into days world. I know children still go without in London today but back then it was brutal.
    20
  658. I so enjoy learning new things. Your videos never disappoint. Both men and women made sacrifices during the war.
    20
  659. What an eloquently told story but such sorrow within those words..It didn't take long for the reverend to understand and thus gain compassion for the plight of those men..But yet in modern times people treat homeless people as if they are a plague..There is very little willingness to understand and even less compassion.. No one should have to go hungry or without a roof over their heads,in my opinion that is a failure of those who govern..
    20
  660. Another wonderful episode! Thank you.
    20
  661. I do love your channel and baffled that there isn't more subscribers,views,comments or thumbs up,I can't wait to see you blow up
    20
  662. 2:19 If you listen close, it's like...someone is screaming.. Yee,I got noticed :D
    20
  663. Merry Christmas Fact Feast. I love to hear and read about things from the 1800's to the early 1900's. Thank you! ❤❤
    20
  664. Thank you for your introduction to and narration of these inspiring historical resources. Is this an extract from 'In Darkest England and the Way Out' by Booth (1890)? Booth himself suffered from the despair and impoverishment of long term unemployment.
    20
  665. Your voices are priceless!!!
    20
  666. Thank you for narrating these unique resources. Now, a brutal narrative about just how cheap life was in Victorian London. Over thirty years ago, as an archaeologist, I participated in the excavation of the common grave death pits associated with the Bedlam Hospital buried under the concourse of Broad Street Station. Your narratives bring to life the depravation of the remains we uncovered and gives a empathic human dimension to places such as the mortuary built under Tower Bridge (aka dead Man's Hole), Dead Man's Dock, Deptford and Dead Man's Stairs, Wapping. Again, thank you.
    20
  667. The narration is, probably, the absolute best I have ever heard. The subject is cool too. Well produced ... subscribed!
    20
  668. Thank you for putting a face on them...they deserve to be known
    20
  669. I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel - my only subscription! The quality of content and production is perfect. What a great voice! Thank you!
    20
  670. Always fascinating and always impeccably produced.. My absolute favorite YouTube channel of any sort, not just history.
    20
  671. I love listening to your stories. They are so lovely and sad at the same time.
    20
  672. I had heard of Octavia Hill, but didn't know anything about her. What an incredible woman. We need more people like her in the world
    20
  673. Love this channel!
    20
  674. We need a lot more focus on a place simply called "The Old Brewery", one of the most notorious and evil slum buildings in NY history - originally called the Coulthard Brewery, originally built in the late 1700's but later closed and turned into one of the most dangerous and evil crime ridden tenement houses in the history of NY. People went in and never came out, police would not enter it in forces of less than 50 officers if they entered it at all. Home to the original Murderers alley, the source for the phrase den of thieves, prostitutes, shang hai's, rape, robbery, incest, bodies hidden in basement graves and walls, etc etc.
    20
  675. Absolutely loving your videos, well researched and a perfect voice to narrate im surprised you don't have much more followers, gibe it time though!
    20
  676. As always, another amazing video!!😊
    20
  677. I live in a flat directly across from the well in Canongate which she describes. Looking out my window picturing the people that would have amassed there 160 years ago.
    20
  678. Shades of Sherlock Homes! "The Man with the Twisted Lip." The story of man supposedly murdered by a beggar who is, in reality, the same man in the disguise of that beggar. He made a better living begging, and lived in a large villa in Lee, than he did working as a banker in the city but, naturally, hid this from his family and respectable associates. Thanks for providing the real narrative, it's far more revealing.
    20
  679. My father was part of the "Bowery boys" gang back then. He wrote a book about those times.
    20
  680. Oh my I never new it was this bad. We should always be grateful. New here, stumbled across this and it's great.
    20
  681. Very interesting channel. I look forward to perusing many more of your videoed. May I ask if you do your own narration? Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos

  684. Another amazing video. Love this channel.
    20
  685. I always had a very romantic idea of the Victorian age ,and fancied myself a part of that age .But these videos bring the truth of the time to me . Love your content as always .
    20
  686. Liked and subscribed..never heard of these poor souls
    20
  687. Last part of my research cause of cholera outbreak in London soho district because of contaminated water from broad street pump . There were 23 , 000 deaths for all of Great Britain in 1853- 1854. Soho London killed 127 people in three days and in 616 within month . Cholera called blue death as dehydration lacked body , blood would begin to thicken in patients,veins , starved of oxygen their skin would turn sickly shade of blue . Majority of London homes were built without flush toliet. It’s really misery in victorian . We too in Arabic countries especially gulf areas in 1930s Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain have small pox as pandemic many died or have scars on their faces lost their eyes from that infectious disease. Plague was global pandemic as I heard from my mother told me from her grandmother and numerous people died from that pandemic. Good luck to you your dearest ones .
    20
  688. For some reason I have always been fascinated with the Victorians, even as a child so thank you. 👍
    20
  689. Last part of my research in addition their wages they were provided with meals and clothes accommodation was often given working in service provided opportunities for servants to progress professionally through hard work thrift little luck greatly majority of female domestic servants get married about 25 years old victorian age 1800 called maid scullery the maid performed most strenuous tasks in kitchen such as mopping scrounging surfaces cleaning dishes. Hannah cullwick born in 1833 died in 1909 she was diarist who wrote about relationships between Victorian servants their masters worked her life as maid servant in 1854 she met Arthur munby man of two world upper class author poet with lifelong obsession of law class women began their strange secret romance for eighteen years marriage she wrote diaries written on munby suggestions offer absorbing account of life blew stairs in Victorian England these diaries are remarkable historical document thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students stay safe blessed best wishes for you your family friends.
    20
  690. Thank you for another terrifying peek behind the curtain of poverty. Your narration in incredible.
    20
  691. Since it's 35°C out here, this video is actually refreshing. In an unfortunately vicarious way. This channel never disappoints. Bravo!
    20
  692. Thank you Fact Feast. That was so interesting and educational.
    20
  693. Absolutely frightening times, just struggling to live in such appalling conditions. Though seemingly far removed from this period, I sometimes wonder just how far when looking at today's increasingly difficult social living. Many thanks again for a some what timely edition, I feel.
    20
  694. The coarsest order of prostitutes? Well best avoided then. Thank you for another smashing history lesson. I'm a Londoner and frequent most of the parts of it that you talk about. Thank you Sir!
    20
  695. All the slums in Whitehaven got pulled down in the middle 1960s, if you can get a book called The Ginns of Whitehaven by Colin Mccourt (I know him personally) or any other books by Colin Mccourt, its about the run down areas of Whitehaven and well worth a read, I enjoyed this vlog, please keep them coming, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
    20
  696. That ending.. oh man, I genuinely have tears in my eyes. Thank you for making your videos, they're fantastic!
    20
  697. The German rockets are a creepy sound!
    20
  698. Imagine sifting through the dust and finding a gold sovereign!? The amount of drink that could purchase!
    20
  699. There's a few narrators that I love like Patrick Stewart, Morgan Freeman, Mike Myers and of course Fact Feast!
    20
  700. Nice to see there were people in those horrid times for the poor who cared and did their best to make real change in their lives.
    19
  701. I always look forward to Sundays, when you release new videos! It's become kind of a ritual , having Brunch and watching another enjoyable and educational post.
    19
  702. Love the Scottish accent haha awesome. My fathers side come from Mayo and scottish. for some reason this made me think on the poverty my Irish ancestors felt when the escaped the famine to come to Sunderland & Durham. there's a sayin in my family that they were that poor they ate grass on arrival.
    19
  703. Fact Feast -- I'm in absolute love with your channel. The way that you can describe every single detail, we can easily see the poverty, hear the despair in the voices of the poor families, and smell the horrid scents. Not too many authors can do that, but you can do that with ease. You take us on a journey to the periods of time, and we love it. This is what makes you above other channels that upload the same content. Please keep up the phenomenal work!! Stay safe and aware of your surroundings, take care of yourselves and those around you, and God bless all of you, and your loved ones.

  704. This was beautiful. I hadn’t realized how awful I usually feel, after taking these stories in. (The “terrible” ones are very important, so we won’t forget how we came to enjoy our present, comfortable lives.
    19
  705. Intense stuff, surviving and learning to make a living, either side of the Atlantic.
    19
  706. You have such wonderful videos
    19
  707. Please sir can i have some more facts feast. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
    19
  708. Thank you. As ever, very informative of social conditions either largely forgotten or overlooked in the modern world. Wives legally bound as chattels in servitude to their feckless husbands and a contemporary analogy of that condition with enslavement. A valuable insight into the collective consciousness and class structure of Edwardian society. Are Margaret Neverson's accounts of life amongst the poor and destitute collated in a particular source?
    19
  709. I look forward to these videos as much as I do the old funny shows like: Are You Being Served, Last Of The Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances, and the like. Love it! If I were born a century ago or more I’d probably have been keen to move to England like Ben Franklin wanted to do. I love all things British!!!! They have the best musicians of all times too!

  710. These places carried on well past the Victorian era. My mother lived in a single room in the 1930s with her 5 sisters and parents. No hot water, and the toilet was outside, 3 floors down.
    19
  711. I love listening to these videos. No wonder people was sick the filthy homes, streets an air
    19
  712. The slums in London could be divided into several different groups. ●Pre industrial revolution housing (10:00 for example), they dated from before the massive growth of London. ●Older larger houses, that were originally built for respectable working class or middle class residents, but had later been divided into single rooms for the poor. (Fournier St/Wilkes St/Princelet St between Brick Lane and Commercial Street in Whitechapel are good examples of originally middle class house's that were slums by the late 19th century with several families in each house). ●Terraced houses that were quite well built, and had been designed for single families, but had later been divided into one or two rooms per family. Built from the beginning of the industrial revolution onwards. (0:40 is a typical example of higher quality terraced houses). ●Terraced and back to back houses that were built badly from the start, using poor quality materials and were badly maintained by the landlords. They were built from the beginning of the industrial revolution. They often had just a single room per floor and some had no backyards and they were built in narrower, more densely built streets and courtyards. (1:07 is a courtyard, built as a cul de sac at a right angle from the wider main street, the entrance would have been an alley or a narrow archway). The list above is not exhaustive but gives an idea of the housing available to the poor in Victorian times.

  713. Love your content, FF!
    19
  714. Love this channel ☘️
    19
  715. Before the North End of Boston was gentrified, I lived in an ‘apartment’ there. Every room had a doorway to the hall, which were sealed, the bathroom was a water closet. I realizes the space I had to myself probably housed a couple of families when it was built. It was a sobering thought
    19
  716. A new video! Thank you for making such great historical content. I look forward to your videos and watch your other videos all the time. Great way to start my Sunday evening. Thank you ❤
    19
  717. thank you for reminding me that while I live ,"below the poverty line", I can be greatfull for a place to sleep and food etcetera.
    19
  718. Love these videos fantastic narration can you imagine being there not that long ago scarily!
    19
  719. It’s that time of the evening when we are taken back in time by FactFeast & the history of the traditional British pie. Thanks
    19
  720. The man fixing his mates hair.."He was proud of her" that made me cry like a baby. 🥺
    19
  721. Healthy poor people are seldom a priority for those with power and privilege. Splendidly done as always.
    19
  722. I often just listen to a video, peering up now and then, while working on some piece. Your narration is very enjoyable and kind to the ears. I have subscribed, and just after two videos!
    19
  723. I’m currently listening to the audio book, “The Victorian City” by Judith Flanders. It’s about a 16 hour audio book but it’s kept me on the edge of my seat thus far. I adore, and am intrigued in the Victorian era. Your voice is very soothing and yet your inflection at times makes me feel like I’m at a play. It’s fantastic! Keep up the good work.
    19
  724. Your narration voice an drawings bring it to life ... such a hard life
    19
  725. yes yes and yes, these great hulks where the things of nightmares and again youve done an amazing job transporting us straight up on deck!! one of the last prison boats HMS AL RAWDAH was moored just off my town in the 1940s it housed I.R.A. interness
    19
  726. Large numbers of people would spend their days sleeping in parks and on verges instead of looking for work. The reason for this, for the most part, was not alcohol or apathy, but because they could never get any sleep at night as the police kept moving them on. Institutional stupidity a its very finest.
    19
  727. If I remember well, Charlie Chaplin was in workhouse at some.point when he was a child? Terrible thing
    19
  728. I watch all these videos and wonder how so many suffered so much during such booming years of wealth in the great empire under Victoria. Quite a disgrace
    19
  729. I found this to be interesting, but sad, the Victorian times were rough for these folks. You did excellent research for this video and it's very respectfully done.
    19
  730. This man's voice and range are phenomenal
    19
  731. This was most interesting .I am used to hearing about the clearing of tenements from the inter war years up to the 60s but not about them at the beginning of their lives ,when they were obviously considered quite an improvement in many respects .I can quite see how a tiny 2 up 2 down with a little yard would be preferable to many though .
    19
  732. as usual - a GREAT video, thank you so much, always a treat
    19
  733. I love your videos! You have a way of narrating that makes me feel like I am there, back in the past, watching the story unfold.
    19
  734. I really look forward to your fab videos, they're very informative. 🇬🇧
    19
  735. The court systems were no joke. The sentences were extreme in 90% of the cases, especially the children. Another thing I found interesting was the height of the men & women. Most of the men were 5.5 to 5.7 feet tall. The women were even shorter ranging from 4.7 to 5.3 feet tall. There was one woman who was almost 6 feet tall. This is my first visit to your channel and this video was very interesting indeed. I will be looking at more in the future.
    19
  736. This is a bit later but I do wish you would cover the great rent strike in Glasgow in 1915 from I believe March to December, 1915? They passed a tenet law after that. How the poor were prayed upon!!! 😢😢😢😢😢
    19
  737. love this channel ❤️
    18
  738. Wonderfully researched and narrated! Would love to see more videos on American experiences during the Industrial era
    18
  739. London is basically one gigantic graveyard at this point.
    18
  740. 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.
    18
  741. Love this channel. I grew up in Tower Hamlets and it’s fascinating to hear the stories about what it used to be like. I also bought Jack London’s People of the Abyss because of your earlier videos. Great stuff
    18
  742. Awesome. Great to see another one on Scotland. Loving this. I swear these stories makeme appreciate what I have so much more.
    18
  743. Love this channel, thank you 👍
    18
  744. Your voice narration is extraordinary. It really sets the mood, and makes it a very immersive video. Whenever I have a hard day of work at my factory, I watch videos like these. Call me silly; but it puts things into perspective and makes you thankful for the things that you DO have........ which these poor, unfortunate people certainly did not. Well done!!
    18
  745. Beautiful, powerful, and moving. I wish it would touch the hearts of those who need to hear it most. Government officials squabbling like kindergartners just trying to get one over the opposing party while they forget about the people they're supposed to be serving.
    18
  746. One of the most interesting channels. Thank you for your fascinating uploads
    18
  747. I learned a lot from this channel and I like the way it’s presented.
    18
  748. Hmm, I am sure some of the rats grew to a very large size. All and all a horrible thought, thank you I enjoyed your narration immensely!
    18
  749. He was born Lucius Septimius Bassianus but his father septimius severus changed his name to Marcus Aurelius Antoninus to connect his family with that of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
    18
  750. I truly appreciate your efforts in providing me with this wonderful content. Not only is the subject matter interesting but your voice really adds an essential layer to the experience. Learning about the lives regular people of the past is far more entertaining than the lives of the rich. Additionally, the fact that you do not embellish the subject matter is also very refreshing. I wish you continued success. Thank you!
    18
  751. Great video thank you. Hard lives but great people. My gran & grandad were both from this era. They were very hard up yet they had such a strong family life as well as love for other people, neighbours had the same values also. So many don't appreciate things half as much these days. I used to hear the best stories & I'm blessed with so many memories of these stories. Ps, you'd be great at narrating audiobooks too, you have the voice for it; I know I'd be grippped!
    18
  752. The slum parts in USA looks alot like London in the 1800s parts of London was horrific Annmarie UK
    18
  753. Manchester 😊 love this ❤ Oldham is the dampest so the cotton mill thrived
    18
  754. I don’t know how I found this channel but grateful I did. It’s fantastic. 👍🏼 Poor kids..😔 They had NOTHING. These are so interesting. They’re babies. Mom of 3 here 😩 Breaks my heart. Life was rough on everyone, but I can’t imagine being a child in deep poverty and no social help but for asylums or evil orphanages.
    18
  755. A voice simply perfect for narration. Great upload as always.
    18
  756. I remember as a boy finding a book of Victorian photos of the Glasgow slums, Tollcross and the Gorbals most of the pictures where from and they left an indelible impression on me. The faces of those people I can see everyday as I walk down the street. Once Glasgow built 3 quarter's of the ship's at sea and was the second city of Empire, an engine house of the world and all of that potential still lives in the people.
    18
  757. When I was a boy in Chicago there were still a few "shoe shine boys" around making money in that trade. Newspaper deliver was also still a job for youth. Both of these jobs are now done exclusively by adults, the former typically has a stand at a transportation hub, such as a train station or airport, while the latter is done by adults in cars.
    18
  758. My family settled during WW1 when the two eldest sons went to war, the 3rd, my grandfather, was too young at around 10. Sadly Peter was killed around Ypres and is buried near Calais and John was killed at the Somme and never found. It broke my grandmother and they never travelled again. My Great Grandfather was i believe a traveling engineer, who had a bow top living wagon and an engineers wagon (like a railway goods truck but smaller) towed behind, he travelled from Cumbria to Glasgow twice a year to match up with spring sowing time and harvest time as he would fix the machinery. Ive always had the wandering spirit as kids we moved at least once a year up to age 11. I became a professional gypsy by joining the military in my 20's when settled life was getting too much.
    18
  759. Waited a long time for Jack Black...not much epitomizes the bad side of 19th century London more than the rats. Thank you!
    18
  760. For the brilliant content you do, I don't think the name of your channel conveys the unique topic you cover in the Victorian Era itself. I would suggest that you should change the channel name to something more related? Just my opinion, may or may not help. You work hard and produce excellent content you deserve more subs.
    18
  761. I can't help but wonder how bad prison must have been, given what they were willing to endure to avoid it. Would love an episode on prison-life.
    18
  762. Wow!!! I just found your YouTube site and subscribed within seconds of seeing your content. I was always fascinated by the Victorian and Edwardian periods and criminal elements of that era. I have seen videos scattered about on various websites but nothing as detailed as yours. Great stuff, and keep those videos coming!!!
    18
  763. Happy to have Discovered this Site 💥 Enjoy the Historic Content 💥
    18
  764. wow, thank you for sharing this. I had no idea it was this bad outside of the larger cities. My grandfather was born in Indian in the 1930s, but he was on a farm. My other grandpa lived during the Dust Bowl. That would be an interesting time to look at as well.
    18
  765. Just want to say I enjoy your narration and content about history. Topics like these can be difficult to research, so your channel helps a lot for my studies. Great work!
    18
  766. I really like these videos - very unique style, great narration, one of a kind.
    18
  767. Uploaded at the perfect time! I was needing motivation to clean my apartment. Suddenly motivated and grateful for our modern comforts and free time! Thank you!
    18
  768.  @FactFeast  Yes, it was called the ‘Mount Edgcumbe’ Training Ship.
    18
  769. Always love your offerings. Thank you for all you do, your channel is unique and exquisite. ❤
    18
  770. 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.❤
    18
  771. Fantastic as always .watching these videos makes me realise how clever and smart people really are , and what a wast of all that talent and ingenuity there was in 19th century london ,because of poverty and lack of education. Some things never change . Very enlightening and informative as always 🇮🇪👍
    18
  772. Thanks ff❤
    18
  773. Your channel reminds me of the times when TLC and History channel wasn't trash. Thanks dude.
    18
  774. I listen to this while going to sleep. It helps me relax.
    18
  775. I am so very grateful for my life. Thank you for this interesting and informative video.
    18
  776. Your voicework is getting better and it was already great to begin with!
    18
  777. My great great great grandfather was the first omnibus driver in Radcliffe around the turn of the century
    18
  778. Sad times indeed for the common man. Those were the times when labor unions benefited people, I don't have a family, and I can't imagine providing for one on barely a pauper's wages. Sad to hear of people dying before old age, but maybe that was the merciful way out. Great presentation 😊!✌️
    17
  779. I absolutely Love your truly unique narration Fact Feast❤ Thank you for yet again another trip back in time. So hard to believe that those events are not that far back! How time flys.😊
    17
  780. This might be your best one yet! The length, the mood and the flavor and the different vocal inflections, all terrific. Although to be honest I have a very hard time following the meaning of different phrases as they flow one after another. It's like sitting down to read Wuthering Heights or something, you'd need to re-read passages to figure what the hell they're talking about. The auto-generated captions are hilariously wrong! But yeah great video, I appreciate what you do and I believe you're getting better. I'm always amused by the signature abrupt endings.
    17
  781. Read the book years ago..I consider it one of the best things he ever wrote. Thanks..you really bring his words to life.🇬🇧
    17
  782. In the 2005 BBC adaptation of Dickens’ “Our Mutual Friend,” I first saw the depiction of a dust heap. It seemed so unpleasant that I had to look it up to see if it was a real thing. It was! This video’s descriptions of the people and the place tell the backstory. Excellent! The BBC show was a great way to spend some time during the Covid lockdown!
    17
  783. when you think that in 1831 they had to introduce an act to make sure children didnt work more than 12 hours a day it truely highlights how woeful childrens lives where, my great granny was the mill "rapper-upper'" and her 3 children also worked in the mill, thanks again for holding up the looking glass and taking us into our pasts!! 👍
    17
  784. Excellent video! This channel gets only better
    17
  785. Thanks fact feast I've learned a whole lot! Love your content. You've brought back a few memories, I remember my grandad telling me how his family would carve turnips every year and take them while "guising". In England we call that vegetable a swede, and in Ireland it's called a turnip... Very funny indeed. Have a good night!
    17
  786. My partner’s Father was born in the 266 Elizabeth St building shown in the beginning of this video!
    17
  787. Excellent storytelling thank you.
    17
  788. Here I am with a history degree, having never heard this before. Thank you so much for educating me today. Those poor blighters!
    17
  789. My favorite channel - I look forward to this distinguished voice every Sunday!
    17
  790. A much enjoyable treat.
    17
  791. Great job as always my friend
    17
  792. My Sunday evenings are complete when attending to the stories by FactFeast.
    17
  793. Thank you for the history about London I really appreciate watching this.
    17
  794. Very interesting story, and great narration! I could almost feel myself there
    17
  795. Wonderful narration as always. People now don't realise how bad it was for the average person. Needs to be taught in schools and the way you tell it would make it interesting for students. Reality check is needed nowadays for sure.
    17
  796. Fascinating, and beautifully done. Thank you.
    17
  797. Maybe the best of your videos yet, or so i think as i was totally unaware of the children slave labour TRAFFICKERS... It would be amusing to list the names of the high society rich who made their start amassing ££££££ this way...
    17
  798. Another good one, Fact Feast!
    17
  799. Thank you for another intimate insight into Britain's social history. I do appreciate the narration of the original historical sources as being highly evocative of the era and social conditions. Did this account originate in the London Illustrated News?
    17
  800. This was so interesting! I learnt a lot as I had to keep pausing so I could Google certain things. 😂. The cat's meat worried me, but I found out its meat for cats, not the meat of cat's! 😂. I love all things Victorian. Great video! 👍.
    17
  801. Your best narration yet! It was really sad what these women want through living a life in poverty and shame.
    17
  802. Really brings history to life. Great job, thank you!
    17
  803. I am learning so much about Victorian history thanks to your awesome channel . Living in America people don't talk much about the era. Thank you I am sick 😷 and listening to your channel I feel better.😊
    17
  804. Thank you telling the stories of the people. The tired subject of the royal and bluebloods that kept the people down has been told ad nauseum.
    17
  805. WOO! New Fact Feast content!
    17
  806. I watched a program that was showing that a building in the barras used to charge a person space to sleep, but not lying down you stood all night leaning against a thick rope that was secured to the wall. It was a tough life then, but to some I'd say it's still a tough life now.
    17
  807. Enjoying my coffee while listening to this. 👍
    17
  808. Great upload, informative and straight to the point about New York way back when.
    17
  809. My great grandmother x3 was born in Holborn- just by Fleet Street in 1801. She lived in Hosier Lane ( still there) and her husband who was a tallow chandler- around 1830/40ish. Hosier Lane is next door to St Bart’s Hospital, on the other side was Newgate Prison and Smithfield meat market on the other. I think my grandfather got the fat from there for his candles. How totally grim! Death all around you, hangings and the noise animals being slaughtered . I cannot imagine how on earth my family managed. Dystopian hell. My grandmother lived until she was 89! I have one photo. Her elder daughter married a rich man and they all moved to Hampstead. Her children became millionaires as financiers for Lloyds ! Her other daughter married an ordinary bloke and they lived in a poor mews cottage nearby. Of course- I’m descended from the poor side. Typical! 😅 This is great series! I love UK history But people suffered so much - we’d all be totally traumatised if we had to go back and experience such dire and grinding poverty. I’ve stood in Hosier Lane and tried to imagine what it was like- quite difficult when the whole area is now so smart and expensive. If you are nearby, go to ‘ Ye olde Cheshire Cheese’ pub. Been there for centuries, an amazing pub! Charles Dickens used to drink there .
    17
  810. Super interesting. There are probably more stories like this from other cities. Would like more!
    17
  811. This has to be one of the best channels on YouTube! I have literally recommended it to every person I know with a similar interest as me in Britain (and more specifically London's) history.
    17
  812. I always look forward to videos from you . They're great
    17
  813. Do you know what 'hard labour' would've entailed for these people in that place and time Fact Feast? Great content as ever.
    17
  814. Heck yea! Love trying to get as much info on the Gin Craze. Crazy to see how a liquid became such a big issue back then and all the different ways they tried to sneak and hide selling it. Another excellent video thank you! 👍👍
    17
  815. Glad that his story had a happy ending, and that he became a role model to others as the "Temperance Sweep"
    17
  816. Hey FF I got Jack London people of the abyss for Christmas. Cannot wait to start reading it. I love your channel. Merry Christmas
    17
  817. You have a voice that makes me want to listen to you are a great narrator 😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮
    17
  818. Here in Portsmouth there’s a “mudlarker” statue erected right next to HMS Warrior,worth a “google”
    17
  819. I collect antique pocket watches and am learning to repair them as a hobby. And I always wonder the history of them and who owned them and what they have "seen". Such history. Only if they could talk, the stories they could tell. Thxs for the wonderful story telling
    17
  820. I love listening to your audio of The People of the Abyss. Read it while travelling from London to Scotland (by train) & the accounts London presented in it were just something else. Thanks for your hard work!
    17
  821. As I walk Waterloo Bridge, embankment, London in general, I always think of the countless stories of the poor and homeless who once slept and toiled there in the cold and wet, who have now been very much forgotten. We are very lucky today.
    17
  822. My dad gree up in the 30's and there were 12 people in the family. They were very poor farm folks. He lucky if he got meat on a good day. The only good thing that came from this is that he can make a great meal out of anything!!
    17
  823. I’m hoping that you do a few videos on servants lives, in big houses and stuff.
    17
  824. This channel is tops on YouTube. It's hard to imagine Victorian life could get any worse for these giants that we stand upon. Nikola Tesla solved many many problems with one invention.
    17
  825. Sounds like the Five Points area of Lower Manhattan in the 19th century where the Irish gangs were most powerful at that time. Poverty, unemployment and hives of criminality and violence.
    17
  826. Fascinating as always!
    17
  827. Thank you for all the great videos! I love your channel! The same thing always goes thru my mind when I watch them. If I was somehow transported to the past I would be dead in less than a week and would probably be grateful to have died and ended my suffering. You definitely had to be an extremely strong person to survive.
    17
  828. Life was hard in the East end of London in Victorian Britain !
    17
  829. Thank you mr fact feast, keep up the very good work, all the best 😊
    17
  830. This wasn't just in the past. The description of tenement housing could have been written by myself or any of my coworkers in the early or late 70's in San Diego or Charleston, S.C.. I worked at recovery homes for young drug addict moms, teaching nutrition and child care. After they graduated we would do after-care in their homes. Filthy, with decades of grime, children with eye infections running thickly, toilets that hadn't flushed for years-fecal matter overflowing, greasy plugged sinks that hadn't worked for who knows how long with slimy bottles half filled with mouldy formula, walls running with rot, the smell overwhelming. Yet the mom's would try so hard. The love was real, this was not about lack of care. My job was to teach. Teach what? Just 3 miles away there was clean, affordable housing. But because these women had been to prison they were not allowed to rent. Too often, at some point, the pain would drive the moms back to the street. The real losers would be the children. Heartbreaking.
    17
  831. I'm new to your channel and I love the way you can tell these stories in such a way as to make the listener feel like they are there. It reminds me of old radio shows. Very well done.
    17
  832. Great historic information. You had to be tough to live in those dwellings, and you also had to be tough to be a cop. 10 x 12 feet slept 19 people!😳 I couldn’t have lived back then.
    17
  833. You really have a gift for vivid description of taking all of our senses to the wretchedness of life for some people, thank you, you are amazing at this
    17
  834. I loved how you showed images of modern slums along with the historical ones, very well done!!! ❤️👏👏👏☺️

  835. Just the other month I checked out the industrial museum in Bradford UK. They have some of this kind of machinery and it is so loud. Check it out if you can.
    16
  836. You never fall to draw me in!!!! I love this era. I love how you narrate and you make it come alive. I get disappointed when they get done I think you should make longer videos!!!!
    16
  837. What a life, but really appreciate you doing these videos to show how people lived or barely lived/survived. I can't even fathom living as a poor person in that time, some say it isn't much different how poor are treated now. Lessons sometimes are never learned. Wonderful narration as always, thank you.
    16
  838. I have only just came across this channel and I'm thoroughly enjoying the content. It fills a niche between a documentary film and book learning that an audio book doesn't quite manage. The images and especially the narration are perfect at bringing to life a dickensian world in your imagination as well as the real life stories of people of the time.
    16
  839. The splendid thing about this channel is that it reveals how the vast majority of people in "the good old days" lived miserably and largely anonymously. This channel is needed now more than ever! Once again I say bravo and well done!
    16
  840. Love this channel ❤
    16
  841. I use this to come into sleep mode at night...calming voice and speaking rate...it's all about rhythm. 😂😊
    16
  842. I plan my Sundays around your video. Thank you! I absolutely love your voice. I bet it belongs to a handsome man! 😊 Fact Feast is a treasure!
    16
  843. Never seen anything like this video before but I'm hooked and for some strange reason didn't notice the time go by as I noticed from the corner of my eye that I'm almost at the end of it... This is just so enthralling I'm so into this ...! 🤣😮 I cannot even imagine a present day adult surviving these circumstances... These were some badass kids! 💪
    16
  844. Such a brilliant relating of how things truly were in history! I am addicted! How harsh, depressing and pointless life must have felt in those times.
    16
  845. I get so excited when I see you post something new because i've binged watched your channel so many times i nearly know the dialog
    16
  846. All these children had such and innocence about them even though they had seen the worst that society had too offer, may heart bleeds for them .even though by now they are only dust . All thoes stories lost to time . History is amazing, wow ,thankyou for these videos.
    16
  847. Another excellent video. I love this channel. Thanks for what you do.
    16
  848. Your videos are always informative. The best parts for me is hearing the "voices" from the past. It makes it more personal. Thank you 4 your work.
    16
  849. ❤️ love your voice!
    16
  850. I'm a new subscriber to your Channel 💚 Thanks for sharing !
    16
  851. Thanks for the vid! Im going through tough times and I look forward to your uploads.
    16
  852. Here we are once again listening to none other than @FactFeast that catches me in exactly the same place that I was last week, in bed listening to my late night Sunday bedtime story!
    16
  853. I found the art work to be fantastic! It really shows what the narrator is talking about in these stories. Thank you FF!
    16
  854. Fascinating glimpse into a grim topic. Wonderfully done!
    16
  855. Great stuff always good to listen 🎧 to
    16
  856. Once again, you have produced a teaching video that covers historic elements both ignored and misunderstood. Your channel should be included in highschool and college curriculum. Brilliantly done!
    16
  857. I felt really creeped out once in Bethnal Green station, and I could hear footsteps, but couldn't see anyone... Never using that station off-peak again!
    16
  858. YouTube has been miserable in its simple task of alerting me that my favorite channel has posted! Ah, but I defy the algorithm. Splendidly done, as always. I apologize for getting behind on your posts! Thank you for your wonderful work!
    16
  859. Yay a new one!
    16
  860. Another great vid, thank you. Horrific to think these young lads didn’t have a life at all but employed in what we see today of the exploitation of workers who earn nothing as they ‘owe’ their employers etc. The life expectancy must have been low as these youngster were exposed to such dangers and health wise must have been unbearable to think. Sadly it was a means of survival to work and be fed, we are so lucky today! Look forward to your next fantastic vid, best way to end my Sunday evening 👍🍻
    16
  861. I look forward to your new video every week, for you bring the past to life in more detail than either Dickens or my grandparents, who lived through these times, ever could. My great grandparents were evicted by Gladstone from their living on the Fasque Estate. These were dreadful times.
    16
  862. We truly must thank our ancestors for their efforts merely to stay alive. For otherwise we wouldn’t be here to appreciate their hard work. You have the best channel. ❤️
    16
  863. At last, a video highlighting the REAL voices of the Victorian poor and the groundbreaking work of William Booth - thank you! Subbed
    16
  864. I just watched a video of a man collecting leeches in 1930's Australia. He had gumboots on, went into a pond and just hit a board on the top of the water and hit it. The leeches would attach to the board and he'd flip it and collect the leeches. I think this was interesting. I think it's amazing too that leeches are still used today for legitimate medical use.
    16
  865. Ann odd thought: before the advent of personal cameras people had to go to professional studios to have pictures taken. This, of course, cost money which our poorest ancestors could not afford. It's strange to think that we only know what some of our Victorian ancestors looked like if they had a police mugshot.
    16
  866. Ah, the plight of the Mancunian worker! Fascinating indeed! Wonderful work here!
    16
  867. Watching warm in bed with hot chocolate.
    16
  868. You are a very talented story teller . Your writing is style makes for great content . Thanks ☺️
    16
  869. That was so interesting and brilliantly told, thank you.
    16
  870. Spectacular video as always! I'm not pleased with YouTube's insistence at being inconsistent with notifications, but this made my Friday at least. By the by, it isn't the subject matter but the stripping away of the facade projected upon the "good old days" that makes this channel so excellent.
    16
  871. Yes! More Edwardian please. 🧡💛💚💙💜
    16
  872. Your channel has been a invaluable source of information and inspiration for me. I was writing an RPG adventure based on Victorian London. Keep up the good work! Sorry for the bad english and many many thanks from Brazil!
    16
  873. I can highly recommend reading or listening to 'People of the Abyss' by Jack London. It's fantastic.
    16
  874. Very heartbreaking accounts for sure. Thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate your channel. 👍
    16
  875. I have watched this channel ever since the very first episode and I love this channel!
    16
  876. Sad to think our ancestors being working class would have gone through similar experiences, my brother just recently researched our family tree and found out my great great grandfather took his own life by drowning after his wife died and left him with five kids, this was 1888. He worked in the local coke works three miles away but struggled to keep his kids in check and the eldest my great father kept skipping school, in those days the parents used to get fined or jailed. I can only imagine the mental turmoil the poor soul went through trying to keep it all together so one day he had enough walked to the local river and drowned himself, he left his clothes in a pile with a note in the pocket which two walkers found, it was in the papers of the day but never passed down through the family. His son the trouble maker ended up working down the pits at 14 instead of going into care, he joined the army later on and survived the battle of the Somme. Tough times and even tougher people.
    16
  877. I love all of the videos on this channel, you can see the effort put in to every one. 👍
    16
  878. As usual, your narrations are excellent.
    16
  879. Love this channel 💚
    16
  880. I could have been first. I just didn't comment but I was first 😅
    16
  881. Absolutely horrid to think what these peoples' live must have been like. Thanks for making the video, I love how you make content about what most peoples' lives were like during the Victorian era, not just the fancy rich people.
    16
  882. I'm a recent subscriber, I like these type of videos. Overworked and underpaid! I read before that if ill, the residents would rather chance it, than go the East End hospitals.
    16
  883. My great grandfather came to America during the Patoto famine. His family was lucky. They settled in Mt Savage MD. An industrialist by the name of Arnold operated an Iron mill. Arnold was a Catholic and hired Irish Catholics refuges from the Patoto famine. Eventually the Mt Savage Iron mill went out of business and my family move to Pittsburgh. I went to Mt Savage. It a little village in the Allegheny Mountains. My family was very lucky
    16
  884. Thank you!!!
    16
  885. Children can grow up out of truly horrible circumstances, and who knows the damage it does. Thank you for another fascinating video and narration 😀👍
    16
  886. I find your video most interesting. I believe that my grandmother was living in the area about that time c.1900, & I myself went to school in Commercial Road Stepney in 1955, so I remember the area as being a post-war slum at that time, these days it has become so gentrified only the rich can afford property in the area!!
    16
  887. The algorithms are working against me I replied to your post approximately two minutes after it appeared I’ve come back & noticed it’s not here. Anyway thanks to Fact Feast for our weekly intake of Victorian Britain. Hit the like button subscribe & share.
    16
  888. Theres not many channels make such an effort to reply to all the comments, top marks 👍
    16
  889. Yeah! I'm getting my regular Sunday fix of History! Keep them coming! 👍
    16
  890. History brough to life again thanks for all you do to bring to life the voices of the past cheers
    16
  891. Thanks to Fact Feast once again. Dog snatching in Victorian England? Well I never. It seems as if nothing was sacred in that era apart from good Queen Victoria. These crimes are still happening in this new Carolean era.
    16
  892. Captivating narration..Had to come get my fix..😉
    16
  893. Ah the good old days. Where you could earn a living collecting dog dirt. Great video , keep em coming, please
    16
  894. Superb narration and research on every video on this channel. Have learned so much. Your work is appreciated.
    16
  895. I just LOVE your videos! ❤ Makes me feel less terrible about being poor in America and crippled, unable to do anything to help myself. I have to watch twice, once to see the video and once for to close my eyes and listen to the voices and see the pictures in my mind. I suppose some things never change. 😥
    16
  896. Once again, me and the family love your videos! Being from the UK its so awsome to hear about the history here. your voice / accents are always spot on. currently 4am, im not in the best of health currently and dont sleep... so its awsome to just sit here and listen to your awsome videos. Especially the ones about the poor haha. if they made it through that, it gives me so much power to make it through the nights. crazy to think my great great granny was in and out of workhouses during these times! cheers
    16
  897. Thanks to FactFeast for that Sunday evening treat of a blast from the past. Let us remember that 102 years ago the RMS Titanic was on its way to sink beneath the waves never to bee seen above water since 15th April 1912
    16
  898. WOW!!! Having actual photographs really help it hit home as to the real depravity of the time,great vid 👍
    15
  899. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS 🙏 I JUST SUBSCRIBED YOUR CHANNEL. Incredible work of awareness. Unfortunately it seems the British people don’t want to acknowledge the class divisions still raging around the country. British still worship those elites who practically enslaved them and largely accept that the upper class are better than them so they deserve everything they have 😢🤯😡
    15
  900. This was always to my knowledge the worst trade for a child
    15
  901. These videos are always a joy to watch. I particularly enjoy the narration.
    15
  902. Another great video! The book "guignol's band" by the french author Céline describes the pimping smuggling etc of London... though set in 1916 , it reflects the same scenery... I was especially struck by the observation about flowers... in his book Céline describes how a sudden ray of sunlight could suddenly make the meagre window-ledge gardens brighten a whole street... and he recalls (book written during nazi occupation of france) the ragged children who, despite their bare feet and empty stomach would sing and shout and scatter or gather like flocks of sparrows... and he even quotes some of their singsong verses (he was a medical student and probably 1:2 doctor in what i think is the closed hospital in Hackney Road...) If you have time to spare, i recommend Céline's "guignol's band" and "London Bridge (the part 2 of guignol'x band) Keep up the great good work! And maybe you could tell us what happened and how did happen that The Dole suddenly sprouted, and its history (up to the Means Test of the 30's?) People (like me) need to know Thanks for your ceaseless toil!
    15
  903. The narration of your videos is fantastic. Great to listen to while working out. 👍Exemplary work!
    15
  904. One of my all time favorite channels. I dont know why but theres something really comforting about these videos.maybe bc it makes me grateful for my safety and comfort here in the 21st century
    15
  905. Nice video set in my home city . Thank you very much for the upload
    15
  906. Great channel! Sounds like the next step up from just being homeless. Our world today, with the overcrowding and financial woes, seems to be on a track to this very existence. I used to refer to my Victorian era row house as "me old doss house" but a place of my own is far above these conditions. Since my best friend kicked me out of her life I started thinking of my house, without the laughter and smiles it once had, as "the orphan's tear". Waiting for the next video 😁
    15
  907. The free entertainment of the streets. Now people are so busy walking with their phones in their faces they miss out on all that entertainment as there is still some free entertainment simply by watching the world go by. Great video as always.
    15
  908. Such a WONDERFUL channel. Thank you.
    15
  909. Love your stories!❤
    15
  910. I always enjoyed second hand clothes, not only affordable but it was a sense of accomplishment to find something you liked in the mass of clothes. I could see and smell the rags thanks to your narration!
    15
  911. Amazing content! I can't get enough.
    15
  912. My weekly bedtime story is here. Fact Feast has a unique voice like James Mason, Laurence Olivier, Orson Wells & Vincent Price. Truly one of a kind. I salute you with a drink!
    15
  913. Absolutely beautiful
    15
  914. Every video from you makes me feel like I went in a time machine. Bravo!
    15
  915. You, Sir, are a gem of a narrator!! I inform a lot of folks about your channel, and a lot of times,we all share the same thoughts, and it is this: We're astounded and horrified that TODAY in the year 2022, that there continues to be some people who refuse to feel anything resembling compassion and understanding for those of us who don't have wealthy family ties, and don't have high-paying jobs... Don't hate us because we're not lucky like you!!
    15
  916. I love the way you do these videos. I always feel like I am there. Thank you❤
    15
  917. Great as usual. It would be great to see any uploads of slum life in Ireland. :_VictoriansGreetings:
    15
  918. Hi love! Thank you for another great video. 😌. Reformatory Schools …. Did they adequately feed and clothe the children? I wonder too, about whether their would be an undiminished blemish on their character, affecting any future employment. All of these people were clearly needy and lived hard, difficult lives. It’s hard to see how unfair the sentences were. So much wealth in the great ‘British Empire’ but it benefited only the few!
    15
  919. Another wonderful video!! This is a very interesting series with Jack London. Thank you for sharing your outstanding talents!!
    15
  920. And obviously this was the playground of Jack The Ripper. As a Ripper case fan I studied and still studying what are the economics, social and politics causes that gave the birth to the East End of London and the rise of the rookery. Well done, sir.
    15
  921. The landlady takes care, that her guests are not too comfortable.... things haven't changed much. Thanks for the unexpected smile ✌️
    15
  922. I love this channel and glad your expanding your content..and Charles Dickens apparently hated his early visit to America and he's a early social reformer and the irony is all our ideas about social reform and social work we get from him and jack London and other like minded others like them my family's been here for ages and I'm in Tx but a good many crossed over to Ellis island and very well ended up in places like this I bet the British and Irish immigrants were shocked we had places just like home yep we had our own poor and work houses and the five points isnt much different than the EastEnders area my friends in the UK are finally getting our history is also theirs and we're more related than they realize I guarantee nearly every American and native American can probably trace their family to good ol Cardiff or bristol or Antrim and even eastern Europe..it's not as far fetch as one think
    15
  923. Love it. Great narration
    15
  924. The narrator is truly a master story teller.
    15
  925. I've just come on to your channel and like it very much. I've watched all the Victorian videos so far. Keep up the great work!
    15
  926. These poor souls stare back at you almost deviod of any emotions. They committed these crimes not for fun or to impress but to survive. Thank you
    15
  927. This is the story of my grandfather…he died @44 from black lung from working in the coal mines since he was a child.
    15
  928. I'm sure they did what they had to do. 🤷‍♀️
    15
  929. If you close your eyes you can imagine you're there.
    15
  930. Ah it’s been a couple of weeks but like a boomerang I’m back to listen to the wonders from the past by Fact Feast. Thanks for being here.
    15
  931. Excellent post! The poem was likely true in so many cases, being poor was considered criminal and immoral. For the Victorian poor, starvation was like a shadow, always hovering by, always imminent. Rough sleeping, hunger, harassment, with death right around the corner. We should look back and be thankful.
    15
  932. You need to make longer videos your doing great work either way 👍
    15
  933. I absolutely loved this video! Honestly, so fascinating. And it was narrated so well! It's the closest thing as to talking to a 19th century pickpocket we will ever get too. If you've think you've had a relatively hard life!
    15
  934. I have watched and wondered, with sadness, why this excellent and informative channel has not expanded rapidly. I have concluded that many people don't want to know the truth about British social history. They are either indifferent or believe the modern simplistic and politically motivated narrative, that all white people have always been equal, that they treated all other people with contempt and that they all benefitted equally from this social structure. They don't want to know how cruel, desperate and horribly imbalanced the British class system was and that the majority of the British population, men, women and children, were kept in conditions of poverty, destitution and virtual slavery by a privileged minority that also profited from the same system overseas. They don't want to know how this system evolved from Medieval feudalism. That is why this channel is so important for it narrates reality through original source materials, the very words of the people who experienced the deprivation and horror of that society. This truth is precious and important to learn for it reveals our true global humanity. Thank you, Fact Feast, for your effort. I really appreciate it.
    15
  935. Thanks for the fantastic glimpse into a shady and strangely appealing part of London life; gosh, I have a horrible feeling if I was living back then I would definitely have frequented these gin palaces, they sound like a blast! You really brought it to life, subscribed, Thank you 👍
    15
  936. I took a semester abroad while in uni and studied at Daystar University in Kenya. Our main campus was about a 40 minute drive outside of Nairobi. Every time we wanted to go into the city the bus would have to pass through a small village along side Athi River. There was a tannery and rendering plant there and the smell was unbelievably awful. I would always try to hold my breath as we passed through, or risk getting nauseous, and that was only one small plant! I can't imagine what it would have been like to live near these large scale factories.
    15
  937. Yay Thanks F.F. & Good Day All!!!😊
    15
  938. Another great video! As usual, great narration. One thing I forget to thank you for is all of the collections of drawings/art & pictures you edit in. Very impressive. Almost 100K subscribers-- Keep up the good work! People really should know what it was like to the detail you provide.
    15
  939. Modern day rat catcher here, very good video
    15
  940. Hearing these accounts really put your life in perspective. Really been enjoying this channel.
    15
  941. What a spot on vlog, I didn't realise the plague was about in the 20th century, excellent vlog about Glasgow
    15
  942. Great video!! My home, Orphan's Tear, is in terrible want of cleaning. This video reminds me of how pampered we are nowadays, everything has been made easy, and yet we complain or can't find time to do the necessary things.
    15
  943. I've never forgotten the harrowing lines from a previous video, 'Sleeping Rough', "You yourself sleep next to an old decrepit man who cannot always control his bodily actions. His trousers stink! Stink! You will carry the stench in your nostrils for a week." Now another insight into the uniquely horrific world of Victorian doss houses. I'm grateful, but it's a trauma to listen to. Most people will have no idea about 'bloaters'. You can still buy them in the UK as 'a delicacy' (if you really want to). Try giving yourself a real Victorian pauper experience. Let one rot for a day or two, eat it and imagine living like that with no income, no bed, no sanitation and no options for the rest of your life.
    15
  944. Love the narration, very well researched. Very educational and informative.. Glad I found this channel. Thanks for posting
    15
  945. Thank you for a great history video of a great man. William crooks MP who helped reforms towards workers rights help for the disabled and give the labour party a patriotic stance. He led the national anthem song to be sang in parliament during WWI! So criticism of sir Kier strammer getting the labour party to sing the national anthem he knows the true history of the labour party. William crooks MP a great politician who's life should be remembered thank you for a fantastic history lesson.
    15
  946. The royal court had more backhand behavior than any slum I think. Love that it was about Paris today and I have the urge to watch Les Miserable now.
    15
  947. Now I fancy pulling out the dvd Gangs of NY and some popcorn. Anyone want to join me?
    15
  948. This channel deserves 500,000 subscriptions.
    15
  949. I suffer same ...PTSD......Anxiety and extreme depression. Not easy to overcome in spite of pills. Specially when you feel abandoned by your own flesh and blood. Alone......watching YouTube helps me get through loneliness and surviving alone.
    15
  950. What a great story teller, you should definitely have many more subs. I hope your channel grows and grows.
    15
  951. Yeah!!!! My favourite YouTuber! Perfect timing...well anytime is perfect timing for me! Keep them coming!
    15
  952. Jack London writes well! FactFeast narrates very well indeed.
    15
  953. The narration is wonderful. Thank you for the vivid reality people lived in at that time.
    15
  954. Always find these to be as informative as they are thought provoking, thank you for making them, born and raised east London so its really nice to hear more about the history of where I live
    15
  955. New subscriber here, your a great narrator, keep up the good work
    15
  956. My dad was born here in 1914 he had no shoes his father drank his mother suffered with very poor health and was sent to a near asylum he worked in spittlefield market instead of going to school as no one cared only the Jewish community who often fed him . The authorities took him and his sister into care aged 10 and 12 . So it was well into the 20 th century not just Victorian 🤷‍♀️
    15
  957. I grew up in Jacob Riis houses in the Lower East Side 🤗 Love to here stories of old New York
    15
  958. Epic photos and videos! We take for granted photography, but it was pretty rare for the poor to have been photographed back then...amazing collection!
    15
  959. The desire to own a public house is something this channel has given me! I have a history degree and still find myself learning here! Love the channel and always will
    15
  960. You astound us once again with your brilliance!! I love your channel and thank you so much for your diligence in putting out wonderful and interesting content. Cheers!
    15
  961. I had never heard of this. Sad and interesting. Good editing with the pictures of those who tragically lost their lives because of “misadventure.”
    15
  962. Thank you for these.
    15
  963. GREAT vid 👏👏👏 another wonderful history lesson and a amazing teacher keep them coming 😜👍
    15
  964. Happy holidays sir! Major metropolitan areas still have their share of slums. Wonder if there will ever be a time that they no longer exist.
    15
  965. these narrations are fantastic, i love this channel! really interesting history.
    15
  966. Here we are once again stepping into the past. It’s not a Sunday evening if there isn’t Fact Feast. Thanks
    15
  967. Drinking a piping hot cup of tea watching this right now. Cheers!
    14
  968. Beautiful voice. Just found this channel, great☘🧚‍♂️😄p.s. poor Hooky, I am feeling really sympathetic towards his plight, but he must have met his maker long ago.
    14
  969. Love this channel ❤
    14
  970. as usual immensely interesting and thank you once again!! what impresses me about your videos is the extra mile you go to give us actual facts - how do you manage that, anyway well done!!
    14
  971. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you. My thoughts go to the growing homeless in America's cities. Nobody is paying attention but I'm very worried. Cities becoming a huge mess. Ugh
    14
  972. Even our poor throw away what they would have treasured.
    14
  973. I loved this one ..as it's my first of yours I have seen I decided to like it and subscribe ❣️❣️ thank you for helping us to see the REAL lives of people verses the prettied up ones that we think of when we imagine what it was like for all we tend to just shrug off and not think of the brutal struggle they really went through ..this made me cry so hard yet I'm glad I did get to open my eyes wider to things such as this and we would not know had you not have spent endless hours making this ..thank you !!!!
    14
  974. Excellent video as always!! Feels like I'm actually in the Victorian age!
    14
  975. Wow facinating 🇬🇧
    14
  976. I love the illustrations you share with your stories! What a treasure!
    14
  977. The abyss is now falling through the cracks. They were called 'dock-wallopers' here in America. I'm always at awe @ your informative videos. I so appreciate the efforts you infuse to make them so interesting. Thank you.
    14
  978. VERY INTERESTING. And your telling of it is top notch , I can really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your hard work

  979. Looking through the comments I wonder how many of us have ancestors who immmigrated to North America or elsewhere to get away from the grinding poverty of the UK? I know my paternal grandparents did. They move to Canada for a better life in the early 1900s. Things went well for them until the Great War broke out.Fortunately my grandfather came back home in one piece but suffering from shell shock He was able to work though. Then came the 'Dirty Thirties' and the family of five were struggling until WWII. Things only got better after that. The family was never rich but they were comfortable. Certainly a lot better than if they had stayed in England. This is a really great channel with superb narration. I have subbed and 'liked'.

  980. Thank you so much that's very wonderful fantastic and even more interested at fact feast ❤❤😊😊

  981. I love your dickensian voice its straight out of one of his marvellous books

  982. My Great Great Grandfather put my Great-Great Grandmother in the Workhouse citing her 'insanity' - A combination of family lore, some newspaper clippings, and a bit of detective work revealed they were both gamblers & alcoholics who both ended up drinking away a successful business and putting her away was his way of not splitting the cash.

  983. I absolutely love your videos! They’re so intriguing and mesmerizing. What a wonderful insight to the past! 🎩 🌹💕
    14
  984. Just subbed, your channel is right up my street. Like many, I grew up near an old workhouse, it always equally horrified and fascinated me, still does. I tried digging into its history but didn’t find a great deal. Great narrating, love it ⭐️

  985. Last and most important part of my research children in Victorian era were used for sweeping chimney sweeping due to their diminutive size that enabled them to fit into very narrow and enclosed spaces that require cleaning inaccessible to adults. In early 1830s parliament became more preoccupied generally with exploitation of child labour. Chimney sweeps act was passed in 1834outlawing appertaining of any child below age of ten . Furthermore no child was to be actually chimney under age of 14 .poor child would shimmy up , using his back elbows , knees . He would use brush over head , when he reached top of chimney collected soot pile for his master , he would sell it .chimney cleaning was dangerous for kids they could get jammed, suffocate or burn to death , as soot is carcinogenic and boys slept under soot sacks and were rarely washed . The little boys worked from dawn until dusk every day of year . As iread during 1700s chimney sweeper saved life of king George 11 by stopping his runaway horse and carriage . King issued royal decree that chimney sweeps are bringers of good luck , that they should be treated with great respect. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information. Best wishes for you your family friends.

  986. A fresh Fancy Feast video. Great! I hope you expand you reading subjects. There lots of history you could read that would sound delightful. That accent gets me everytime, perfect pronouncation even though is not common where I am. I never have issues understanding. Perfect.
    14
  987. The streets and alleys in the descriptions and photographs are 100 percent those of my ancestors. As mentioned before, my family history search has uncovered even more than I learned from my dad, no longer alive, who was born there the youngest of the 9 children who survived. Going back in time to see the various parts of the family on the censuses and in the records is the most amazing thing. Trying to reach back to those relatives through time. Trying to hear their voices and picture them in my mind's eye. It's utterly compelling.
    14
  988. I very much enjoyed today's episode same as I enjoy every episode!
    14
  989. I really enjoy these video's, it must have been a hard life back then. I think about a book i read over 30 year's ago called The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair. His description of the working conditions was horrible, and so many people were physically injured, some permanently, and many died, much like many of your video's detail. I appreciate the work that goes into making these video's, always a thumbs up, and i tell my friend's to hop over here. G-d bless.

  990. Then there were places where people paid to sit flopping over a rope so they could sleep a bit. Children too. No homes.
    14
  991. Yeah! I was eagerly waiting for your Sunday upload!☺️
    14
  992. Magic! I’m listening on my daily commute by train. Wish I was going on holiday too!
    14
  993. This is one of, if not the best YouTube channel on Victorian England !
    14
  994. I have some NYC Sewer Alegators to trade!

  995. How are you doing sir although the Victorian age as I mentioned very sad time especially for low class but deserves reading as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s British census in 1891 founded that 103 milion of girls , women worked as domestic servants in Victorian England they were recruited between age of 10 and 13 after they had been through some elementary schooling . The maids had most grueling job of all they had to do all chores for house they often working from 6 in morning until 10 at night with very little off female servants they launder , sew , empty chamber post dust haul water for bath light fire shop helping mistress with appearance including makeup hairdressing clothing jewelry shoes . Female servants worked 17 hours with time off limited to church on Sundays morning one afternoon a week. They slept usually near kitchen they wear uniform called miss eat roast mutten veal Irish stew .mistreatment of servants was commonplace young maids were especially vulnerable to being sexually exploited once hired themselves in house hold in which strict unreachable hierarchy blew stairs

  996. As always- great episode.
    14
  997. Love this channel, thank you.
    14
  998. Great! Im glad you took the time to upload this. Love information from this period. One of my favourite times and topic. Thank you!
    14
  999. dig the accompanying imagery : ).
    14
  1000. It's so crazy how things such as clean water, sewage being under ground, clear air etc we take for granted today were considered luxury 100-200 years ago.
    14
  1001. A month for stealing money, but two for stealing a coat? And fourteen pounds was quite a sum. Same sentence fot stealing money as for stealing tobacco? Tis fine to actually see the eyes of these cads and bounders! Spectacular work as always!
    14
  1002. Renting a room in a Eastend terraced house with 2 up 2 down....hey, I did that back in my Uni years and that wasn't THAT long ago 😅
    14
  1003. It's very nice to be able to listen to one of your videos at the end of the day to relax before bed. The narration is exemplary and your videos are fantastic. Thank you for your awesome work.
    14
  1004. The excellent graphic novel A Contract With God by Will Eisner follows a tenement building through the decades. It's well worth the read.

  1005. tyvm for another upload 🪵🦫🇨🇦😁

  1006. I love this channel so much!
    14
  1007. Amazing research story-wise and the rarely-seen photos are a revelation:face-green-smiling:
    14
  1008. The Victorian era has always fascinated me. Thank you for your work.
    14
  1009. Thank you my good Sir.
    14
  1010. Fact Feast does it again. We all think Dickens Oliver Twist as we watch & listen to the depravity that young boys went through in that era. God only knows how young girls were treated, they probably wound up in the match factory resulting in getting poisoned working in a toxic environment.
    14
  1011. My Great Grandfather was practically raised in the workhouse. It is said that some children never saw a park or a setting sun. He was moved out at age seven and sent to St. Mary's Catholic Orphanage for Boys at North Hyde. It was a rather progressive place by the early 1900's, complete with a self-sufficient farm and a swimming pool! By 13 he was too old for the orphanage so he was sent to Canada. My mother says he never spoke once of the workhouse (no one knew until we got the records). Thank you so much as always.
    14
  1012. My favorite narrator and my favorite channel with a new video. It is a good day. Settling in to be enthralled.🍮
    14
  1013. Amazing History Thank You So Much. So Sad 😞
    14
  1014. This is my upmost comfort channel, every upload lifts my day, thank you
    14
  1015. oh how delightful to doss upon one's sofa, listening to your fascinating, eye-opening videos :^) And what a blessing it is to doze under a roof of ones own with a warm drink, soft pillows and food for breakfast; we are so, so lucky.

  1016. Caravans look healthier and prettier than creepy flats.

  1019. I ❤️ Fact Feast!!!

  1020. I've said it before, keep doing what you are doing.
    14
  1021. These videos always serve as a reminder to be grateful for my life. I am aware, but it just helps to know. I can feel bad about my own issues but learning about these things gives me motivation to try harder and make something of myself. I feel bad for all those who had to suffer with no recourse or relief 😢
    14
  1022. This channel is so underrated. Love the voice narration! Keep up the great work!!!
    14
  1023. The picture of St Paul’s 30 seconds in is the view from where my Grandfather was born & raised. About where the Globe & Tate Modern are now. He and his brother used to play on the barges when moored like the one with the logs on. One day his little brother fell in and fortunately my Grandfather managed to dive in and save his life. I guess it would of been around 1918-19
    14
  1024. Excellent and informative as always Mr Feast . On the strength of your content I purchased Jack London's " The people of the abyss " recently . As harrowing as it is , I always hear your dramatic voice in my head as I read it ! Thank you for your work .
    14
  1025. Brilliant ,love the pictures ,. From Liverpool uk

  1033. What an amazing persson to put herself out there! All it takes is a leap of faith? And look what can be accomplished? An amazing story! I hope she was forever recognized? Thank you for sharing this.
    13
  1034. My hobby is building my family tree so videos like this are a great help in envisioning how my ancestors may have lived. I don't have ties with London except having being born there. My family is from Durham, Yorkshire and Norfolk. Some of these ancestors migrated to Durham from Scotland in search of a better life. I just subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your content.
    13
  1035. I always enjoy the Victorian era content. Thanks for another one!
    13
  1036. We don't know how lucky we have things until you see how they had to survive back then. Thanks for the video😁👍
    13
  1037. My great great grandfather was a police Bobby with the Metropolitan Police force in London from 1858 till he retired in 1883. I have a copy of his retirement papers with his signature on it. His son my great great uncle was a police Bobby from 1901 to his retirement in 1929. Very cool.
    13
  1038. I love these videos. More people would do well to watch them and really think on what we have to be thankful for.
    13
  1039. This channel is a joy to listen to on a beautiful Sunday. I look forward to it
    13
  1040. Awesome pictures! My great-grandmother's father was a coal miner and they lived in Lancashire. She remembered waving to Queen Victoria as the monarch went by on a train. In 1912 (guess the Titanic didn't influence them), she went to Canada with her mother and siblings, while her father sent money until he could afford to come. Gran would always tell me how dirty everything was where she had lived because of the coal dust. She never wanted to go back to "The Old Country."
    13
  1041. Hello there. I find your brutally honest videos on the Victorian slums morbidly fascinating. Can you recommend any good books on Victorian London in general? Furthermore - I don't request this enthusiastically - but perhaps you could create a video on the horrors of pimping and prostitution in Victorian London at some point? I've heard abuse was common if they didn't meet the 'demands' of their clients.
    13
  1042. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful documentary cultural channel. Actually child labour is very important subject. We too in Arabic countries before several decades especially gulf area as my homeland Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain . There are lack of knowledge the boys when became at age ten years or older worked as farmers or sellers and because poverty too .child labour is crime main cause is poverty . Child labour extreme bodily and mental harm and even death . Child labour can lead to slavery, sexual or economic exploitation, its cuts off kids from schooling and health care , restricting their fundamental rights .
    13
  1043. Intelligently narrated as always with thoughtful research. Thank you again for a great video.
    13
  1044. My parents first flat on getting married was in Sidney street near the old meat market in 1966, i was born in 1967, and they did not move out until 1974, and i can remember the rats running all over the flat at night and the outside toilet......and that all seemed normal. Lol
    13
  1045. Seeing the kids is so sad.
    13
  1046. My goodness, looking at this all I feel just how spoiled and privileged we all have become in modern society!!! They should be teaching this stuff in school!!!! Thanks for the videos I love them.
    13
  1047. Loving this channel. Thank you. Looking forward to more.
    13
  1048. These videos are always amazing insight into those who came before. I wonder, will you ever go further back like 1600s and 1700s? I'm guessing there are fewer records, but some must exist of daily life.
    13
  1049. Ah brilliant. Looking forward to this all day
    13
  1050. Thank you for another interesting and descriptive episode. I really enjoy this channel. Merry Christmas 1 and all.
    13
  1051. My ancestors came from norfolk to whitechapel in 1860 and lived in farthing alley...these videos give me a feel for the background of their lives,thankyou
    13
  1052. I would hire you to narrate my work in a heartbeat if I could.
    13
  1053. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I noticed most of your videos content about victorian era and lower class . Don’t be surprised please . We too in Arabic countries till nowadays have slums . As I read victorian slums were over crowded, unsanitary, dangerous place to live . There two main reasons for building slums population growth and governance. Victorian slums known as ( rookery) . In 18 and 19 th centuries were many victorian slums and , slums life effects of poverty related to growth of slums span everything from poor health to education. As informal often illegal housing, slums are often defined as unsafe/ unhealthy homes, lack of window , dirt floor , leaking walls and roofs , overcrowded homes . As I read Newcastle west end slums and short lived housing experiment that replaced them . Terraced streets classified as slums were being pulled down in Newcastle 66 years ago , but tenement blocks that replaced them stand for just 20 years . Slum is bad term refers to slum dwellers or slum residents as victims of poverty for their poor circumstances. Best wishes for you your dearest ones.

  1054. I lived in London with my family, around 1964/65 and the council were still using horse-drawn dustcarts. They tipped the bins into hoppers on both sides of the lorry. They were small compared with the modern vehicles but then again I was only about six years old at the time. I was more interested in the horse wearing blinkers, and I couldn't understand how it could possibly see its way along the road .Happy innocent days!
    13
  1055. You have outdone yourselves! This was fantastic!
    13
  1056. Fascinating topic as always Fact Feast. Thank you for all the work that goes into this channel. Hello from British Columbia Canada ❤
    13
  1057. Ive really been enjoying this channel. Anyone else think, " Oh, the Muffin Man lives on Drury Lane!"
    13
  1058. The combination of personal accounts from the period and carefully curated images makes for some excellent content!
    13
  1059. Good job Sir. Thank you for highlighting the past. Should definitely be shown in schools.
    13
  1060. What a great video; it could be one of your more humourous articles. The Victorian English displayed in this video is lavish but also quite funny! I laughed many times at how much vocabulary Victorians would use to make a point, especially about the refabricated top hats!!! Thanks as always!
    13
  1061. Wow! You've just made my day 😊.
    13
  1062. Thanks for the detailed research and a great video. Makes me not mind that the sewage bill went up!
    13
  1063. I love how the effects are nice, the videos are too short but extremely entertaining. They do indeed contain the emperors I was studying for school. (Calígula, Nero and commodus
    13
  1064. Love your content. How lucky we are in this modern world
    13
  1065. tyvm for another upload, eh 😁🇨🇦❄
    13
  1066. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s show shiners or boot polishers is occupation in which person cleans and buffs shoes and then applies waxy paste to give shiny appearance and protective coating. They are often known as shoe shine boys because job traditionally done by male child , other synonyms a boot black , shoe black . Shoe shining has been linked back to 19 th century. Although shoe polish never hit to masses commercially until 20 th century. Western civilization considered shining shoe as important source income for many children and families through out world . Shoe shining was invented in Melbourne by Scottish ex patriot William Ramsey and Hamilton mckellan called kiwi boot polish ingredients that increased suppleness and added water water resistance.

  1068. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ always interesting history ... Thank You Fact Feast
    13
  1069. I love this series and the narrator! Thank you so much!!!
    13
  1070. Believe it or not, my first grade schoolchildren still play Steal the Bacon, in the USA! Depending upon the particular children, I call it Steal the Bagel.
    13
  1071. Just this morning I was thinking about how I went to work at age 12. I was thinking how I didn't really have a childhood. Well I guess these children didn't have a childhood either.
    13
  1072. My favourite day of the week is when Fact Feast uploads!
    13
  1073. My great grandfather was an orphan in South Wales in the 18th century, he was sent down the coal mines aged 9. Even my parents had to leave school aged 13 and go to work. Nearby to where I lived there was a Dolly-blue Works. In Victorian times they employed a lot of orphans who had to work long hours, 6 days a week, only Sunday off, but they were taken to a nearby church chained together so non could escape.
    13
  1074. Another winner.❤
    13
  1075. Fantastic content 😊
    13
  1076. You Sir deserve more subscribers . Keep it up! Commodus really has God complex
    13
  1077. It appears that at this time there were desperate slums in most large cities: lower Manhattan, specifically the 5 points neighbourhood, London, Glasgow & Paris. This happened after large numbers of people left the countryside for the city in search of what they hoped to be a better life.
    13
  1078. Excellent job!👏🏽👏🏽 I’m glad I found your channel. Regarding the video…very powerful and sad!😢. We are so blessed to live as we do nowadays .🙏🏽
    13
  1079. My grandfather was from Liverpool he came to visit me at my house. He asked me if I was running a doss house. Now I know what he ment
    13
  1080. This channel is actually kinda underrated but you’ll get there one day
    13
  1081. Thank heavens for Jack London…and thanks for your videos 👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻
    13
  1082. This channel is always there for me with great content on Sunday nights when I’m so stressed out about Monday. It makes everything better. Love y’all 💕
    13
  1083. My dad’s father grew up in the garment district of London in the 1880s (Spitalfield). I wonder what their life was like. I am sure that my life is a lot easier.
    13
  1084. I enjoy your stories, thank you.
    13
  1085. 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 .
    13
  1086. top notch american accent
    13
  1087. Thank you for this very powerful, yet sad story
    13
  1088. Another fine video!! Very interesting and informative. I can’t wait for your next one!!
    13
  1089. As one who lives in Indiana. I can tell you things are much better now 😂😂. Great channel btw.
    13
  1090. Being a Londoner myself I am fascinating by our history. Thank you for all the fantastic content 😊😊
    13
  1091. Another fabulous documentary! I thought I was subscribed, but when this video popped up in my feed, I noticed that I was not subscribed...?? I did not unsubscribe, I know that for a fact. I was absolutely delighted to find this channel. Hmmm... I wonder what is going on? 🤔
    13
  1092. Tbh my grandparents were poor but all the women married well.there were two sons that stole things from bakeries for their siblings. No tax credits then,no child benefits. Personally I admire him for putting himself on the line and sharing with his family, nothing compared to the corruption of the upper classes of their time. My mother was born to a 47 year old who had 10 kids,no contraception I guess...poor woman.
    13
  1093. Fun-fact - they often made a lucrative side-line income giving out tips to inept police detectives on criminal goings-on and the stock market.
    13
  1094. My grandparents were married in a church in Piggot St, Limehouse. Grandma grew up in Poplar. Her mother was a policewoman who hid a gun in a pocket in her very full skirt.
    13
  1095. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always I gathered key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually Edinburgh in late 18 th and early 19 century was not pleasant place to live . It’s was crowded, unsanitary, unhealthy. Those who could afford to live outside city centre or old town in expanding suburbs . In 1861 census threw open window on society struggling with poverty and unsanitary conditions. It’s reduced bleak picture of life in Scotland particularly in largest cities and highlands. Today thousands flock to Edinburgh old town to explore sites. In the past unhealthy conditions problems in Edinburgh old town and parts of Glasgow, particularly around high street and other areas close to cathedral. Scottish registration act 1854 which finally forced people into officially registering births marriages and death ( including cause ) in Scotland.
    13
  1096. Hi Fact Feast ! Imagine living there back then ? ! ! This area must be haunted ,any story about such experiences ? Thank you a thousand time for sharing all the gruesome stuff back then, with us. My grandfather immigrated to NewYork in 1912 to some relatives living there. Greetings from Northern Sweden. 🙋🏼‍♀️💝🙋🏼‍♀️
    13
  1097. I've been watching your videos every day for the last few days, everything I eat, the giant soft bed I sleep in, and the space I have that is clean and all mine, make me feel like a princess. I am suddenly so much more grateful for what I have. I have done little more than any of those poor souls of the past except being born into a much better situation.
    13
  1098.  @FactFeast  Thanks for your reply it’s appreciated. I found them interesting, shocking, depressing & it also made me very angry at how the class system is still prevalent today undermining people’s progress in life. Yes life goes on & things change but unfortunately some things still remain the same.
    13
  1099. Oh god! When I start complaining about life I come to these videos and start to feel better. I cannot imagine living in these conditions. I wonder what was the life expectancy during this time. Great content from Fact Feast again.
    13
  1100. I think this is my favorite one so far. What a fine man he turned out too be.
    13
  1101. A great story! I hope his siblings turned out well.
    13
  1102. I feel like a lot of history from this period focuses on Europe and the East coast. Even if I'm wrong, though, more variety is never a bad thing! Thanks as always for sharing 👍
    13
  1103. Thank you for these awesome videos. I really look forward to your content. =)
    13
  1104. Brooklyn has always had a different energy to the other boroughs. Areas such as Bensonhurst which was predominantly Italian are no longer that way. Brooklyn was always looked upon as the hardcore borough & Fact Feast proves that this description from recent years goes way back to the 1800’s
    13
  1105. Thx friend. Awesome as always
    13
  1106. One of my favorite books when i was little was the little match girl by hans christian andersen. So sad but so beautifully done.
    13
  1107. You sure can tell a story, I could probably imagine it, if there wasn't any drawings, but those are in a league all their own.
    13
  1108. love this video!!!! i’m obsessed with your channel and how informational you are with all your videos. thank you!!!!
    13
  1109. Very good. Bread and Treacle, I used to have that, but I really liked Bread or Toast and Dripping with just a tiny bit of salt and still do.
    13
  1110. I visited the London canal museum Whardale road near Kings Cross a couple of years ago. They have an ice well in the building. At one time they imported Ice from Norway.
    13
  1111. Fantastic narration and being an Englishman myself this shows the beginning of the rag and bone man later the scrap man of which my uncle made a living from the 1960's liked and subbed :0)
    13
  1112. Last part of my research morality rates for children in victorian era were high and even if you survived childhood, many adults didn’t live past 50 years . In this era death was certain and people prized elaborate funeral services because of this . Many families saved for years to pay for funeral service . Infectious diseases were greatest casues of victorian morality such as smallpox, tuberculosis, influenza were old scourges . 1831 Britain suffered first epidemic of cholera, life is hard in Victorian era . Luxurious were not available to millions of working poor . Kids worked on farms, at homes as servants and factories.

  1114. How sad. Great work, what a reality check 🙂
    13
  1115. Thank you for telling these stories of the past. Perhaps they're not as far in the past as we like to think.
    13
  1116. This kinda channel is precisely the reason why I stumped up for YouTube premium 📺

  1117. And here i thought i had it bad living in the 3 small rooms upstairs in my fathers unfinished dumpy old house he started building when me and my sisters were little. But when momma left us all. He never finished the house. He never hammered even one more nail. He gave up. He never fixed anything that broke. If it got fixed i and whatever boyfriend i had at the time would do our best in our young age and immature inexperienced own ways to fix things. And do the upkeep. We lived in extremely bad poverty. I left when i was 14. And always came to visit a few times a week and do dishes and fix whatever i could. When my long relationship ended and my ex kept our home because we wasnt legally merried. I lost the home we shared together every thing. Now i had to move back home and take care of my elderly alcaholic father. Trying to fix up this old place as hes let it go terribly sinse i was a little girl. But luckily throughout the years whenever something stopped working i always found a way to fix it. My father just gave up when momma left. Even on us. 😔. We lived without electricity my entire life. My dad didnt believe in handouts or foodstamps. We barley scraped by. I went to bed hungery many nights. And forget new school clothes every year. Forget school. Dropped out in 7th grade as dad was afraid child protection services would take me and my sister away. It was a very harsh life in this old unfinished house built of old boards and repurposed materials. I and my boyfriend. Who is also my sons father. Have now done alot of work here to try and make it nice for us and our 5 year old son. Thank god for my sons father. Hes a amazing father an provider. He paid all the taxs that were past due when they were going to take this old place from my dad. Whom cannot work hes 71 years of age. And cannot work. Otherwise we'd have lost this place. Even with all of this and thats not even close to the half of my troubles disparities throughout life. But even with all of this. I thought i had it rough but even with all of that after watching this. I've had no trouble in comparison to these poor souls. 😢

    13
  1122. Very interesting, and my sympathies are with those poor people! :((
    13
  1123. Another fascinating Fact Feast narrative. Thank you for really bringing history to life. Dudley Street is now Shaftesbury Avenue and there's a print of it by Gustave Doré in 'London - A Pilgrimage' (Dudley Street Seven Dials). It's amazing to realise how deprived this West End London street once was.
    13
  1124. Very interesting.Want to see more of your Wild West movies
    13
  1125. I love the impression that slipped into Kenneth Williams 😂 you’re channel is amazing, please keep up the good work! Always look forward your videos.
    13
  1126. 😂 Sergeant titswell , sergent badcock...the names must of got some soilders in trouble...1ginny+ 21 I'm just the shilling for a soldier that may never come back I'm really not much has changed when soldiers come back they still don't have somewhere to live today we haven't really advanced I love this channel I really enjoyed this episode
    13
  1127. Thanks again @FactFeast
    13
  1128. Your narration is bold and true! You transport me to the period (notably, the Billboard Man and the Homeless shelters are two of the most well narrated stories I’ve listened to on YT! And, I’ve listened to many👍🏾😇
    13
  1129. Thank you for posting!
    13
  1130. So glad I found this channel. I've been fascinated with the Victorian era for some time so it's nice to have a channel that tells first-hand experiences that I can listen to
    13
  1131. Thank you for posting your videos I love getting notification ever week
    13
  1132. Hmm. Oliver Twist wasn't all that realistic then. This was fascinating and I learned much! Thank you!
    13
  1133. Love the old photos, thanks.
    13
  1134. Hey! I'm ready to unwind with my fave YouTuber! I love history and you have made me more obsessed 😍.
    13
  1135. Authentic voice. Bravo! (And Thank You)
    13
  1136. I had no idea this book existed and I’m absolutely blown away. Thank you.
    13
  1137. Excellent video a bout a rather obscure aspect of Victorian culture. Much appreciated. Thank you.
    13
  1138. I hope your channel continues to bring these stories to us!
    13
  1139. Love your channel and content its a real account of how it was back then for most if not all the poor souls that have come and gone❤
    13
  1140. Great story! These make my Sunday evening so pleasant, thank you!
    13
  1141. I'm happy to have found you. This content is very pleasing to me as an intellectual history buff. I really appreciate the representation of those who have 'had no name' and been left to fade away in the shadows of our personal legacies in becoming a civilized culture. Well done. Thank you.
    13
  1142. Excellent, thank you. As an avid reader I knew life in the "stews" of New York had been bad, but had no idea of the scale. I'm actually feeling rather stunned,as your presentation was so detailed and evocative.
    13
  1143. Love the voices.
    13
  1144. Keep up the great work! You do such a wonderful job with the dialogue and various accents.. sharing with us glimpses into the very real struggles for survival for these individuals.
    13
  1145. I love this stuff. I'm a Yank as well as an anglophile.
    13
  1146. " Ooh Fact Feast! " - me 2023
    13
  1147. It’s been a few weeks since I checked in but I’m glad once again to get my Sunday night treat!
    13
  1148. You're narration of her gut wrenching account was absolutely fantastic. So full of emotion, like it's actually her being interviewed.
    12
  1149. I'm here!!! First!!!! I love your uploads. They should have a warning about how addictive they can be!
    12
  1150. I love your photos and illustration's. Always very interesting. 👍
    12
  1151.  @FactFeast  I agree in the cities a hell hole..They lived 40 miles south of Chicago..The whole neighborhood block were Italians, another block Irish, etc..By the time I was born 1948, we lived with them the first 5yrs of my life..Wonderful memories of huge grapevine, lots of tomatoes, in backyard..Thank you for all you do putting videos up. Ciao
    12
  1152. It was part of my deceased mother's recollection that even in the early 20th Century, in the East End, an uncle and aunt had produced thirteen children and that he committed suicide, unable to find regular work even of the lowest sort. I wonder, thinking on this, whatever happened to that wife and children, and the thought is unbearable.
    12
  1153. This was a very interesting and informative video! I can’t help but wonder if people understood back then that having more and more children all of the time was significantly contributing to their constant struggle to live in an environment conducive to raising a healthy and well provisioned family? Surely, they knew it was not ideal to do so and surely some method of contraception was somewhat effective. It’s very sad to hear about their struggles; particularly for the children. It was totally not their fault that they had parents who were too dull and ignorant to stop reproducing in order to decrease their financial obligations. I hope all of these children found a course of action to come out of poverty and live a happy, healthy life. I know that they’re not alive any longer, so may they all rest in perfect peace. 🙏✝️🕊🌹
    12
  1154. Thanks Fact Feast You Rock!🤘❤️
    12
  1155. Fascinating step into some else's shoes!
    12
  1156. Thank you .
    12
  1157. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary sir . As always iam gathering information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s I read article titled untold story of spitalfields silk weavers Liz trenow author of silk weaver . She describes history inspired her new historical romance set in dangerous world of London silk world . She said I was born to family of silk weavers whose business started in early 1700 s in spitalfields , East London and are one of just three companies still weaving today ( now in Sudbury , suffox ) we can trace ancestors back to 1666 first recorded address I discovered was in Wilkes street , then called wood street to house is still there . House in Wilkes street where silk company bega. Corner of Wilkes street , princele street, called princess is house where silk designer Anne Maria Garth heart of silk industry, that produced over thousands patterns for damasks and brocades many of which are today in Victoria and Albert museum. She said my ancestors would have known and possibly worked with , most celebrated textiles designer of 18 th century, whose silk were sought after by nobility Britain and America.
    12
  1158. I feel like this guy lived it tells the story’s so well . Enjoy your documentary’s chap
    12
  1159. Sunday, sinful London, the stenorous tones of the narration. Perfect!
    12
  1160. Just discovered this channel- going through the back catalogue, liking/commenting, and will certainly share. Wonderful work- much appreciated. Slow and steady, your channel will grow and get more followers. Hard work like this doesn’t remain ignored!
    12
  1161. Yes! There was a movie made in like 2000ish called Gangs of New York, it’s fantastic
    12
  1162. Utterly horrific. If Henry Maythew hadn't made the effort to document the lives of these poor people no one would have a clue as to the grinding reality of the everyday struggle by 000s a for basic existence. And now, 200 years later, centuries after they've died a tiny few come alive by the miracle of the internet.
    12
  1163. Salute @FactFeast for this blast from the past
    12
  1164. Excellent presentation; I passed your info on just now to some of my friends, so hopefully you'll get even more new subscribers. Keep up the good work mate.
    12
  1165. Another fantastic video, Mate! This one was eye-opening as I had no idea about "Hulks!" Terrific (professional) narration, editing and loaded with amazing art (ie. 11:40 ). I just love this charcoal artwork! It is so well done. Also, I love your usage of panoramic view as evident here with is piece. 17:36 -- The Man on the far left is staring right at me and through me--Soulless & haunting...what a wild sketch! Victorian artists were so talented. Isn't it funny how, when the Victorian journalist is toured around the Hulk, everything is "ship-shape?" The inmates (and guards) are on their best behavior, everything is orderly and being cleaned. Inmates are reading the Bible and eating, etc. The doctor is even there with salve! I'm suggesting it usually wasn't like this. Maybe I'm wrong though... It just reminds me of businesses bringing in company "big wigs" around to look at the warehouse (where I've worked, at least). Everything is unusually clean, and workers are looking like they're working hard. TY so much for the content!
    12
  1166. Thank sir for wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly with every new video I learn new information and new vocabularies. Tenement is type of building shared by multiple dwelling typically with flats or apartments on each floor shared entrance stairway acces . It’s common on British isles particularly in Scotland. Victorian terrace originally built in 1855 as transformed into three energy off terraced home to create living refurbishment lab . Best wishes for you your family friends.
    12
  1167. No watching TV for me I love history brilliant
    12
  1168. Thanks for upload 👍 facts about the past ( I find it so sad) ppl back then had to do thus kinda things that WE NEVER HAD TO DO! BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR ANCESTORS
    12
  1169. That blew me away… going to share it everywhere- merry Christmas all xx
    12
  1170. Like a hairy coat hanger dangling off his face, he’d have to walk through a door side ways
    12
  1171. great video as always! historical streetlife is such an elucidating (and tragic) topic - you present it so well. id be interested to hear your opinion on George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London ? a video on street life/rough-sleeping in the Edwardian Era to the post/inter-war years in Britian would be amazing!
    12
  1172. Another fabulous video documenting the past! I truly enjoyed this video very much.
    12
  1173. Another very fine and informative video!! Very interesting, but also very sad. Thank you again for your fine work.
    12
  1174. Seems to be a long standing tradition (going back, I wonder, as far as the Celtic 'fianna' and Robin Hood?) of certain young men in the UK banding together to fight each other and society. These gangs / bands always seems to serve the function of providing an outlet of behaviour for young, disinherited, men.
    12
  1175. Perfect content and sir your voice always fits the stories
    12
  1176. I wonder if life in America was similar to life in England during the Victorian period.
    12
  1177. My great grandmother used to breed those little terrier’s. I heard they were not friendly. Thinking about it from this point of view it was probably for the rats. I’m sure Chicago was full of them 100 plus years ago.
    12
  1178. Oh no!!! I'm 30 min. Late....I'm always eagerly waiting for the next one Whitechapel hasn't changed much over the years.😉 It is still a bit of a dump. Has some beautiful Victorian buildings though.
    12
  1179. So interesting, heartbreaking and well read. Thank you.
    12
  1180. Another brilliant video! Really loving the victorian history and how different things have become scince then. Also quite amused at how the criminal's are made to pose on the chair for their mugshots, couldn't imagine that happening nowadays.
    12
  1181. Imagine on a hot summer's day/night 😢 Another fascinating documentary! I listen & thank my lucky star's that I wasn't involved in such misery.
    12
  1182. This was a really good one! 👍🏻
    12
  1183. Brilliant loved it , make you grateful for what you have .
    12
  1184. Yet another exquisitely delivered fascinating history lesson. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you so much
    12
  1185. Just the straight facts. I love this. There's still lots of ghost or historic towns I haven't visited yet in Colorado!
    12
  1186. My 3rd great grandfather was a Pastry Cook at number 175. A few doors down from Jamrach's Menagerie. My pastry cook moved out in 1840 to Limehouse causeway, just as Charles Jamrach took over the family business. There was another tiger escaped years before in 1839. It wandered down commercial road, killed and ate a dog and was captured in someone's back garden.
    12
  1187. Excellent as always..your voice is amazing
    12
  1188. I'm ICU nurse and have cared for patients receiving leech therapy. It's pretty cool. The leeches are grown in sterile environment and dumped in alcohol after they feed. Saving hands and fingers after mostly farm accidents.
    12
  1189. Thank you 😊❤
    12
  1190. I just started to follow you, so glad I found your site. You sound like someone who has lived and grown in these horrible places. Gives one insight of how lucky we are, your voice demands attention. You have mine, thanks for your hard and important history lessons.
    12
  1191. Thankyou so much for doing manchester... I really appreciate it thankyou 😊❤ in Bolton where I live there were loads of old cotton Mills and majority are still standing.. they've been turned into warehouses and places were you can run your own businesses from.... its crazy to see a lot of the old pipes and things in side these big Mills and history is still in them it's crazy and fascinating at the same time. I asked you to do manchester and you did... thankyou so much... its so much appreciated... I should look into bolton and see what it was like... as the the majority of my ancestors worked in the Mills on bolton 😊
    12
  1192. Thank you so much I love the content, I'm obsess with it. 😂 I've always wondering if they were better of living in the country side at that time or if it was worst if you were poor.
    12
  1193. Thank you, love your channel. 👍❤️
    12
  1194. To read more about poverty in Victorian London I would suggest 'A Child of the Jago'. Such unbelievable crushing poverty.
    12
  1195. Fascinating look into past society
    12
  1196. Another unsung hero! Thank you for bringing her good deeds to us!
    12
  1197. Amazing photographs and a unique narrative. I sense a history of oyster consumption in London coming on... please! Once the poor man's food, millions were imported from Roman times onward to London every year from Kent, Essex and elsewhere. However, as towns developed, sewage pipes were placed near the oyster beds causing outbreaks of typhoid and other diseases that, ultimately, destroyed this trade. I'm sure you could get to the bottom of that AND uncover some forgotten contemporary narrative. I can only imagine Victorians must have been possessed of much stronger stomachs than us, their cosseted descendants. All the best.
    12
  1198. Good voice over, kinda reminds me of my old primary school teacher who would do voices like this while reading books
    12
  1199. I looked up all the factual info around Gangs of New York. Missed this about the location and time period. Thanks for the new info.
    12
  1200. Yes. There is a certain decency in wearing shoes! Tell my sister that! 😁
    12
  1201. Done ghosthunts here a few times. Dont forget Silvia, she's haunting the tower as well :) She shouted very loud in my ear...SILVIAAAAAAAA !! Also a smell of Jasmin can be smelled :)
    12
  1202. My Sunday supplement is listening to the great Fact Feast
    12
  1203. Love watching and especially listening to this channel...the wretched conditions that the poor endured make me thankful for my cozy, modest home, and for having enough to eat. I also have affordable medical care and have not put up with a bad tooth without access to the dentist next day. What a privilege!
    12
  1204. I love the use of nuisance instead of infections disease. I don't think I could do that job regardless of the money. Especially with not wearing a mask. At first I thought that they burned the clothes but their way of cleaning them was ingenious. Loved the pictures of the actual tools they used. I wonder what the places smelled like after all the fumigation and painting carbolic acid. I have to admire them.
    12
  1205. Fact feast 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Always fantastic history I appreciate you sharing 💎💎💎
    12
  1206. Quaker Oats has been around a long time. I have a canister of it in my cupboard. it's good stuff with sugar and maple syrup.
    12
  1207. both my paternal grandparents were from the eastend and lived through the blitz as kids (no evacuation for them). they're both the most kind, honest, caring wonderful people, but both spoke their mind, wouldn't suffer fools lightly swore like sailors! haha love 'em to death
    12
  1208. The poor man though he did turn some of his help away. He was so lucky to have the cobbler for his friend. It's scary that there was a waiting list to get into the hospital when you were sick. It was an extra shame as he was obviously intelligent and not just a laborer. I am sure that so many of the men he helped getting better working conditions at the docks would have helped them if they could. Though I am sure most of them probably needed their wages to survive themselves. I have watched some posts on celebrities who traced back their family histories and found out that they had had family who lived and died in the workhouses much to their surprise.
    12
  1209. Where I live there is a severe housing shortage and my landlord is doing her best to provide housing for people with dogs and at an affordable rate, she could easily be renting this 6 bedroom house out for $6,000 a month instead she's renting it for $3,500, I'm paying $1,000 for the lower floor with two bedrooms so many people in my community are renting one bedroom in their home without privacy for over a thousand.. she is also an Ethics lawyer who deals with mental health problems and has been super supportive to me for the last few years as I deal with issues,, fortunately those issues just involve my mental health not failing to pay rent
    12
  1210. New favorite channel, what I've always searched for 👌
    12
  1211. I just shared this video with my mother who said thatthe train that my grandfather drove went by this area until about the 1950s when the city cleared out the land. Nice to know something new about my grandfather who has passed away many years ago.
    12
  1212. I so look forward to these stories every Sunday morning. They have become part of my Sunday morning routine
    12
  1213. I’ve only been subscribed for a few weeks. Rlly enjoy listening to this narrator as I potter around doing chores
    12
  1214. Thank you for all your videos. I love watching them. I have a great interest in Victorian history. The video on cotton mills was extremely well researched. Thanks.
    12
  1215. I always know that I can give a thumbs up even before I watch it because I always enjoy and look forward to your uploads! ☺️
    12
  1216. Tragic, how many children were affected. No doubt many of them were even cheated out of their full wage by unscrupulous bosses who knew the children were vulnerable and had no power to complain. It's one thing to know that these child laborers were exploited, but it is much more poignant when you look at their images and stare into their tired and dirty little faces. I absolutely LOVE history, especially that of the U.S., Britain and Scotland. Thank you so much for these incredible images and narrative.
    12
  1217. Interesting upload Sir,I come from a time when as a child plucking turkeys at Xmas for a few pence. Cleaning the market pig pens on a Thursday afternoon for 1/-6pence for 4 hours then later aged 14 off loading by hand 4 ton of fertilizer each sack 1cwt.
    12
  1218. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s prison hulks were floating prison used from 1778 as temporary accommodation from prisoners from overcrowded jails . Definition of hulk is ship that is still float but unable to put to sea . The ships were decommissioned and converted warships. Conditions aboard ships were unhealthy and unhygienic. Last hulk being decommissioned in Gibraltar in 1884 . Between 1776and 1884 british government had converted more than 150 ships into convict , guard receiving hospital and school hulks . Hulks form of punishment prisoners in hulks were set to hard labour in dockyards or on bank rivers . Those on Thames were put to work improving navigablilty of river by removing gravel and soil from it shore . Good luck to you your dearest ones .
    12

    12
  1225. Your videos are so good! I love historical reading, mostly London and Paris underbelly, 1850-1920. I love Zola and Dickens. Anyway, I've subscribed and watch every evening. I love the paintings, etchings and illustrations, too!
    12
  1226. Catching up with Fact Feast late, but better late than ever. Thanks for keeping me riveted to your channel!
    12

    12
  1230. What an interest video.thankyou for doing this.i enjoy all your uploads.
    12
  1231. I like the Pencil drawings of people, it reminds me of Spitalfields in London at the end of 19th century, when I was in my local pub last week, I done your voice, I said "In the summer of 1888 in the East End of London, Jack the Ripper is still at large" everyone started clapping, I enjoy these vlogs, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England, The reason I put Cumberland is that where going back to Cumberland next Monday, the former name is Cumbria
    12
  1232. More fantastic content, thank you so much 😊
    12
  1233. I found your page today. And you have an amazing voice and it is facinating to learn about the past.

    12
  1240. Great channel mate, great content.
    12
  1241. Imagine walking past one of these poor children and then reading that story, how much you'd cry. 😭😭😭 I really hope nobody in the future will ever have to be poor.
    12
  1242. Another interesting and informative explanation of social history. I love this channel. We are blessed that that times have changed and circumstances have improved. It luck of the draw when and how you are born into the world
    12
  1243. To find a new video from the channel is such an enjoyment. Some times I just listen to them all again just because you have such a pleasant voice and interesting content. So happy to have found this
    12
  1244. Thanks YouTube algorithm for suggesting this video! What’s a wonderfully, mellifluous voice you have! Oh how I enjoyed my time here. Thanks for sharing. ❤️I’m off to see what else you have to offer

    12
  1247. Thanks FF happy Sunday ❤❤😂🎉😊😅
    12
  1248. Hiya Fact Feast, I cant believe how close the slum areas are to the Capitol Building, I thought they would put the slum areas well away from the president and congress, I enjoyed this vlog, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England
    12
  1249. I enjoyed watching this great video. I remember going to second hand stores as a child an I still go to Goodwill and second hand stores I always wash what I buy
    12
  1250.  @FactFeast  Thank you for giving me a place to tell my Grandmother's story. There was no internet when she passed away and only a handful of people ever knew about what happened to her baby sister. And now I have set this story free. 🤍🌷🌱
    12
  1251. I am particularly interested in the topics and pictures you present. Outstanding narration. I look forward to catching up, and awaiting your future efforts. Now subscribed to, sharing, and liking, your brilliant uploads. Thank you kindly. Please be safe.

  1252. The slums of Narrow Marsh were just as bad. Home to the lace trade workers of Nottingham. Police only went in there in pairs, if at all. My great great Grandmother had 14 children of which 4 survived to adulthood, all born in Sussex squire, Narrow Marsh.
    12
  1253. My great grandparents left Genoa and arrived in New York in 1884. They lived in a tenement on Baxter Street near Bayard Street for years before moving to Downing Street in the Village and then on to Bay Ridge. Their neighbors on Baxter Street were mostly Genoese who spoke the dialect (which to my ear sounds more like French than Italian) There were still some Irish and Irish-Americans living on lower Baxter in those days. I am told my family often spoke of Baxter Street in fond reminiscences. Thank you for the informative video and evocative photos!
    12
  1254. What about woman's dose houses don't really hear of them so much
    12
  1255. Thank you. Your narration is sublime What compelling arguments for change these reformers offered
    12
  1256. Love this channel ❤
    12
  1257. Your channel popped up on my news feed. So interesting thank you so much for this. New subscriber here 👍🏻
    12
  1258. Another great video! As usual, timeless narration & expert editing (with outstanding artwork). It's amazing to me how conditions were back then. I mean, I knew it was bad...but I never knew how appalling it was until Fact Feast brought it to light on YouTube. Every time I take a hot shower I count my blessings...
    12
  1259. I love this channel ❤😊!!!!!
    12
  1260. You’re terrific, Fact Feast! Please never stop

    12
  1262. Clicked on this video as soon as i saw it, love ❤ this channel.
    12
  1263. The best thing about these videos is the illustrations and photos that are true to the time period. Gives an added dimension so many historical videos miss.
    12
  1264. so glad i found your channel its so great
    12
  1265. My Sunday evening is never complete without FactFeast. Thank you for yet another fascinating video.
    11
  1266. Carry on with these vids. Love 'em
    11
  1267. I love the subtle use of street sounds and your accents are applaudable. Regards and best wishes from Loutraki Greece

  1268. Thanks for making this Sunday evening interesting !
    11
  1269. Very entertaining video today❤
    11
  1270. Love this channel!
    11
  1271. How could anyone, if they watched one 'Fact Feast' video, not want to see more? Just the illustrations are worth it, alone. Thank you.
    11
  1272. Excellent content, as always!
    11
  1273. I literally uttered “thank you” aloud for this video. ❤️🙏🏽 keep up the good work!!

  1274. The Custodian Helmet is the headgear traditionally worn by male police constables and sergeants while on foot patrol in England and Wales. Officers of all ranks in most forces are also issued a flat, peaked cap that is worn on mobile patrol in a vehicle. Ranks above sergeant wear the peaked cap only. However, some Inspectors wear the Custodian Helmet, but with two silver bands around the base (to match the two pips worn as rank insignia) to denote their position. Claimed by some sources to have been based on the spiked pickelhaube worn by the Prussian Army, it was first adopted by the London Metropolitan Police in 1863 to replace the "stovepipe" top hat worn since 1829. In 1863, the Metropolitan Police replaced the previous uniform of white trousers, swallow-tailed coat and top hat in favour of very dark blue trousers, a more modern button up tunic and the early type of helmet which had an upturned brim at the front and a raised spine at the back, running from the bottom to the top of the helmet, which became known as the "cockscomb".
    11
  1275. Love this channel. ❤
    11
  1276. Thank you! Listening to you is always a yummy way to end a beautiful Sunday. Being reminded how good we have it in our comfortable abodes
    11
  1277. WELL DONE 👏👏👏I enjoyed every minute 👍😜
    11
  1278. The photos and drawings in these vids are stunning. Thanks for sharing.

  1280. The poor Iaw schooI in Sutton buiIdings stiII stand today. I often wonder if the peopIe working in these buiIdings today reaIise the crueIty that was once common there.
    11
  1281. 'human kennels' sums up the situation ... bad & sad ... Thank You for your honesty in narration Fact Feast
    11
  1282. Thank you for this video. I was born is Washington DC and have lived there most of my life, so this was especially interesting to me.
    11
  1283. Great work as always
    11
  1284. Love your videos.
    11
  1285. I have just found your channel and subscribed, I have always been interested in social history ,this is right up my street excuse the pun. My grandmother was born in 1899 and told me many stories. It is easy to see how so many infants and young children died in infancy. Regards from North Yorkshire.
    11
  1286. Thank you. This is another reason we have womens lib. It wasn't supposed to become extreme and to persecute men but the original intent is well justified.
    11
  1287. I love this vid...it hits home..❤️
    11
  1288. What is missing is that during the Victorian era the was more rich " Patrons & Benefactors " for the poor than at any other time in our Islands history. It was your moral Christian duty to help those less fortunate than you. Affordable council housing for the poor was invented by a rich American banker living in London, George Peabody , and by 1902 the was over 400 registered charities in London. Our boroughs are adorned with beautiful statues/plaques and even public parks because of rich Victorians. The is two sides to every coin. 😉
    11
  1289. I remember, as a little girl my Mother and a neighbour talking of the “disgraceful” dosshouse in Birmingham City Centre. Of course, at the time I didn’t know what a dosshouse was - eventually being told (as you say) that it was a hotel for poor people. That particular dosshouse has apparently been given a new lease of life and is now a decent hotel where the accommodation is on a par with most other hotels.
    11
  1290. Great video as always. Thank you.
    11
  1291. I Love Fact Feast❤
    11
  1292. Enigmatic and lively narration, brings the images to life 😄
    11
  1293. Great stories and terrific narration. Love it.
    11
  1294. I love your stories! Specifically the role-plays
    11
  1295. Very interesting
    11
  1296. That was an excellent step back in time…it struck me how small everyone was then….4’ somethings, I don’t think I heard one person reach 6’ or over. Explains why old properties from that era are so low to us by comparison. The other thing of note is the hard lives they had to lead left it’s mark on their looks. Some men were only in their early 20’s but looked to be in their 40’s/50’s! Today we often complain about the cost of things, and now we have to live etc, but seriously,by comparison we almost live like kings. Poor people. It didn’t say what the hard Labour was, but it really would have been hard, and they could be yours or my ancestors! Thankyou for compiling such an interesting line up of Newcastle “Villains” from days gone by! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    11
  1297. Fascinating, in a dreadful way, and a fine early Christmas present! Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!
    11
  1298. Oh the audacity. Refusing pudding from fur clad villans. Haha best xmas story ive heard in a dogs age. Thanks
    11
  1299. I think he is mostly sympathetic, however his privileged upbringing will make him feel contempt. It's hard to understand a lower upbringing when you never had one
    11
  1300. Great channel. Fantastic narration. Bringing history to life. Thank you very much x
    11
  1301. Another banger! Fascinating observations in this one ☝️
    11
  1302. Another excellent presentation.
    11
  1303. Yay I ❤️ Fact Feast!
    11
  1304. Looks like the leech users (medical) had the right idea though being used for the wrong treatment...they knew the leeches had value but not exactly why. The little animals emerging in microscopes were incredible & welcome. I've had creek leeches on me they are small & brown; b/c we as country kids would swim in all the local creeks; these leeches though small would stick tight & I hated them. The little animals confused people b/c they couldn't believe that something they could not see would make them sick. Influenza colds, C~19 all come from these same little animals making people sick. They of course could see the leeches but not the other things in the water making them sick later as you mentioned in your highly interesting video as a side effect of being in the water & polluted air. That big green leech was horrific & the horse leech can you imagine being covered in those.
    11
  1305. That was my favorite story when I was a child. One night there was a little movie on TV and I knew watching it was a baf idea to watch it but I did anyway and cried the entire way through it. I was 8 yrs old so that was 50 yrs ago and I still remember it like I watched it yesterday. That story and Charlotte's Web was my totally favorite books and movie's. And to be totally honest they still are in that genre.
    11
  1306. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually gangs appear to have spread in new England in early 1800 as industrial revolution gained momentum in first large cities in USA newyork, Boston, Philadelphia. Forty thieves likely have after Ali baba and forty thieves we have this gang in our Arabic tales one thousand and one night- were formed in 1825 and all eyed to be first known as oldest newyork criminal street gang . Thieves consisted primarily of Irish immigrants and Americans who terrorized five point neighborhood of 19 th century Manhattan.
    11
  1307. Workhouse conditions were harsh, but life outside the workhouse was also extremely harsh for many people on the lowest rung of the social ladder. In the days before social security benefits, thousands would have starved without the workhouses to turn to. The workhouse staff did their best with the facilities available to them. Charles Dickens’s “Oliver Twist” described conditions in a workhouse before Dickens had ever actually visited one. When he did later visit workhouses he wrote that he was favourably impressed with how the staff managed, and how inmates were generally treated. But he also believed passionately that the poorest people should have a better standard of living, and that their plight should not be overlooked by politicians.
    11
  1308. Many wonderful historical photos!!! Very interesting! ❤
    11
  1309. I enjoyed this video a lot more than the other videos where the landlords are all mean!
    11
  1310. Street urchins & guttersnipes. Excellent presentation & most enjoyable.
    11
  1311. Your content is great! I am just a random 24 year old from Austria but still I love hearing about peoples‘ situations from all walks of life. Plus your narration is great, I honestly can‘t believe such good quality of content is available for free :D Thank you!!
    11
  1312. Thanks! Your videos are fantastic, especially your narration.
    11
  1313. I bloody love Jack London... this narrating is flawless.
    11
  1314. Amazing video!!! In your research have you found interesting stories of the Kensington or Fulham workhouses? It's sad, but one of my English ancestors died in the Fulham workhouse in the 1880's. The description of the White Chapel WH was very eerie. I guess they were all like that! Thank you as always.
    11
  1315. Thank you for your hard work!
    11
  1316. What a great episode! I drink coffee daily, almost too much, to be honest. I've had coffee with chicory, not a bad taste, but it was manufactured like that on purpose, not to try and make the coffee beans go further. I will look into "saloop", I just want to give it a chance, maybe I'll like that as well. Thanks for the video! ✌️
    11
  1317. 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.🎉
    11
  1318. I really like this channel. I will re-listen to videos like: Starving in Victorian London, Slum Shopping in Victorian London, Working to Death in Victorian London, The Hell of Life in Victorian Slums and What Did the Victorian era Poor Eat? whenever I am feeling a bit sorry for myself, it works wonders to set my head right, I am very thankful to have what I do and live how I do. 😊Thank you for these videos.
    11
  1319. Thank you for another fascinating video. I am instantly drawn in to history by more wonderful commentary. Best wishes a peaceful Christmas to you sir
    11
  1320. Thank you very much indeed for this fascinating snippet of lesser known aspects of our social history ❤
    11
  1321. I'm surprised he survived some of those bites with how sick he said he was a few times.
    11
  1322. This is my favorite channel on YouTube. I really love the subject matter as much as the telling. Thanks for giving us such educational and edifying content!
    11
  1323. Fact Feast, your efforts and knowledge are so appreciated. We live in such a magical time. I love listening to you while I cook sunday dinner. I'm in a warm bath pampering myself with all the luxuries that modern society provides us. My life is far from perfect. But I have clean running water and towels hot and fresh from the dryer. Your stories remind me to be grateful. I spent the morning visiting my elderly parents. Then I had to tend to the elderly horses. But I came home to a warm clean bath. Ordered a pizza. Watched football on a television which I consider a magic box. You're a joy in this world and I am grateful that we can listen to you tell us stories, from the past, while you are an ocean away. In times past, only those who were blessed to sit around a fire with you would have heard the stories you tell us
    11
  1324. Wonderful (history) channel. Mayb ayy some point u cld add closed captions for us w poor hearing🥰Thank You
    11
  1325. I call this "The Good Old Days Were Terrible Channel."
    11
  1326. It’s a pity that the victorians didn’t reform the criminal code during the period of their era, I agree that crime should have consequences but the Victorians and beyond had a very strange approach to what “let the punishment fit the crime” really stood for, imagine today being sent to prison for stealing an apple 🍎 or imprisoned for being destitute, the whole system stank, and not just because of the unsanitary conditions that they were kept in. My first, but definitely not last, visit to your channel, I really like the way you narrate the stories of the subject, you have a great way of bringing the subject to life. Thanks very much for your hard work bringing this to life for us all. Subscribed. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦
    11
  1327. Very nice video! I found myself trying to do the math in my head from "old money", trying to figure out Billy's average weekly earnings.
    11
  1328. An interesting albeit heartbreaking vid. Got only a little more than halfway through and had to stop watching. It broke my heart and soul. :_VictoriansGreetings:
    11
  1329. When you look at the cost of living crisis and the social housing (or lack thereof) situation, things don't seem to have changed a great deal. Veterans on the streets, NHS waiting lists etc.... Great upload! Thanks 👍🇬🇧
    11
  1330. I love this narrators voices so much
    11
  1331. Fantastic content as always 😊

  1332. Those Illustrations are just brilliant!
    11
  1333. What a terribly sad existence.
    11
  1334. Happy Sunday F.F.❤

  1335. Great video. Great content and presentation yet again fact feast. Keep it coming
    11
  1336. Great content and delivery, thank you. Subbed.
    11
  1337. I just love the old photos would love to step back in time to see how they lived
    11
  1338. Thanks Fact Feast you never disappoint
    11
  1339. Thanks! I would like to hear more about the "workman's city'. I have read along about the Victorian Era, but never heard about such a place.
    11
  1340. I love the Jack London videos!
    11
  1341. Wow a great episode I was almost felt like I was there and the photography was a touch I class, another great vid I can't wait for the next one, merry Xmas and a great Hogmanay everyone 😜👍
    11
  1342. I live a 15 minute walk from here. I love learning about the local history. Keep up the awesome work!
    11
  1343. My favorite time of the week! Thanks, Fact Feast!
    11
  1344. What a bit of misery. A young boy on those busy streets hunched over, right at a level to receive kicks and abuse. Fascinating and well done as always!
    11
  1345. always a pleasure! teach me
    11
  1346.  @FactFeast  in my local museum theres a story about a 9 year old boy deported from county down to australia for stealing bread in 1860s, id imagine he would have looked much the same as these children
    11
  1347. Love your content, and appreciate your work and time.
    11
  1348. Thank you for another excellent piece.
    11
  1349. Thank you for taking the time & effort to share these.
    11
  1350. Love everything to do with history.
    11
  1351. Just came across your channel and I'm in love Thank you for doing this your videos are informational and entertaining.
    11
  1352. Thank you for covering Boston. Boston has to be the most European like city in America.
    11
  1353. Refreshing information especially these days Thank you 🌍♾️💯👋🏽
    11
  1354. This is a positive recollection! ❤❤❤❤
    11
  1355. I couldn't figure out why this was in my recommendations list. 2 minutes into the video I knew why !! Now I'm working my way through all the amazing videos you've made !! Thank you for your time and energy making all your wonderful videos !!
    11
  1356. I can see many of my own habits and his aversion to staying in the one place or job for long. I got bored very quick when I was a lad. I worked in the rag trade, I hated it. My passion was driving then and still. It didn't matter what the machine was as long as it had a engine and wheels. Itchy feet. ✌️☘️
    11
  1357. I just love these documentaries! I really liked the Irish one recently uploaded, I do think the Irish ☘️ had it extra rough. Even the photos in black and white show how destitute the tenements were!
    11
  1358. Great commentary and brings our London Ancestors to life.
    11
  1359. Lovely change of pace! On point and interesting. Thank you so much!!!
    11
  1360. I am subbed. In my city. Bone grubbers are still very busy. Sifting through the recyclables, looking for beer /wine/liquor empties . And also metal is prized , as they push shopping carts loaded with scrap, on the way to the dealers.
    11
  1361. My great grandparents came thru Ellis Island went to Pittsburg and lived among so many various immigrants, they didn't see "an American" they could recall in months if not longer!!! They were Austrian-Hungarians. And experienced prejudice as well. The cycle of immigration into U. S. has been since day one about the same since Plymouth Rock.😎
    11
  1362. Thank you for the video, I look forward to them. The children who were sentenced to hard labour, do you know what that would entail please? The sentences seem very harsh for small crimes but I suppose the court use them to deter others.
    11
  1363. Thanks for making this video, much appreciated. I really enjoy how long the video is, and how well researched it is. Your editing is also really good for such a small channel (especially compared to the editing on my one semi-popular video). I'll make sure to check out your other history videos.
    11
  1364. As a great fan of Dickens I found this fascinating ! It puts a real face on some of the characters and incidents in his stories and brings them into focus. Silas Wegg, in "Our Mutual Friend", though not a sweeper, has a little stall outside a "great house" and runs errands etc. for the residents of his small demesne, treating them with deferential affection as if he were an old retainer. I get the same feeling from Billy's descriptions of his patrons, although Billy was clearly of a superior moral character than rapacious old Mr Wegg ! Thank you for this, I am now going to re-read "Bleak House" !😊
    11
  1365. 🎅𝕄𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕪 ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕞𝕒𝕤🎄 This is the video I've been hoping for! You just made my Christmas wish come true ❤️
    11
  1366. what an interesting video!
    11
  1367. I’ve discovered that one of my great grandfathers was an East London chimney sweep in the Victorian years and beyond. Finding out more about my family’s lives was always going to be a story of poverty, but discovering a chimney sweep is quite something.
    11
  1368. You have a way of words. I love your narrative in describing history.
    11
  1369. Sunday night time travelling back in time courtesy of Fact Feast. Hit the like button & share.
    11
  1370. I've been really enjoying your videos 😊 thankyou for your hard work and wonderful story telling.
    11
  1371. I was born and raised in Evansville IN and enjoy these videos as I remember some of these stories from my grandparents / great grandparents
    11
  1372. Is the 5 points the area in Gangs of New York?
    11
  1373. BEST VOICE EVER! My god, you feel like your in a fairy tale with your great bearded old grandpa telling you stories of times long ago next to the fire. Absolutely enchanting.
    11
  1374. Best of your videos yet. I've read somewhat about Five Points, and the more you read, the worse it looks.
    11
  1375. Those poor children 😱🥹
    11
  1376. I’m really loving this channel!! It’s the greatest thing about Sunday!! Your content is always very interesting and captivating. I wish you much success with this endeavor! Cheers!
    11
  1377. Noooo! I'm an hour late!!!😲 You've rekindled my fascination with the Victorian era.
    11
  1378. Your graphics pictures enhance your great dialogue and story line. Thanks. we enjoy your work. 🏵️
    11
  1379. You have a way of telling a story that deserves a much bigger audience. Superb video. Have really warmed to your channel. Thank you so much for this interesting content.
    11
  1380. I watch one of your videos when I want to remember where am I and what I have.
    11
  1381. Brilliant script beautifully narrated. Fascinating. Thankyou.
    11
  1382. I always enjoy your videos. They have a knack of making me stop and think. Your narration is enjoyable from the beginning to end - of course, your heavenly accent does help enormously! This story is really unusual but it certainly goes to show that the young lady in question had a good upbringing and he only downfall was that moment of madness, brought on by desperation. I hope that she went on to live a fulfilling life. We all do like a happy ending.
    11
  1383. Recovering and having this to keep me company? It's a good day indeed! Thank you for, the as always, wonderful videos!😊
    11
  1384. You've got me obsessed with Victorian and Edwardian history,thank you❤️
    11
  1385. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 I am happy that for the most part London has worked out how to provide proper housing for all of the residents.
    11
  1386. I don't know what it is about those narrow small streets and courts where people lived on top of each other that is so fascinating. Love your videos! 👍👍
    11
  1387. N ice
    11
  1388. Your videos are terrifyingly fascinating. Shocking to hear how low neglect and degradation can be endured. It does feel like the UK is again enterring a dark period of an oppressed working labour class once again...
    11
  1389. Merry Christmas and happy Solstice! As usual, well researched, well told, and gripping. Your stories always make me realize that with all the difficulties I have struggled though had I been born in that era I probably would not have survived. I am really very lucky.
    11
  1390. How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language ido for my self test for advanced level in English thank god ihave pass mark because of reading information in google as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually pickpockets started in 17 th century famous pickpocket is bob Arno. He described as word most famous pickepocket praise for his unrivaled skills. Handkerchiefs were easy to steal and easy to re - seal and London is at number 10 in list of destinations where tourists are most likely to be pickpocketed such as oxford street have reputation for thieves. And pickpocketing in 1700and 1800s orphans street children were very poor many young people pickpockets called natty lads they not learn art of pickpocketing by their own young as five years old taught by older thieves.
    11
  1391. Yeah!!! I was waiting for you!!!!
    11
  1392. I love these so much. Thank you
    11
  1393. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel we appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students but really it’s very sad period of time victorian age was dark ages especially for poor miserable people from lower class as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s female maids work in houses to sew , empty chamber pots , dust haul water for bath , light fire house keeper title “ missus” maid helping her mistress with appearance including make up hairdressing clothing , jewelry shoes unfortunately at that time victorian houses have mistreatment of servants common place young maids especially vulnerable to being sexually sex exploited . Once hired they found themselves in households in which strict and unreachable hierarchy blew stairs . Pick pocketing as practiced. Great majority of female domestic servants did get married of course.

  1394. At least someone tried to help!🥲 This is a story of poverty stricken people doing what they have to to stay alive.

  1398. Some of my own ancestors lived in South East London. They led desperate lives - just as depicted in your films. One area they lived in was so bad that it was cleared in the 1890's. The families continually moved from house to house and could never settle in one place for long. They were continually surrounded by death and starvation. I have just discovered that one of my ancestors had a criminal record. From a genealogical perspective this is brilliant, because prison records are amazing. However, he was less than 5 feet tall, and weighed only 6 stones. This alone is an indicator of how appalling life was. He was imprisoned for several offences - mostly involving stealing food or clothing. - Things needed to survive.
    10
  1399. This was extremely informative. I had imagined much worse conditions.
    10
  1400. Amazing as always! Keep up the fantastic work, we love this channel!
    10
  1401. Really!? Tiberius as evil? Realize he isn't popular for his reign, and sorta really fell off grid furing his retirement... complete with fawns and other pleasures... But evil? Would have tether considered Julian instead....
    10
  1402. Really enjoy your content. My family are from Bethnal green, and it's mad to see how life would of been for them. Very interesting
    10
  1403. Amazing, that amount in todays money must run into millions, 20,000,wow .i can understand why they would use the money obtain from their work on drink , anything to anesthesia yourself to the life you found yourself in .as always most enjoyable and educational.
    10
  1404. Love these stories ❤
    10
  1405. Fact Feast You Are An Awesome Educator & I Appreciate You Thanks For All Your Work!!!😊🤍
    10
  1406. Love the history and pics thanks 👍👍
    10
  1407. Thank you. As ever, amazing source material. All of the people sat on the same chair. Interesting to hear of their stature, that they were all significantly shorter than modern, well nourished people. Also to witness the destitution and early ageing. It would be very interesting to know more about the victims. I cannot imagine some of them to have been much better off than the perpetrators and what's the problem with railway workers which necessitated them stealing ale? Opportunistic thievery for some, desperate deeds for others. Jailing people is what they did in the mid-nineteenth century and that might have been a better option than freezing and starving to death for a homeless, destitute and unemployable person.

  1408. Fantastic presentation. Thank you for your hard work *
    10
  1409. Wow! I had no idea they had so much to do. We are so spoiled. New subscriber. I'm going to use you in my daughter's history lessons.

  1412. Thanks ff😊
    10
  1413. I just started listening. You got a voice that is clear and bears a great accent for reading this kinda lore. History is a subject I am passionate about, glad you are highlighting a rougher side few know about.
    10
  1414. Victorian and Edwardian eras were the most horrible, respect to those who lived during those times.
    10
  1415. I love your videos…the commentary always sounds like an early version of a Grauniad columnist sending in his copy before flying down to his Tuscan villa for the weekend.
    10
  1416. This particular video was MASTERFULLY done! Robert from daytradingwiththelight
    10

    10
  1421.  @FactFeast  I really do find both value and meaning in these videos. I started out just interested and curious but have every single week learned to be more thankful for a life that I thought sucked and was not enough... Thank you.
    10
  1422. My grandfather was from a street in Malden (Essex, UK) which had the nickname Dagger Lane. The past was grim.
    10
  1423. Can’t wait to watch this on my break at work tomorrow! Your videos always put a smile on my face with how original and informative the content/facts are, and I love the voice acting. Are you a professional voice actor by any chance? If not you should look into it
    10
  1424. This voice fits these videos so great it just belongs together and the way this fine voice tells a story magical
    10
  1425. My Sunday beverage to quench my thirst👊🏽
    10
  1426. This was fascinating and well-researched.
    10
  1427. Another video to further make me appreciate my current position as gas jockey in the only state in the US that (knock on wood!) still forbids self pumping. $15hr.+OT..I've got 99 problems but a good job ain't one 😅🍀
    10
  1428. Your stories are always interesting and frequently entertaining, though tragic. Thanks for such great content!
    10
  1429. I read a fictional book on a rag and bone store owner and wondered how accurate it was, not too shabby on the author’s part and very informative video. Thanks for making it and posting it. Your channel is very interesting.
    10
  1430. Yay! New video! I really enjoy listening to your voice and I learn so much. Thank you for such wonderful content!

    10
  1441. You have such an amazing voice. You truly bring history alive!!

  1442. Your narration and the photographs make me feel as if I'm back in time witnessing history itself!😮

  1446. You deserve to have far more subscribers.
    10
  1447. This video was excellent! Very well researched, and so tastefully done. I learned things I never realized about the slums in Victorian England. Your attention to detail is impeccable! I also like your narration voice!
    10
  1448.  @FactFeast  I think so. Aside from minor skirmishes in the Balkans region and Germania that were put down relatively easily his rule was largely peaceful and he increased the coffers of the empire substantially in his 23 year rule.
    10
  1449. Excellent thanks.🇬🇧
    10
  1450. I absolutely look forward to these videos.Such good narration and pictures to go along with it are fantastic 👌
    10
  1451. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel although it’s very sad topic at Victorian area especially for poor low class but deserving reading research as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually orphans in Victorian era who could not find place in orphanages sometimes had to live on streets or in workhouses in Victorian society unfortunately orphans also often treated with disdain and distrust due to their reputation as criminal prone in individuals they were victims of classic Victorian contradictions. Victorian orphans might have one of two parents alive or relatives who have taken role of caretakers . Many orphans were abandoned abused even bought or sold thought to be born evil . They survive with money they earned daily , take food from street vendors sometimes by stealing or begging food from hotels or restaurants. During Victorian era 60 percent of all criminals turned to be orphans if child was not adopted or taken into institution. Many orphans of boys and girls died from simple as fever lack of treatment typhus t, tuberculosis major of these diseases tended to happen around charity schools orphanages because of severe vulnerable of environment . Male orphans were trained for life of army women were trained by governesses most became housewives we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well best wishes for you your family friends

  1452. Last part of my research old curiosity shop is building dates to 16 th century ( 1567) in area known as Clare market name was added after novel was released as it was thought to be inspiration for dickens description of antiques shop . For example of shops in Victorian era shops were run by women milliners , seas masteress , dressmakers . There are too Street sellers. Rag collector , bone man, rag man ,old clothes man, junk man , junk dealer , bone picker who collected unwanted items and sells to merchants . There are too at that time in 1880s groceries, tools , clothing , seed people sell those items . Victorian fashion bonnets , corsets, top hats , bustles ,petticoats.slop shops ( ready made clothing) are sold . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well. Happy valentine to you best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  1453. Looking forward to the video on Diocletian, I've often thought of him as a very successful Emperor (besides his poor handover of the Tetrarchy and the shift from Principate to Dominate). I thought he did well to stabilise Rome and end the Crisis of the 3rd century. Will be really interesting to see the video!
    10
  1454. Thank you for the great content! I love your channel 🤗

  1462. Prisoners of war? How did that go? I remember reading some POWs were kept upon small rocks of islands in some bleak river mouth, have you any knowledge of this situation?😊
    10
  1463. Great narrator. Very interesting
    10
  1464. Really enjoyed this, we lived in a three story Victorian house in North London. We had the middle part of it and we had neighbours above and below us. No security in between just a council house with different families in it. Me and my sister used to go out and get pallet wood and stuff to burn on the fire as the house was soooo cold, tough times in the 70s but when I look back it was kinda special in a way as we all worked together to get through it. Think living in that house is where my interest in Victorian times came from. Thanks so much for uploading this
    10
  1465. It’s never easy to find your niche on YouTube, but you certainly found yours. Well done, excellent work and keep it up! The content is fantastic as always!

  1466. Last part of my research between 1869 to 1883 several thousand or laborers and engineers worked above . Many of laborers were immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Italy, most worked for daily wages of 2, 000 to 2, 25 dollars. New York City increased transformed Brooklyn into brough , New York and increased population, from 58 , 000 inhabitants to 1 million over 15 years since Brooklyn bridge opened. Facts about Brooklyn bridge it’s 3 rd largest city in America larger than Boston, Atlanta, Washington DC , Minneapolis combined. It’s home of 2 nd largest black population of any city in North America. Over 1/3 residents were born in another country. Nearly 1 in 5 of Brooklyn residents live in poverty. Brooklyn bridge called great east river suspense bridge . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  1467. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary sir . I gathered vital information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s Edwarnian era ( 1901- 1914) is last period in British history to be named after monarch who Reigned over it , relating to or characteristics Edward v 11 of England or his age especially of clothing, marked by hourglass silhouette for women and long narrow fitted suits and high collars for men . Edwardian pattern May have been cultural golden age . People using like soft pastels, pale blues , delicate pink , muted greens . The difference between victorian and Edwardian fashion while victorian fashion had been dominated by slightly corseted hourglass figure , new Edwardian silhouette was that of curve . Edwardian skirts foundation skirt of silk taffeta, Edwardian undergarments called chemise , drawers , petticoat, corset cover . Edwardian era known as ( gilded age ) women at that time wore corsets and long skirts. Men still wore suites compete wardrobe included hats and gloves and for women often umbrellas. I still remember chocolate box when we were kids picture of man wearing hat with suit color black , beside him woman wearing bonnet , and carrying umbrella. It’s very popular till nowadays mackintosh quality street for our happy occasions such as weddings, visiting sick people, welcome guests, graduation party . Edwardian corsets made of fabric such as coutil , jean , sateen , batiste . Edwardian dress high collar 3/4 length or full length sleeves with dainty cuffs , inserted lace or appliqué near collar bone , multiple layers of pin tucking and lace . Edwardian era have tea gowns and evening creatured evening dresses of silk satin fabric with empire waistline with statusque column silhouette. It’s great to know people in the Edwardian era caring about their clothes . We too in Arabic countries appearance and well dressed in front of people is very important because if person wearing fashionable clothes especially women , young ladies , people will respect them . If person wearing shabby clothes they think he is very stingy or poor .

    10
  1472. I really enjoyed this one Fact Feast. I hope he went on to have a good life. Awesome work as always. Take care. ✌️
    10
  1473. FactFeast does it again with that flash back to the past. Thanks
    10
  1474. 7.30 beautiful description of horror. Fantastic use of the English language!! I can almost reach out and touch and smell it.
    10
  1475. I am from New York City, and your documentary on the other side of England is quite sobering and moving. Back in the early 2000s, I came across the “People of the Abyss” by American author Jack London. Thanks for posting. I subscribed to your channel!
    10
  1476. Thanks for the video! Made me feel better about making a living as a junk hauler
    10
  1477. I think the scariest part to me is the guy who was sad they would loose that work to a machine
    10
  1478. I can imagine you doing this for the BBC it would make a great idea for a series there would be a lot of people interested in finding out how our ancestors struggle to find jobs and make a living in the Victorian and Edwardian era in Britain. I would like to see a film about what life was like in Ireland in the Victorian era because one side of my family came from Markethill in Armagh in the 1880’s. Many thanks. ❤️
    10
  1479. Great video. Thanks for making it
    10
  1480. How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel victorian age as i mentioned before it’s dark sad period especially for poor people low class but interesting topic at same time we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s workhouses definition it’s houses for correction for persons who were guilty of minor law violation and clothes they wear wollen material shawls to wear red flannel black shoes men wear thick corduroy trousers thick black socket there but people would not want to live in workhouses it’s considered shameful. They shared sleeping space eating space work side by side watched by guardians had their weekly bath kid’s taught there writing reading arithmetic religious instructions have master or mistress time table for prayer brake fast work dinner . Workhouses were built in 1824 developed by reverand John becher and George Nicholas in 19 th century. Punishment for children at workhouses noisy swearing locked for 24 hours only bread water it’s same for disorderly at prayer time fighting at school no cheese for one week quarrying fighting no meat for one week children learned there variety of skills needing to be small work as scavenger in cotton mill to have push heavy coal trucks along tunnels in coal mines poor themselves hated and feared workhouses riots in northern towns poor law in 1834 students there make beds clean shoes in 1948 poor law system was finally abolished.
    10
  1481. Most enjoyable, you certainly made history interesting. As another person has said, great narration.
    10
  1482. Interesting facts about Caracalla!
    10
  1483. Octavia Hill was instrumental in setting up the National Trust . There is a beautiful memorial bench dedicated to her memory in the woods below Ide Hill nr Sevenoaks in Kent . Those woods are filled with beautiful Bluebells at the moment ( May ) ✌️
    10
  1484. Thanks for the flashback @Fact Feast. In the days of William Shakespeare if you committed a crime in North London & crossed the bridge to South London you would not be pursued. I guess that’s why even up to today South London has a different energy
    10
  1485. Thank you for enlightening me on the life of a dock worker. My 2nd great grandfather was born in Norfolk and was a farm labourer before moving to South Shields, Durham where he worked as a lumper at Tyne Dock. I wonder how he managed to support his family on his wages. This was mid 1800's. His son went on to be a joiner.
    10
  1486. My great grandmother and her parents and siblings lived at Osgood place in Flushing Meadows village at the latter end of the 1890s. I wonder what it was like really?
    10
  1487. awesome...
    10
  1488. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s definition of asylum word means “ retreat “ or “ sanctuary “ and these institutions were originally built to protect mental patients. Asylums were used as way to keep mentally ill out of public eye , so many were tied up and treated like animals. Victorian word for mental illness lunatics. Asylums during victorian era were overcrowding, poor sanitation were serious issues In asylums, which led to movement to improve care quality and awareness at medical practitioners often treated mental illness with physical methods . This approach led to use of brutal practices like ice bathing and restraint . David j rothman who have discovery of asylums 25 years , later office of justice programs . Depression therapy in Victorian era have various methods and drugs were recommended and used in 19 th century such as baths , massage,ferrous, antidepressants have been known only for approximately 30 years . In 1880s asylums were institution were mentally ill were held , these facilities witnessed much ineffective, cruel treatment of those who hospitalized with them in both America and Europe these facilities were in need of reform . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as none native speakers. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  1489. My maiden name is Nichols. My father told me that there wasn't much written or oral history that he could share. I'm 70 this July 2023. My father passed in Jan 1985. I do wonder if my family history comes from this area of London.
    10
  1490. Really fascinating video. I can't get over the number of different roles they had by way of beggars etc. Much more organized than Britain. The monks were the early televangelists by being able to heal the 'sick' so amazingly well. You can see why the revolution happened. What was the film you were showing ? I have never seen Les Miserable so I don't know any comparison. Very enjoyable post.
    10
  1491. I love the narration and the language! Very entertaining!
    10
  1492. Great story. Too much Truth.
    10
  1493. Thanks for the vid!
    10
  1494. Love this channel. Another great episode. At a time where there is so much dross on YouTube your content is very much enjoyed and appreciated, many thanks for the great content👍
    10
  1495. This is timely and well presented. Thank you.
    10
  1496. Just found your channel. I love the content. This was a beautiful, yet stinging depiction of that time in that place. I’m eager to watch more of your videos.
    10
  1497. Here we are once again with our weekly flashback from the voice known as FactFeast. In 2024 Hoxton is now full of trendy Wendy’s & wilful Walter’s, oh how times have changed. Gentrification has claimed more territories than the local gangs. Once again thanks to FactFeast. P.S. Shared to Elons app
    10
  1498. Growing up around there in the 80s and having to cross the bridge to go to school we still called it stink house bridge, but I never knew why until now thank you.
    10
  1499. I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed this!💕
    10
  1500. Your voice is perfect for the seriousness of your topics. Thank you for that.
    10
  1501.  @FactFeast  Can't wait!!!
    10
  1502. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 AND “GOD BLESS US ALL EVERYONE”!!!
    10
  1503. They managed to find a little comfort while enduring such daily hardship, imagine how wonderful the hot bowl of soup must have tasted after a week perhaps more of bread and tea. So many layers in this video of Victorian life.
    10
  1504. The FIRST PRECINCT on North Moore Street is STILL there! I believe the Stable is there as well, I could be wrong. Hudson or Varick, I can't quite remember which..one thing people don't readily know, is that Charles Dickens proudly traveled with his younger Mistress, while his wife and children remained in England. How come? I'm wondering alot of things right now, as I add my unimportant comment..
    10
  1505. A fascinating slice of life, thank you. How great it is to have this treasury of biographical and social information, kept safe by previous generations. I scrutinized your rich picture montage, as usual.... a woman of 55 years in those days was considered getting towards being elderly 😳 The drudgery of life would have aged anybody prematurely. I'm not sure how they coped without Ibuprofen for sore muscles and joints, etc, but they knew that being outside in the sunshine and fresh air was good medicine. The travellers probably had better health than most in the cities at that time. The severely scraped back hairstyles that women had then didn't flatter them in older age, unfortunately. I'm so glad that wearing your hair out in this era is not considered an indicator of your moral character.😁 David Starkey said during his recent commentary of the Coronation, that Queen Elizabeth 1st had her golden hair loose on her Coronation Day, and was described as being "sat in her hair". She would have looked stunning, and magnificent.
    10
  1506. My Nan had a big family on the isle of dogs. She used to use newspapers for toliet roll. She got the toilet roll out only at Christmas and if she had visitors .

    10
  1512. Fascinating time period, The People of the Abyss, Joseph Merrick, Jack the Ripper, Workhouses, harrowing stuff for sure....Subbed, and definitely gonna be viewing many more on this amazing channel!!!
    10
  1513. I appreciate that you take the time to explain antiquated terms such as "trousseau" . your channel is top shelf. Faithful Subscriber & sometime member.
    10
  1514. I think this is the first time I've been shocked by the content of one of your vids. I have a reasonable general knowledge of that period of history but somehow I've never read much about the Canary Girls. I knew they turned yellow, and that they got the highest pay for women performing war service. (It was still, as you said, far lower than a man's pay for the same job,) I thought though that there was just a slight chance of being in an explosion, and I had no idea of the health risks. I also thought the yellow skin tone was literally skin deep, so the main hazard was embarassment. Thank you very much for your research and excellent production. I am always impressed by your presentations but this one stands out. It was most respectful of you to show the photos of some of the victims and I thank you for doing it. I really learnt a lot this time. As always., Kudos...but this time multiples of them! Thanks again.
    10
  1515. Thanks F.F.😊

  1519. Another fabulous job my friend
    10
  1520. Absolutely immersed into these videos. The narrating is exceptional.
    10
  1521. How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English as well . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for meaning of Flophouse term it’s originally slang means ( lie down to sleep) . American English Flophouse is place offers very cost lodging providing space to sleep and minimal amenities. Flophouse in British English means dose house, synonyms fleabag , flea box , flea house , flop joint? Rundown, boardinghouse. Nowadays in North America no longer has flophouses . Century of regulation shut them down but in Japan they live in modern form in capsule house.
    10
  1522. My nan grew up with 7 brothers and sisters in a 3 bedroom house with no bathroom and one toilet outside in the back yard. She was 77 before she got a sheltered accommodation flat with a bathroom faciity.
    10
  1523. Plenty of Victorian docs but there all the same but this, is something a bit outside the generic same old ones. Love it mate good job !!!
    10
  1524. Ahh this is horrible. I felt it on this one. I can just imagine how sickening that would be hearing the snores, coughs, cackles, and scratching. Oh and one can not forget the farting and other bodily sounds and I’m sure odors. Wow so rough.
    10
  1525. I love watching old photos and films, looking at people that used to live in this world makes me consider my own mortality.
    10
  1526. I just love your videos. Your voice somehow takes me back to that time. You make me feel like you are actually there describing it. These videos are an escape as well as informative
    10
  1527. 18 months hard labour plus 2 years supervision. That made me feel really sad for the kid...and he was still just a young man. I guarantee prison made him worse not better and I'm sure he was filled with fury at not being heard. You narrated this so well..as usual..that I felt like I was there in the courthouse listening to him speak. Can't wait until next Monday. :_VictoriansWorkhouse::_VictoriansGreetings:

  1528. Great job telling us the story of Soapy Smith. As a compulsive enquirer of stories from the Klondike gold rush, I had read all about Soapy. I think that Soapy Smith had worked out a perfect system where a combination of bribery, coercion, threats, and violence allowed him to grift, con, rob, and swindle great amounts in these nearly lawless boom towns, and the worst that would happen is that he would be run out of town. You might say he made a bet about what people would be willing to do to stop him. But he came to take that bet for granted. He'd stood down angry mobs before (always with a score of thugs behind him), but didn't count on someone just leveling a rifle and shooting him. Oops.

  1538.  @FactFeast  hi it was actually in the centre of Manchester England. There was quite a few girls in the family and my father said as they grew older they took responsibility and when they started work their mother had a easier life and used to go to the music hall regularly. One thing I remember him saying was they were always moving house. The girls would see a house to let that was better than what they had and they would give notice and just move. Strange but there must have been plenty of houses to let in those days.
    10
  1539. Lovely. Nice surprise to get a notification just after finishing work. Great way to wind down . Thank you 👍

  1544. Believe me, there were slums as bad or even worse in other big cities eg. New York, Paris etc etc etc. I am nor sure why London is always the target !
    10
  1545. Thank you. The Forbidden Street aka Brittania Mews is an old film set in London's poor streets, stars Maureen O'Hara, well worth a look, it's on YT.

  1574. The saloon pictured at 1:33 was located in the Amityville district of New York. You can tell by the windows.
    9
  1575. Whitecross Street?!?! That's a 15-20 min walk from my place. Oddly enough they have a food kiosks market theree nowadays and you can buy various foods from around the world rather cheaply. Theres also the head office for the homeless charity Shelter. Right off that road which used to be a salvation army shelter, you can see the fading painted sign on the building.

  1576. This story, particularly the ending, let me start my day with a smile. Thank you. As always, great stuff.

  1582. There was a total lack of understanding over the real reasons for poverty, with the social belief that it was God's will because of sins of the father's so the poor were held in contempt. It was only when Misters Rowntree and Booth conducted their respective surveys on the true reasons for poverty in 1899-1901 and 1886-1903 that opinion slowly started to change.
    9
  1583. Yeah! 1st🎉
    9
  1584. I need longer videos! I love hearing the stories of the past and how people lived then

  1585. Another thought provoking video from Fact Feast! 2 main things I instilled in my children - be grateful for what you have, and waste nothing! Our Ancestors hardships should always be remembered.

  1594. Thank you for covering this. Alameda St is still kinda rough. Homeless tents line the streets. Olvera St is right across from Union Station. There's an Adobe house that is a museum you can visit. On the hottest LA day mid summer, it's a cool 68 degrees inside. It's great to hear the history of LA highlighted by you. Our history doesn't get mentioned often. My mom tells me lots of stories from her childhood. Her house was the only one with a private bath. She told me everyone bathed outside. Her grandfather "disappeared." Anyhoo! Pasadena is awesome also! There's also San Francisco! Bodie! Omg sorry. I'm just excited thinking about all of the California history tails you could tell us. Thank you for your hard work

  1595. Last and most important part of my research historical context since most working age men were joining military to fight in war women were required to take on factory jobs by end of war almost three million women working in factories worked for long hours for low pay . Munitions work involved mixing explosive filling shells and bullets effect of working with tnt shells were with mixture of tnt explosives and cordite these. Ingredients were known to be hazardous to health they were mixed by hand contact with workers skin cause yellow pigmentation not only uk female munitions workers affected by. Tnt but also babies hundreds of babies were born with slightly yellow skin color because of their mothers exposure to dangerous chemical nothing could be done at that time but discoloration slowly faded with time thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information best wishes for you your family and friends

  1596. I love this channel so much. Hearing the actual words of these people is incredible. And your voices are great too! I feel completely transported every time. Thank you for all your work 😊 If you're taking requests... did anyone report on life on the canals?

  1597. I have just found out through dna results that family on my father’s side were from France and Denmark, they moved to Canterbury in the 10th century they are mentioned in the doomsday book and then married and expanded out into different areas of London and Kent one of my g,g,grandfathers was a Lighterman .

    9
  1601. I have enjoyed many of your videos and found this especially interesting .I had never heard of a penny gaff before ,though of course knew about music halls .I find it easy enough to understand how such places must have appealed to young people who's lives were otherwise pretty grim .It's not hard to imagine how bright and jolly they must have seemed ,at least compared to spending an evening in their (probably) cramped and cold homes .I expect the coloured lights ,painted walls ,music ,warmth and dancing seemed almost glamorous and the only fun and excitement they could expect for the most part .All very shocking and immoral to the comfortable middle class of course but morality is (And no doubt was ) easier from a warm fireside and a comfortable armchair .

  1602. Just watched it. Amazing video, this style of narration really makes you feel the circumstances. Thank you very much

  1606. Happy Sunday All & Thanks FF ❤

  1607. YES! BEEN WAITING EVER SINCE YOU TEASED IT!!!
    9
  1608. Thank you. A splendid narration! Looking at the boys at 11:30, and reminded of comments in previous Fact Feast documentaries, I wondered have you, perhaps, found any sources focussed upon descriptions of dental hygiene and dentition? I can't begin to imagine the anguish of the average 19th. Century working class person, child and pauper in regard to their teeth. We hear a lot about vice, destitution, disease, squalor and vermin, but what about personal oral hygiene and the agony of caries? That would be a unique insight into another forgotten aspect of Victorian and Edwardian living. The London Dental Hospital was founded in 1858. There must be some record.

  1609. Nice work. I'm guessing the next Evil Roman Emperor will be Maximinus Thrax.

  1613. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel it’s there are miserable poor people lived at slums in USA not only in England as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for meaning of word tenement it’s type of building shared by multiple dwellings typically with flats or apartments on each floor with shared entrance stairway access they are common on British isles particularly in Scotland. In 19 th century five points where current day lower East’s side china town civil center district converyre and newyork slums was known as one of world most notorious slums lower Manhattan built upon drained pond there are was crime ridden filled with gang violence rundown tenements

  1617. Good, good, good, I really enjoy these Victorian historic stories. Excellent. Keep up the good work!!
    9
  1618. How fascinating! Thank you. The height of the women caught my attention. I have a Victorian woman's corset and some dress bodices, having long had an interest in vintage clothing as social history, and they're very small. As many women were 4-foot something, to just over 5-foot, my clothing items could have fit many in the population of Newcastle. I'm reflecting on the fact that forty years prior to these perpetrators being incarcerated, many of these petty theft crimes would have meant transportation here to Australia.

  1619. Ahhhh. Thank you again.

  1634. This is one the best YouTube video I have came across, I hope more people find you, I feel like I listen to a Charles Dickens story… I can almost view the streets of old England… I listen to this and peace comes over me … that I known hunger as a child…even in American children have starved and in these times it still happens..

  1635. Watching this makes you feel lucky to be alive now and not back then, these poor people endured such hardship the likes of which we would never know. Thank you for your great story telling, love your history videos.

  1637. Many many third world countries are living like this today.... Not much different then hos life was in White Chapel for 200-250 y ago, let us not forget that😢, thanks for the Upload-I enjoy your vidoes with your out of this world like voice who makes me feel like I am there🤪thank you 👌watching from Norway 💫
    9
  1638. Thank you for this. You have surpassed yourself with this astonishing narration, too much, perhaps, for many people unwilling to integrate historical reality into their conception of modernity. I recall the final words of Conrad's anti-hero, Kurtz, in 'The Heat of Darkness' (1899)... "The Horror. The Horror." Forgive my asking but what is the source?
    9
  1639. Thank you for another great vid.

  1640. Actually the loop is rarther quiet and the atmosphere is electric.

  1642. I really enjoyed this video. You always have interesting stories to tell and I love your narration. ✌️
    9
  1643. Another fantastic history video,A great achievement of the women of ww1 and ww2. With those horrific sacrifices those women helping to create votes for all ie male female and class didn't matter of the right to vote. Welfare state NHS social housing. women dying in factories men dying on the front those sacrifices should not be forgotten and we the people of today should not allow New government's to rip up those foundation's of worker's rights NHS welfare ect. Don't let our ancestors die in such horrific conditions for Nothing!!
    9
  1644. All those faces. Those times being poor was really being poor. Lots of people were born on the street and lived and died on the same streets. These were the outcasts of the progress that was made in the Industrial Revolution. Because of the new machines there were less labourers needed. Lots were laid off. The families were big and soon they would end up on the streets because they couldn't even pay their small accommodations . Disease went around and tuberculosis was the disease that sadly inflected many. I like your voice. you speak as if you are a gentleman from the Victorian century. Every video is a delight listening to.
    9
  1645. It is so true what you said, that the poor are the only ones who will help the poor.

  1646. There is sooo much inspiration for my DND campaign here! I like to teach history in my game in a playful manner. I thank you for some of those wonderfully articulate ways to describe things

  1647. Thank you
    9
  1648. And there you go , the birth of Commission only sales reps 👍 When I was a very young lad, my father said to my cousin who signed up for the regulars, ‘You’ve taken the Queen’s shilling’ - thinking he got 5 pence for joining the army and that was it 😂 The saying has been used for a few centuries now and still used today. Brilliant bit of history, I never knew this at all. I knew about press gangs of old and thought that’s how they got about topping up the numbers.
    9
  1649. Thank you..Always interesting although very sad.😢

  1650. Very interesting as always. I enjoyed your use of the silent version of 'Oliver Twist' to illustrate the piece!

  1654. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always said with every new video I learn new information and vocabularies too . I gathered main points about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s floating hell by late 1700s these ships commonly known as ( hulks ) are heavily relied up on to ease overcrowding in land based facilities. They are referred to as ( floating ships ) or ( he’ll hold ) . Since conditions are just horrible as in traditional prisons . Convict ship was any ship engaged on voyage to carry convicted felons under sentence of penal transportation from their place of conviction to their place of exile called hulks . Hulks are houses prisoners in 18 and 19 th centuries and last convict ship in 1868 . There are so many convicts in England because life was Very hard and as new machines were invented people were no longer needed to do farming jobs so they moved to cities and cities became overcrowded. Prison ships over time is practice was most widespread in 18 and 19 th centuries in England as government sought to address issues of overcrowded civil jails on land and influx of enemy detainees from war of Jenkins and seven years war . Ship jail called brig and military prison USA called usdb. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English as well.good luck to you your dearest ones.

  1655. I started out sewing on an old treadle (great fun!) and could do straight seams really fast but can't imagine doing this by hand like these poor ladies. Wonder how many owned their own machines at home? 🌿
    9
  1656. The Sacred Fire sounds like an easy grift. Only for one day a year? 🤔 Can we setup a Sowen Day for the last day of Every month? 😉 Fact Feast is my favorite ASMR. Your voice takes me back in time and the videos are a feast for my eyes. Thank you.

  1657. My grandmother used to say when my room was untidy she would say, it’s like Christmas day at the workhouse! I never realised it was a poem 🥰🥰🥰
    9
  1658. If ofren wondered the story behind the photo of the old lady holding the baby in the doorway. Its one of those pictures often used on the Internet and in history books with no explanation. What a very sad situation to be forced to enjore. I can only hope that her situation got better at some point along with the Scotch woman mentioned in this?

  1665. How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English as well. I looked up for meaning of slum is British slang from east end of London means “ room “ which involved to back slum around 1845 means black alley , street of poor people. Synonyms of slum ( low income neighborhood ) barrio , favela , public squalor , shanty town , tenement. Slum in dictionary means squalid overcrowded house . Squalid section of city , characterized by inferior living conditions and usually by overcrowding. There are still slums in Europe even in France rich European country, slum area emerged with Paris . In USA too in mid western cities such as Chicago, Detroit are infamous for their slums but this areas tend to have high crime , poor public schools and they tend to lack grocery stories . In Los Angeles thousand of families and children live in slum conditions. Manhattan slums in 19 th century, five points where current day lower east side , China town , civic center , districts converge was known as one of world most notorious slums . Corner of lower of Manhattan, built upon drained and was crime hidden filled with gang violence rundown tenement. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  1668. Great video, shows how much softer we have become. I have visited a house of this kind in dublin, number 14 henrietta street, a old georgian townhouse turned into tenements, it was absolutely fascinating, seeing how a large dining room was divided by low walls into 4 rooms and sold as a apartment. Just incredible
    9
  1669. The narration, the images and the relentless truth makes this one of my favourite watches. I grew up in Bow, East London in the early 1970’s; cobblestone streets were still around, nestling uncomfortably with our pristine block of flats. Even then, you could feel the suffering.
    9
  1670. A nice change of pace from the other Victorian era entries. It seems like this one gentleman was treated really well, all things considered.

  1674. A living hell on earth & every day all day they lived this way. Now days people are suffering in the towns they grew up in due to rising home prices, property taxes if they do own a home, even an old one, stagnated wages & no health care

  1675. Would love to hear if you have any accounts from my hometown of Leeds.

  1679. Being the child of agricultural harvesters, we followed the crop seasons, living in tents and provided share cropper shanties. When my family saved enough to rent a permanent tiny one bedroom house, we settled down and Father landed a manual labor job that paid little but was permanent. In time I was the first boy to graduate from high school. Returning from Vietnam as a newly released Marine I worked as a janitor and block wall construction worker while using the G.I. Bill to secure my B.A. in Economics with Bus. Admin. Minor. Only had one child and no pets. Both cost big money and wife & I needed money for rent, gasoline, food and clothing. No TV, only a radio for awhile. My neighbor had same size house and 5 kids and two big dogs. He told me they'd come from big families and would make room. Unbelievable. Still there as far as I know. Where are poor folks priorities? No more kids, pets or things that take from possible savings. Patching up clothes, darning socks and putting off hobbies and expensive pastimes is no stranger to my family. Don't confuse sacrifice for investment. Now retired and comfortably so. As my Father said, "Work the young man (me in my youth) like a mule, so the old man (me as a Senior citizen) won't have to. Good advice. Oh My one son and first grandson are university graduates and the second is wrapping up his M.A. like his Grandpa. Poverty will always be about. The question is what we individually will do about it. Nuff said.

  1680. A great way to learn more about tenements is the tenement museum in New York's lower east side. I just learned of this wonderful channel - with delightful Irish accented narration.

  1681. do you have other videos on old-time emperors besides the romans? Like Alexander The Great or the monarchs of Persia. You can find pretty cool stuff as well over there

  1682.  @FactFeast  you are one of the few, if not only, channels that focuses solely on first hand accounts from the time period. It is often more interesting than the broader history you usually see discussed. Getting an insight into the gritty details of the peroid discussed.

  1684. When I was a kid I use to think leaches were in all water so whenever I would get out of the bathtub I would check for leaches. Cartoon logic.

  1694. Never mind London, what about the rest of the country that was in disarray ?

  1695. Fantastic! While the topic is chilling and sad, it's also fascinating, thank you!

  1696. Excellent research! Any idea why they'd steal iron? Could it be sold as a scrap metal or something?

  1709. Last part of my research in east London there were many pocket of slums were people tried to survive and feed their family. Honest people there managed to make living . In 1900s east London where poverty, slums . Many having relatively well to do housing only street away . There crowded and competitive environment and beginning of racism and immigrants were perceived to be taking housing and jobs . Immigrants of Jews were main target . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information, improve our English language as well we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students. Best wishes for you your family friends.

  1710. The poorest people and the worst housing was probably Glasgow, which was 3 times the population density than most English cities. In England the majority of the working class lived in small 2 up 2 down terraced houses, which sometimes had cellars and attics but were usually 2-3 stories tall, obviously there were other types of houses but in England the population density was limited to the number of rooms and storeys. In Glasgow, the majority of the population lived in tenement buildings of 4-6+ storeys, each with several families crammed into tiny flat's, that were so crowded that even until the 1980's, in many of the flats the kitchens contained a bed behind a curtain just a few feet away from the cooker, which probably made the pillows, sheets, blankets duvet etc smell of fried food lard and beef dripping etc which can't have been nice. So obviously an acre of 2 floor houses would contain a lot less people than a 6 floor tenement building with 4+ flat's on each floor. All British cities and the larger towns had slum area's but I have always thought that Glasgow had the worst housing in the UK.

  1711. Such a powerful ending. The last sentence along with the modern clip of the poor soul scavenging was very poignant. Great vid as ever!

  1716. I’m researching logging camps in WV at the turn of the last century. Knife fights, gun fights, gambling. They were lawless.

  1722. Irish old woman accent 👍😂🤣🤣🤣

  1723. Excellent video. Horrific conditions. History has a sad tendency to overlook the less fortunate, wealthy and powerful, yet it’s barbaric economic circumstances like this that fuelled popular support for trade unions, revolutions and social justice.

  1724. Thanks ff

  1728. My guess was wrong. I thought the boys dug up the cow to take its parts to be sold for use in gelatin or its hide for tanning.

  1729. I cited Booth in a few Papers on Victorian society. It would have been brilliant to have had videos such as this back then!

  1731. Really enjoyed this, thank you.

  1732. Thanks!
    9
  1733. Thank you so much for this video (as always). In my genealogy research I came across a relative who died in a workhouse and his occupation was recorded as "stone breaker". I wondered at the time how they could state this as his occupation if he was only temporarily in a workhouse, but after watching this, I am now wondering if he was a 'spike ranger'. I am now going to revisit his story and see what else I can unearth. Again, many thanks x

  1734. Curling up with a cup of tea on a rainy day watching this. Wonderful as always. I hope those power hunger 'soul snatchers' met with karma :_VictoriansGreetings:

  1735. Great video as always! Keep up the good work!

  1736. Such a sad life, the poor never can get out of the misery they are living. You really had to be wealthy to have a decent life it seems. Wonderful narration as always.
    9
  1737. Many of the sweeps were their own fathers. They didn't send them all down the chimneys as they began to grow to the size they might become stuck. The fathers had likely been child sweeps themselves, working for their fathers and so on. However, there were fathers cruel enough to, knowing they could easily find another if not a younger one of their own. I have never read it but I bet some of those boys were actually girls.

  1744. I think there are even more haunted tube stations in London.

  1745. This is one of the best channels. Very well done story telling and visuals. This channel deserves far more attention.

  1755. With the paranormal being so popular now, a hotel would probably be a great idea. One problem is the state of decay of the buildings. If they consider refurbishing them to keep the atmosphere in tact, it would probably cost more than tearing the buildings down and starting over. I think someone was looking into turning it into a resort and adding a huge conference building. The family of the primary investor and planner spent the night on the island. They left the next day and never returned. I don't think I would be brave enough to stay there and Italy is a long way from the US.

  1756. lmao ive been to all these stations

  1757. At least Sunday ends with story time, 10/10 consistency fact fest that I appreciate as well as the story, because I look forward to it. 🤠👌

  1758. I love your voice in the docs. Not shrill or annoying at all. We’ll done.
    8
  1759. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s victorian era life of children at slums due to poor living conditions infants morality was very high in slums about 1 in 4 children died before they became one year old . Diss houses , poverty tourism ( slumming ) . Victorian children at slums would be to made to go to work at very young age as unbelievable sometimes even aged 4 or 5 years old they worked very hard for long hours every day.in 1800s many people lived in slums housing were often old run down buildings were in bad conditions rooms were small and was no insulation often cold in winter and hot in summer. Often whole family live in one room or two rooms, of these houses also no indoor pluming had to use outdoor toilet bathes many people would kind wash with water from dirty sewage rats rubbish slums housing was dangerous unhealthy many people died from diseases like tuberculosis and cholera . Young boys work as chimney sweeps or clean streets of horse manure girls turn to prostitution as young age at 12 . Rate of crimes, violence were very high in slums. Many young people turned to crime to avoid workhouses . Between 1830 and 1860 half of defendants tried at famous old Bailey were aged 20 or under .

  1760. Always the best history facts,appreciate ur awsome work. thx
    8
  1761. Dear Sir, how could people live like this? a little wonder people used to revert to prostitution as a way of living, I'm glad they pulled down these slum areas, crime must of been rife, I think even the Police were scared to go in, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

  1762. Do you have any ghost stories from Victorian London?..maybe for Halloween?

  1766. Wonderful video, thanks a lot! Felt like I was in a different world..
    8
  1767. I was born in North Shields and grew up in Howdon. My grandparents lived in Wallsend. As I was growing up I regularly went to North Shields, Tynemouth and other areas mentioned here. It's fascinating to hear about these crimes from the place of my birth and where I grew up as a child.
    8
  1768. Yes, I spent the night! Slept peacefully and experienced nothing personally. My two friends both said Chloe came and bent over them in bed and they were terrified.
    8
  1769. After graduating from university I was a sandwich board man in Manchester (England) in the 1990's for an amusements arcade. The sign declared "Cheapest Fags in town ➡" - I got a lot of abuse for that slogan. It was better paid then my chosen profession after three years of study (Archaeologist)! Passers by were always shocked when they saw I was spending my time reading the Greek plays of Euripides. I've got to say it was one of my favorite work experiences. 🪧Sunny, outside, people to chat to, could read what you wanted, could listen to the radio, start at 10am - better then being a chimney sweep... or office drone.... or archaeologist as it turns out.
    8
  1770. I got a bit of a surprise when the RRS Discovery was mentioned! I'm from Dundee, the new home of this ship which was built here when our docks had shipbuilding facilities. It was interesting to hear about "Arctic Jack" being in the force and how the ship was used after its sojourn to colder climes! ❤
    8
  1771. The best content ever 😍 I can’t wait for the next one

  1772. Really love your channel. Your voice skills also help to bring it to life. Great work
    8
  1773. One thing that we are not used to in the United States is the smaller flats or apartments that we see in Europe. Not to mention your extremely small kitchen and dining areas with what we consider a hotel-size refrigerator. It is entirely a different way of life in Americans have to adjust to if visiting Europe. We had foreign exchange students from Germany and Japan and they all were amazed at the size of our houses and our refrigerators and everything else which was extra large in comparison.

  1774. Love this channel Interesting and informative

  1776. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly with every new video I learn new information and new vocabularies. Squalor means being extremely dirty and unpleasant , filth . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s Italian immigrants came to America in search for work and money . Italian Americans usually settled where jobs were easily find . One of oldest neighborhood in newyork city where immigrants settled there . When Italians arrived in America 1840s , five points was populated and diseases and crimes , area notorious for tenement buildings and lawlessness. Newyork has been called Italian America Capital because of largest Italian immigrants.italian immigrants had worked as farmers , where thus qualified only for unskilled and more dangerous urban labor .

  1780. Thanks FF
    8
  1781. This is where i was born and went to school my ancestors where from there. Growing up in this place even in 1990 was rough lots of violence and poverty. Amazing that it was this way in the past as well, sad that the industrial revolution impoverished so many and enriched so few. Better now I hope I have not been back there for 20 years.

  1788. What if he had several places with treasures and what if the treasure was already found but whoever's found it never said anything, would that be possible?
    8
  1789. Ya maybe I know that when me and my brother were young we found lots of Roman artifacts that we Did not even no were Roman we just thought we found a cool metal shield lol
    8
  1790. Very interesting video. I must say, though, that the reporter is as judgemental of the working class as were the upper class.
    8
  1791. I think you do great videos. Your way of telling the story, is great!
    8
  1792. Thanks again to Fact Feast I wasn’t around last week & missed your broadcast but here I am once again tuned in and riveted to the show. I think we should all consider ourselves extremely lucky to be living in this time because i honestly don’t know if I would’ve survived in those days gone by.
    8
  1793. New here. Good video. I have recently moved unto a home that is in an area surrounded by blocks of old cemetarirs. I was amazed at the numbers of tiny little gravestones and markers for infants and the very young, many in the same family with multiple deaths within a year or so of each babe. 3 in 3 years all named after the mother. Hundreds upon hundreds of graves for wee ones ( possinly thousands). The ones directly across the street are dated early 1900's ( like 1910 etc) but I think these cemeteries date back to the 1800' s. P s. Nothing is new under the sun.. I am thinking of poor little Fantine and her mother in Les Miserables. ( Rather Fantin and daughter Cosette)

  1794. ❤

  1795. Next time im having a few at my local stop i shant comment on the semi clean glass im about to drink from. Thouroghly enjoy all episodes. Thanks for such civilized entertainment.

  1796. I think they had so many kids in those days in the hope that some might survive the poverty and disease. Also contraception may have been a problem?
    8
  1797. hi from Dunedin, New Zealand. What a wonderful channel. I totally enjoy the Victorian era

  1798. I know the subject matter can be dark, but sometimes I delight in the accents and characters, thanks for another fantastic video, I hope you and your are doing very well 👍

  1799. Your narration makes it feel like I was there. This was heartbreaking. 😔😪

  1800. Great video and I love the pictures you found.

  1801. Compelling video with great narration and photos, it almost felt like being there! Thanks!
    8
  1802. Good stuff. When we think that things are terrible, consider what happened the past.
    8
  1803. Happy New Year to a fab channel 👍 It’s amazing that these poor folk back then literally owned what they wore and had absolutely nothing else. The winters must have taken a good few poor souls but the warmer weather must have been welcomed. Strange to think this is happening in the modern world in the USA now.

  1804. Great video, thank you for making this content. Can you do some on Australian convicts one day?

  1805. I appreciate you and all the hard work you put into your research
    8
  1806. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Really with every new video you are posting I learn new information and new vocabularies. As always I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s Glasgow slums called gorbals . Nearly 40 , 000 people live in gorbals . They live for six eight to room . Often to lavatory, forty to top . They live in Britain most abandoned slums . Of early morning gorbals looks like any other poor area . Gorbals is area in city of Glasgow Scotland on south bank of river Clyde. Poorest area of Glasgow carmunock , kelvinindale , kelvin inside , Cathcart , sims hill, anniesland, Jordan hill , whiteonch , hyndiand , downhill , Patrick East . Most British slums called rookery . Poor house in Glasgow founded in 1731 located at old green on great Clyde street, at junction with what is now rope work lane . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well . Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  1811. Yeah! I was waiting for you ☺️. I stopped everything I was doing immediately to watch.☺️
    8
  1812. thank you so much, one tends to see the Victorian and Edwardian ages through rose tinted glasses, I know I do, but this is a sure wake up call and also they way you tell the history bring it to life
    8
  1813. The narration is absolute poetic artwork. Well done sir.

  1817. What an interesting and colorful fella! 😊
    8
  1818. I always find these documentaries fascinating. Nothing is hidden, unflinching and horrid by degrees, you are drawn into horror of early Capitalism. Please keep this vital channel. I am happy to contribute towards. Should be required watching for East London children. I would have benefited from it in the early 1970’s, in dodgy Bow.
    8
  1819. I've subbed as your channel is addictive ,I especially love these mug shot ones ,as my grandad was a bookies runner Fulham born 1910 I was around all the old slang ,he was a spiv in the war proper smart tall well connected , couldn't walk down a street without somebody calling after him 🇬🇧🍀👍🏼

  1820. Last and most important part of my research in years 1780 and 1840s child pockets flourished in London skilled pickpockets England had no professional police force till 1829 famous London pickpocket during Georgian and regency eras was George Waldron . You mentioned now artful digger is character in Charles dickens 1838 novel Oliver Twist Dodger is pickpocket he called for his cunning in occupation leader of gang of child criminals on street of London stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  1821. You really bring your story's to life, you paint such a clear yet dark and hopeless time and space.

  1822. Awesome narrative

  1823. Wish this series got more attention. Keep up the good work!! I will be waiting for the rest!
    8
  1824. I always look forward to these videos! I really hope that you can do this full-time at some point so that we can get more content and you can make a living from this... NOBODY on YouTube does this as good as you!... it is brilliant!

  1836. I have lived in a victorian terraced house, and most all of them once updated with inside toilets and central heating. They are far better than many new build first time buyer homes.back then and still a few families now a small house that is likely to lead insanitary and slum like conditions I read when over crowded, in uk victorians had larger families,nowdays we have contraception, shame we are losing the knowledge that it was not all the buildings fault but the amount of ocupants and the lack of facilities plumbing and heating in the building, the victorian terraces i know do have many windows i read ot so i usa tennaments etc..

  1837. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . I honestly I love the content of your channel it’s very informative. I learned from last videos about Elizabeth fry is British Quaker , philanthropist. She was one of chief promoters of prison reform in Europe. She also helped to improve British hospital system and treatment of insane people. Her notable works as she believed prisoners must be treated with kindness, taught female prisoners skills ad reading and sewing so they , could earn money to buy food . She gave babies in prison warm clothes, brought clean bedding for sick people. She also set up places for homeless people. The facts about victorian prisons in general they tended to be damp , unhealthy, insanity, overcrowded. All kinds of prisoners were mixed together ad at cold bath fields , men , women , kids , insane , serious criminals, petty criminals awaiting for trial , debtors . Each prison run by gaoler in his own way , he made up rules . There are slient prisons system intimate we’re forced to do boring repetitive tasks such as passing heavy cannon ball in complete silence. They were slept on hard beds , ate basic food like bread and water. By the end of 19 th century, neither separate or silent system were working.
    8
  1838. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly we have in Arabic region and definitely in all countries of the world street children who are homeless or poor children, known as thrown away children from single parents or divorced couples. They are subject to abuse , neglect. I thought it’s same meaning to wild boys . Wild boys means troublemakers or rebellious. Yes we have juvenile care homes for kids under 18 years old and everywhere. I read article dated 2017 , Tited ( fighting gangs of London . He mentioned wild boys of London . This article published on Tuesday March 14 th 1882 the pall mall gazette published following article . He mentioned wild boys were precociously clever criminals. They picked pockets, they robbed shopkeepers tills , they were expert in all those means and methods of crime which ingenuity of London thief has yet invented. Their lives was wild revel diversified by imprisonment. They were at one luxury, at another hiding in sewers and over their characters and achievements some human creatures, spurred by intelligible feeling of hunger , had in all apperant seriousness thrown thrown glamour of heroism and romance . I am sure wild boys need disciplined parents who treat them wisely. Thank you for giving us to read new information and improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  1839. As always a superb channel.. history there in the making, subject matter Orwell would have understood.Injustice in society was as some people think,was Victorian, happening in just the East of London; however it was right across the pond.. Hollywood show's you a different vision.

    8
  1851. What a good vlog, sir, I can remember this feller he would walk around Whitehaven dressed like a tramp, holes in his trousers and Jumpers, people used to feel sorry for him, when he died he left £158,500 to St Mary's church Whitehaven, appearances can be deceptive, people were in shock just how much money he had, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

  1858. Amazing as usual. Was wondering if you have read Angela's Ashes, Fact Feast because I would love to see a video of slum life in Ireland. Also I love the new emoji in the channel member perks. :_VictoriansGreetings::_VictoriansDownAndOut:

  1859. I adore this channel! I adore your narration voice. I adore the subjects you talk about, I adore it through and through!

  1860. One of my ancestors was a 'scavenger',according to his death cert.I believe he had to wander the banks of the Thames at low tide,picking up bits of metal, jewellery,lead,etc.His 'equipment 'was a bag(to put things in) and a stick(to whack any errant rats!).I think he was employed by the council.
    8
  1861. @FactFeast On Nicola Whites Mud larking Channel,they wen o an island in the Thames which was burial ground for dead convicts. The number buried was never kept as records so the numbers of dead will never be known. Lots of bones lay about on the ground.
    8
  1862. Excellent work! Have a wonderful night.
    8
  1863. My family mostly lived in Perth, Aberdeen and Glasgow, so I've always been fascinated with Edinburgh. I plan to visit in October. I can't wait to see the city.
    8
  1864. Fascinating! 👍👍
    8
  1865. I'm surprised people can live there without getting sick of the cold and snow
    8
  1866. Thank you, wonderful, as always!
    8
  1867. Love the stories and the way they're presented!
    8
  1868. I love this channel. The way it's narrated and the pictures makes me transport back in time and feel like I'm actually seeing this in person.
    8
  1869. Wow! What a difference in the photos between the past and the present! ❤
    8
  1870. Interesting ☘️💚
    8
  1871. You used the wrong pic from the film Gladiator at 1:27, that’s Quintas, leader of the Roman army. Commodus was played by Joaquin Phoenix in the film
    8
  1872. ❤❤❤❤👏❤️👏👏👏thank u! I love these very informative history vids!
    8
  1873. i think it makes a lot of sense that a pirate would have at least a small treasure stash somewhere, for emergencies, or retirement. likely buried not very far from their current base of operations so they could keep an eye on it and reach it quickly if need be and perhaps most importantly, have it close enough and be light enough to be able to hide it on your own. the problem with a massive treasure operation is a lot of people would have to get involved. most pirates wouldnt be able to keep such a secret for more than a few days and would also try to sneak back to the treasure location and dig it up for themselves before anyone else did. i think it also makes sense if they spread it out into several different locations. instead of one big treasure it would make more sense to have lets say eight smaller stashes. so if you lose one of them, you have seven left.
    8
  1874. This week's video is even better than last week's!😊
    8
  1875. So sorry that I commented twice! The first time I attempted to post a comment, it didn’t show up, so I posted again. Lol 😆 🤦‍♀️
    8
  1876. YAY I love me some FACT FEAST!, Thanks for another awesome video. My friend x.. one of the best YouTube narrators
    8
  1877. One thing to note is that Octavia Hill was only able to do what she did because she had two wealthy men supporting her cause. Without them, she wouldn't've been able to start her business in the first place. She used the chance well.

  1878. I love your content. Keep up the great work.

  1888. This straight away reminded me of the Conan Doyle tale The Man w/ the Twisted Lip whose wife had no idea either, after she saw him where he should not be & she still had no idea & that is why she sought out Sherlock Holmes . I just love those Doyle stories they have survived the test of time being so well written & interesting

  1891. How are you doing sir thank for your wonderful historical documentary channel we appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s the definition of gin palace is English name originally for lavish bar selling later transferred by association to late victorian pubs designed in similar style in 18 th century the gin was popular arriving of gin palace in 1830s the motivation for their introduction was 1830 beer act who had purchased cheap license to sell beer over eight years its means too gin palace gaudy drinking house

  1896. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s New York tombs prison was built as replacement for colonial era bridewell prison located in city hall park built in 1735 . Prison known as tomb because of Egyptian revival style architecture, but third building referred to as tombs ( Manhattan house of detention. Largest prison in New York is rikers island jail it’s one of largest lockups in USA and , of city most daming problems. Rikers island consisted of ten jails . It’s built on landfall decomposing garbage emits methane gas . Rikers island prison closed in year 2019 replaced four smaller jails more human in design .

  1899. TYVM fo another 'intereting' upload😵‍💫 🍻🇨🇦🥶😁
    8
  1900. I was already aware of the Home Children sent to Canada, but I appreciate this video explaining that entire families were strongly encouraged to go by an adjacent philanthropic scheme. This sheds a whole new consideration on how my great great grandfather along with his family ended up here. He could very well have attended one of these union gatherings. Thanks!
    8
  1901. The juxtaposition of this video and the advert I was served...
    8
  1902. Thanks for so many interesting stories! Such sorrowful times, indeed. I'm thankful for what I have, but these times are definitely worrisome.

    8
  1907. It's difficult whatever the era to find the right partner to share life with. A really interesting topic to get into, it's usually just the upper class courtships that people really hear about from those days, thank you for always bringing interesting content, and looking into topics that others might not cover. Great job as always.
    8
  1908. How are you doing sir happy new year thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel although it’s really painful memories especially for poor people at Victorian era but really deserves research as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of dos house American English flophouse British doshouse . It’s place that offers very low cost lodging space providing space to sleep and minimal amenities it’s costs to stay four pence which why believed prostitution of east end charged ad much of their services . In whitechapel at late 19 th century there were 233 lodging houses also known as doshouses as many as 800 poor people would pay for room lodging house either one or two nights. It’s cheap rooming hotel . Till nowadays dos house survives in London institution doshouse which is redolent of days of Charles dickens. Difference between doshouse and lodge house both they are same thing communal house for working members of society to live in they were also sometimes called single women houses , working men home , four penny hotel . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well best wishes for you your family friends.

  1909. Can you please make a video about child pickpockets in Victorian London?
    8
  1910. This is so good. Surely the narrator is an actor
    8
  1911. It's so important the English children and adults learn that the Victorian Age wasn't as glorious as they try to make us believe. Great channel for that purpose. All the best from Holland
    8
  1912. Another GREAT VID, you really make the characters come to life you have a wonderful talent my friend 🤪👍
    8
  1913. Thanks ff I love your videos
    8
  1914. WOW..everything my nana told me. I've got old photos of the streets in Scotswood and Newcastle. My great grandfather used to have a pub in Newcastle and it's still standing, my gran would have the back room in the pub, as the men drank separate from the ladies. The tails my nana would tell me your toes would curl. Thank you for the blast from the past.

  1919. Billy was smart & looks like these other workers knew to be in the right place, at the right time & maintain an upright character🤔 that tunnel work though would be awful :hand-orange-covering-eyes:
    8
  1920. When I was a little girl I lived in West hampstead , there as a rag and bone man. He had a horse and cart and would ride round the streets of North London ringing a bell. People sometimes bought up there old rags and scarp. Let me just say it was in the mid 60s not so long ago.
    8
  1921. Just discovered this channel. Fascinating.
    8
  1922. Really enjoyed this thank you 👍🇬🇧

  1923. I find the 1800s fascinating ,would like to see more videos .😊
    8
  1924. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😮‍💨
    8
  1925. You should do a video about tabaco as well. Specialy considering that many of the negative side effects of it weren't known at the time.
    8
  1926. As always, an excellent and informative video. I knew nothing of crossing sweepers. Toshers, mudlarks, pure finders, but not crossing sweepers. I always enjoy the experience of listening to your readings of the actual historical accounts. It brings Victorian London to life. It would also be good learn about the sources used for the illustrations and identify the locations at, for example, 3:00, 5:40 and 9:56. Where in London are theses places? I'd like to see how they look now.
    8
  1927. Thanks FF ❤😮😊

  1928. Shoe Clicker was the work noted on marriage certificate The marriage of Mothers ancesty Great great Grandfather. They lived in Breffnal Green in these brutal years

  1930. What a stressful job. Sheesh. I dont know how you find this info but it is so interesting. Ty
    8
  1931. We have an old workhouse that’s been converted into flats in my town. All the flats sell but no one has ever bought/rented the basement flats, turns out it was the morgue.
    8
  1932. Your channel is full of great stuff. Subscribed. Could I inquire about the nature of your accent though? I'd be real interested to know.
    8
  1933. How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary. It’s very important topic to discuss honestly. Child labor is often defined as work that deprives kids from their childhood, their potential and their dignity and that is harmful to their physical and mental development too till nowadays in USA as I read exceptions including work by child artists, family duties, supervised training and some forms of work undertaken by Amish children as well as by indigenous people.even us in Arabic countries from ancient time some parents made their kids to leave school to help them at work as farmers or fishermen, sellers at shops . Nowadays only on summer vacation boys can work as peddlers and sell goods and girls cook recipes and have simple profitable projects in their spare time only. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s child labor in America in 1880s was dangerous at glass factories. Therefore , children were not trained to wear glassblowing, but were instead hire as cheap sources of labor in bottle and tableware sectors as well as kids at England chimney sweepers . By mid 1800 s production teams in glasshouses were made up of two to three boys as young as 10 years old and older glass blower.
    8
  1934. Super underrated channel
    8
  1935. You should put your videos into chapters for a book with accompanied photos ,life in victorian times a fascinating insight into victorian working class life ,I would definitely buy it
    8
  1936. good
    8
  1937. Last part of my research model lodging house they crammed many individuals into very small rooms often sharing beds or sleeping upright on benches no one had any privacy many of lodging house were were 2or 3 houses joined together but with only one toilet and washroom or other facilities. At height of flapper scare in 1888 hernietta Barnett wife of barber st Jude church commercial street forwarded petition signed by four thousands women of whitechapel to queen victoria begging her to prevail upon your servants in authority to close down common. And common lodging houses for homeless , vargants tramps there are various workhouses casual wards charitable refugees operated in many towns cities. In 1839 London around 220 lodging houses . In 1851 lodging houses were notorious for their overcrowding and even journalist and social investigator Henry mayhew noted that while 3000 , 000 people of London live in one room tenements and 900, 000 are illegally viciously housed . Every lodging house keeper shall prevent coming up from sewer or cesspool shall keep yards areas of such lodging house properly paved and roofs tight with piper spouts . No lodging house keeper shall permit to kill or suffer any animal or birds to be kept in or about such lodging house . Happy fall in advance you in uk and USA have same date in fall season thank you for your giving chance to read learn new information we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  1938. I wouldn't call Vitellius evil. He was just an incompetent fatman.

  1939. Very interesting. Thank you

  1940. Yay❤

  1941. Your accents & narration is as always excellent...TY Fact Feast 👍👍👍👍👍
    8
  1942. Being 55 then as opposed to now seems vastly different. No surprise given the lack of help available for people at that time. With all of her health problems it sounds more like being 75. Thank you for another great insight from actual people from the time, very well narrated as always.
    8
  1943. Merry Christmas and thanks for the informative and fun history videos!!! 🎄❤️
    8
  1944. My cousin went out to LA at the tale end of the depression to seek her fortune as a actress and her and her parents stayed in a old slum house that was remodeled into a 25$ a month flop house..she eventually found work but if the walls of that place could talk
    8
  1945. Love your videos, they’re really interesting 😊
    8
  1946. I really appreciate these Victorian learning videos... It often wakes you up and makes you realise just how well to do and how truly lucky we are. Even the simple pleasure of a simple meal, hot shower, clean clothes and a warm bed to sleep... we are lucky indeed!
    8
  1947. My swedish ancestor was a spinnery master at Ahlafors spinneri (close to Gothenburg, Sweden) and he went to England at about in 1900-1920. He saw the laborers, the filth etc and told about this in his diary.
    8
  1948. Loved this video! It’s amazing any of us are here alive right now really. This video did make me hungry for some toast. 🤣🍞
    8
  1949. I enjoy your narrating very much!
    8
  1950. As always thanks for the vid!
    8
  1951. Such a shame this isn't a thing anymore. I could retire off of the "pure goldmine" that is my back garden! Obviously good that people no longer need to resort to this type of work to get by though! Great content, please keep up the high standard.
    8
  1952. As a bit of an aside the painting you show at 2:00 is actually called the Amateur Circus - which was a real-life circus in Paris featuring performers who claimed to be French nobility. The artist, Tissot, returned to France after the death of his lover in London. It was a turbulent period following France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian war and there was even talk of the French monarchy being reinstated. Tissot trod a bit of a tightrope as this painting shows the “nobility” riding high on their trapezes while the poor, broken down British clown is mocked and ridiculed. There’s no better way of getting onside with the French than by denigrating their rivals allies across La Manche.

  1953. Thanks F.F.❤

  1954. Thanks FF! You always deliver the best. I love it!

  1959. This one is pleasant to listen to. Thank you
    8
  1960. I'm guessing the next evil emperor will be Commodus.
    8
  1961. Another great presentation with almost Shakespearian vocal tones, seems like for the masses in one way or another suffered harrowing lives, there for the grace Go we. Thank you sir.
    8
  1962. Mr. Banks: Well, really - yes, of course. And you brought your references, I presume; may I see them? Mary Poppins: Oh, I make it a point never to give references. a very old-fashioned idea, to my mind.
    8
  1963. Listen while doing the gardening make life easier.
    8
  1964. Your videos make my day. Thank you.
    8
  1965. Great video, very informative and so well presented.
    8
  1966. So sad, but wonderfully voice acted as always!
    8
  1967. The height of some of these guys really caught me off guard. I know people where shorter back then but some of these guys stand out even for those days as stunted. short -stature /stunted growth was sadly too common amongst the poor people at the bottom of society: malnutrition, deprivation and general starvation. Hunger is a powerful motivator - it’ll make you do things that you would normally never do. Very sad
    8
  1968. This time period of British history is so interesting to me. I guess that's why I love shows like Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, Call the Midwife and alike.
    8
  1969. The narrator sounds just like a Victorian Englishman would in my mind.
    8
  1970. How are you doing sir. Happy mother day to yours and ours and all mothers around world . We celebrate mother day in Arabic countries as well as you in England same date on March . As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s star street was little over half mile along commercial road and led south wards . It’s was originally designated dock street and than plant street, became star street in 1856 . In 1891 it’s reverted to begin plant street again. Finally disappeared in 1960s . Many people have of East London in Victorian time is one of being street after street of slum dwelling inhabited by jack ripper, prostitute, beggars and thieves , all in environment of filth, smoke , destitution.
    8
  1971. I've been enjoying watching these videos. When can we expect number 8? :D
    8
  1972. Jack Black is hilarious. What a character!
    8
  1973. What an excellent video! The visuals along with the narration. The way its described, I can see it perfectly in my head. In real life, when people are talking, they think that I am not listening because I am visualizing in my head the words that I am hearing....its hard to understand without using my "minds eye".....these videos are perfect for that. I can see still photos but the narration lets me shape what I am hearing to fit. Its excellent. Great work on this one!
    8
  1974. Greedy companies making money off of workers who can't even make ends meet with the wages they earn. Sounds familiar. Take pride in these people who worked themselves to death and the contributions they made to society. 😢
    8
  1975. Great as always, especially the voice over. Thanks!
    8
  1976. Thank you for this video
    8
  1977. Another fab video. Soho is very close to my heart as I grew up as a kid in the area 50 plus years ago. It was squalid in places, old stairways still with gas fittings, some of the run down blocks were rancid! I played with a kid who said they had rats running over them at night and were use to it! 😳 I never did venture into those rickety block just by Gerrard St, now gone, a fire station there now. Some of the lovelier places off Regent Street going towards Mayfair are nice but the cross over to Soho was totally f]different and seedy. All gone now, all cleaned up, modernised and off the scale in prices now ! It still has its fair share of cut purses, highwaymen and bandits now though!

  1979. Intrigued as to what a coiner was....love the old job descriptions.

  1981. Yeah!!!! I was waiting for you!

  1982. This is what happens when you have no laws. Thank you, enjoyed the show.

  1983. Wishing you a merry Christmas and happy New Year...or perhaps Happy Holidays...have a restful break. Thank you for the hard work you've put into your productions during the past year. I look forward to learning more from you next year.

  1984. Now I understand why there is an area called “The Court of Miracles” in “Assassin’s Creed: Unity”! (I love how much history they put in those games!)

  1987. I learn so much from your channel. Keep it up
    8
  1988. London's book you read from, The People Of The Abyss, is a fascinating read. Jack London set about to explore the conditions of the lives of those in the East End. He was a famous and best selling author, but like most other famous people of the pen, was not known by appearance, especially away from his home country. In order to fit in with the people whose lives he was examining, he outfitted himself with rough clothing from a second-hand store. He created the appearance of an American sailor down on his luck. The gold Sovereign mentioned had been sewn into the lining of his coat, to be used in emergency. His reporting had some effect on the sentiments of the socially liberal society, and moved some people to charity and lobbying for changes in laws. I read the book in the middle 1980s, and had an effect upon me that I remain grateful for. It reached me as an antidote to the writings of Ayn Rand, and began my turn into a decent human being that cares about the lives of others.

  1989. Thank you. To think this is what was going on when both sets of my grandparents were born.

  1991. Another great vid FF! I have a pen pal in a female prison and I will so be telling her about the 'great hair battle(s)'! Nowadays they are all getting into squabbles about makeup and such! Funny how things haven't really changed that much.

  1993. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually there are big differences between poor and rich people in Victorian times rich people could afford lot of treats like holidays fancy clothes even telephones when they were invented poor people even children had to work hard in factories mines or workhouses rich Victorians in their spare time playing games sports going on day trips and holidays . Upper class didn’t usually perform manual labor rich Victorians women clothes made of silk or satin . Rich Victorians live in large houses were well heated clean upper class Victorian era from royal family, lords ladies earls barones ducke duchesses other titles people inherited their titles their homes their money from members of their family . Rich families would be educated at homes by governesses female teacher until age of ten boys would go to boarding school while girl to be taught by governess . Rich Victorians men had jobs as doctors, lawyers , bankers , factory owners until end of Victorian era many poor children received no education such misery until nowadays there are differences between rich and poor best wishes for you your family friends

  2015. What a terrible life for so many people. We have come a far way knowing that nowadays there is far more help out there to support people. 😞 You have a brilliant voice, and the research was superb! Greetings from Berlin Germany 🤗

  2018. I've just discovered, and subsequently subscribed to, this channel 😁 You'd be an amazing audio books narrator!
    8
  2019. Once again a very interesting and informative insight on the inequality between classes during the 19th century. I’m always shocked and disappointed to find a low number of people hitting the like button. I can only attribute that to ignorance and nothing scares me more than Ignorance! When you combine poverty (want) with ignorance the result is always tragic. Even Charles Dickens quoted me about the perils of Want and Ignorance! Okay! I admit it, I’m quoting Dickens but that doesn’t make it any less true. Ref, A Christmas Carol.
    8
  2020. Taking a trip out west (U.S. wise). Nice! Splendid work and storytelling as always! Bravo!

  2030. Ah yes another FF program with the gent with the great Radio voice..this sounds like a old BBC radio program or in my case here in the states an old NBC/CBS or RKO program and wow the old women's penn..alot of these remind me of some of my kin..most of my kin would have been the sort that went in for stealing bread but never came back but it's crazy how some of the " crimes" are something as simple as stealing food or shawls and boots..crazy some of the stuff these gals could be incarcerated for

  2037. I have been watching your videos all day! Your voices are so great! I feel for all these poor dears from the past, I am not rich and am broke much of the time,😀but I have so much and I am quite spoiled. Especially compared to what the Victorian poor had. I'm feeling great empathy for them and am very thankful for my life.
    7
  2038. Outstanding!

  2043. Last and most important part of my research match girls strike was industrial action taken up by workers of Bryant and may factory against dangerous and unrelenting demands which endangered their health with very little remuneration match girls worked in match factories their job is to dip tips of wooden matches into chemical called phosphorus most of workers in match factories were women many of them were young girls between age 13and16 in year 1888 there were match girls strike organized by William booth he took them to homes of those “ sweated workers “ who were working 11 or12 hours a day producing match companies like Bryant and may honestly the reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English language as none native speakers thank you for cultural documentary channel stay safe blessed good luck to you your family friends

  2047. Loving your channel as always 😊
    7
  2048. I’ve just realised I’d listen to you reading *anything*. Narrators like you make robo-reads sound even more unbearable the next time I hear them! Edit…that’s in no way meant to slight your research and writing, which as always is superb. I particularly liked this mini-drama, it was very evocative. Poor Jack! But how did he ever get a sovereign, anyway? PS, I’m actually considering reactivating FB, just to share your vids as requested! However, please consider a “buy you a beer” account?
    7

  2056. When I was a child in Manchester old ladies who had worked in cotton mills as girls could still lip read. They learned it to talk to their friends while working in this horrendous noise. The Manchester comedian Les Dawson used to impersonate the way they would use" lip read talk" to refer to sex or grown up stuff in front of kids. As Homer Simpson would say "it was funny because it was true".
    7
  2057. I love watching your videos . Your channel is awesome

    7
  2067. Fascinating stuff, Merry Christmas and thank you for all of your hard work 🎅🎅
    7
  2068. Most of the money you earned went to rent, and most of the rental homes were squalid hellholes? Hmmm... 🤔 Sounds a bit like my apartment life here in Southern California. 2k a month for a one bedroom in which a pipe burst under the floor of my living room and basically flooded it, ruining a good portion of my furniture and giving off a most delightful rotting mold smell. But that's ok - My landlord got right on it and it only took... well... nearly 2 WEEKS to fix it. But it was a truly joyful 2 weeks, bumping into my TV stand in the kitchen (had to move everything out of the living room and attempt to shove it all somewhere into the already sardine packed bedroom or kitchen). But you know what? Watching this video really made me appreciate what I have! 😂😂😂 I'm serious!
    7
  2069. I really enjoyed this one. Love your channel Ty!
    7
  2070. I was just thinking "Hey, it's Sunday, I wonder if there is a new video from Fact Feast?" And there was! I really enjoyed it! 😊Indeed, there is something about gin... I have only over-indulged in it a couple of times, but both of those times, I started making up Limericks and Haikus of the naughtiest kind! 🤭😄 I most certainly was not behaving very ladylike. 😲😈
    7
  2071. He was a north African Berber
    7
  2072. How are you doing sir thank for your cultural documentary channel it’s really misery at that time victorian era especially for poor but it’s deserves research as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s poor victorian family would have lived in very small house with only couple of rooms on each floor . Very poorest families had to make even less some houses were home to two or three or even four families we too in Arabic countries from ancient times couples and kids and family in law in same house till nowadays they built apartment for their sons in their house when they decided to get married. Houses at that time victorian era would share toilets and water which they could get from pump or well . Their houses are crumpled unclean houses . 25 percent of britons suffered in Victorian times . Poverty in 1800s by many factors such as unemployment families had no means to support, large families many children had to be catered for death of main bread . There are poor law amendment act in 1834 known as new poor law its act of parliament of United Kingdom passed by government of earl grey. Stay safe blessed good luck to you your family friends.

  2086. Sir, I live in Halifax Nova Scotia which was founded in the early victorian Era. there are lot of parallels to Victorian London in Victorian Halifax, and in fact there is a book called "Life & tImes of Victorian Halifax." replete with these kinds of reports....Halifax is quite Notorious. if you ever find interest to look into Victorian Halifax NS I would be thrilled sir!

  2087. Only today I have passed upon this channel and how I am so hooked. Brilliant series.
    7
  2088. This channel is simply amazing
    7
  2089. These are so good I’m back for rewatching one month after my first viewing. So I read comments, and I found it really depressing that so many complained about pounds, shillings, and pence as opposed to dollars and cents. Maybe it’s because I’m Australian but this wasn’t an issue for me. I appreciated the fact that usually both currencies were used. I imagine it was done this way because, from the vids I’ve seen so far, there’s a lot of American content, but this one was British history. It was far better, I thought, than the usual, “in today’s money that’s xyz amount”. The accuracy can become tedious if ‘translation’ is used all the time. I hope people will start paying more attention to the historical content and stop nitpicking. For example, in one of the cases, the pride conveyed in the wife’s words of how when times are good, her husband can earn four dollars and some cents is far more evocative than saying what the equivalent currency would be. Thank you again for your work in producing and presenting these vids. Even though I’ve always had a deep interest and what I thought was a good general knowledge about the subject, I’ve learned a lot.
    7
  2090. Interesting video, some of the crimes they were going prison for is mind boggling

  2117. U do justice to these people and their life experiences 💞 We all learn especially from the past ✌
    7
  2118. How are you doing sir thank you for cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well although victorian age is very painful memories especially for poor people low class but deserves research so that as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s police men in Victorian era were poorly paid they would patrol certain area known as their beat carried truncheons rattle to raise alarm . Many people didn’t trust new police , police officers were soon known as ( bobbies) or ( peelers)they wore uniform included dark blue long coat and tall hat they were unarmed except for truncheons. Key facts summary of police in Victorian age was replaced by organized by individuals from same communities. Shire which is composed of hundred ten men led by shire reeve where word sheriff came from sir Robert peer through metropolitan act of 1827 . Concept of organized police department as father of modern policing. First official police is considered to London metropolitan police established in 1829 . London police were often referred to as bobbies or peelers as away to honor sir Robert peeler .

  2122. Last part of my research first sweatshops appeared in Great Britain in late 18 th century and persisted there until 20 th century. In USA , first textile sweatshops appeared in early 19 th century in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In worst forms of sweatshops people are forced to work up to 72 hours straight, without sleep . Those complaining are beaten and abused . There are cases of physical , sexual , verbal abuse are common and well documented. Sweatshop or sweat factory is crowded workplace with very poor socially unacceptable or illegal working conditions. There are still sweatshops exist in USA , in major metropolitan areas such as New York and Los Angeles. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information and improve our English as none native speakers. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

    7
  2124. Thank you again for another fascinating video of the plight of the poor and vulnerable during this dark part of our history. I often think back to my school days and how I wasted my time dreaming about after school activities such as playing football, conkering, and other small pleasures and not having any interest in the past...how I regret my choices...
    7
  2125. Stealing cloths shoes 🤔 wondering why maybe they had noñe
    7
  2126. My grandparents came over as Irish. Lived in one room in the East End. Many years later as a student I rented a room in Whitechapel in a house. 6 bedrooms, I paid 900 a month. The landlord was coining it in!
    7
  2127. To the narrator, why am I waiting for you to break and say your a mean one Mr. Grinch, or Luke I am your Father!😞🤔😳😂 Love the voice

Actually all of us know Los Angeles is city of Hollywood stars , tv , movies industries and largest gorgeous beaches , largest city in California state . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s homelessness crisis has affected Los Angeles’s particularly Southern California in general, in different way more than any parts of USA states . Significant percentage of homeless people came there from other states because weather is less dangerous than other locations. Beaches there attract lot of homeless because of shore breezes keep temperatures from hot or freezing cold . Los Angeles is city that encompasses large variety of neighborhoods, some are very poor or very wealthy. Skid row is neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles’s contains one of largest population of homeless people in USA , known as ( central city east ) which derives from logging term . By 1800 there were in Los Angeles’s 29 buildings that surround plaza flat with thatched roofs made of tules. By 1821 Los Angeles’s had grown in self sustaining farming country. Largest city in Southern California. I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  2164. Thank sir for wonderful cultural documentary channel. Although Victorian age is very painful memories for poor people. It’s gives us great lessons to take care of needy persons offering them help and support. Most of us know novels miserables by victor hugo French author about protagonist jean vailjean when he served 19 years sentenced for stealing loaf of bread to feed his sister starving children and escaped from prison . As always I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s kids in Victorian time suffered through violence at home and poverty meant that many of them never went to school and took to streets in gangs to engage in petty thievery and pickpocketing.

  2165.  @FactFeast  indeed, and when my great grandmother came over she lived in the same neighborhood, though no one spoke of the difficulties. The family persevered, bought a lot in another neighborhood and built a brick home for the family which stands today . Thank you for your videos

  2174. if we told any WW2 ghost that the war is over would they finally find peace and that the allies won?

  2175. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Actually we too in Arabic countries after dark very few people walk through especially women expect employers and stay at late time at night at weddings and back homes with groups not alone . With every new video you posting I learn new information and new vocabularies. Garrets is small , uncomfortable room at top of house . Cellar is room or set of rooms below surface of ground . As iread in 19 th century London was capital of largest world empire ever known and was infamously filthy, had choking sooty fog . There are over 60 , 000 streets or roads in London . Press coverage also criticised ineffective police force and called for drafting of sympathetic prison reform proposals . That campaign was so pronounced drew up and passed Garrett’s act in 1863 , which brought back flogging as punishment for violence robbery, although panic is short lived and change to prison reform . Times note is Londoners should be all hours of day or night to walk safely in streets of London . Merry Christmas happy new year. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  2190. When I heard Poplar, my mind went to "Call the Midwife". That's set in the same neighborhood, just in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
    7
  2191. Here to appreciate the top quality attention to the audio of your videos, it warms my soul. As well as the subject!

  2193. Such excellent content! Please keep these coming! I particularly enjoy the Orator’s articulate spoken word especially the attention to punctuation and nuances in tone which conveys the subject so well for the listener.
    7
  2194.  @FactFeast  My mum was born there in Preston Street, in 1930. Sadly, neither are no longer with us. All the best, keep up the good work!

  2195. My great grandparents left Ireland during the Famine. Despite trial and tribulations, it was a dreamscape to arrive, live and prosper in the lower east side. They lived there from 1856-1874, then retired in central Illinois with a then long established Donegal Irish community. You could always leave new York, as the newspapers advertised for help all over the country. Jobs abounded.

  2205. 18:15 Impossible for it to have been caused by people onboard the train. Both reported instances of what sounded like a person inside the train were 5 years apart and told by two men who have never met. (one a driver and the other a guard who were at opposite ends of their respective trains) They both claimed to have heard the sound of the interconnecting doors opening and closing slowly progressing up the train and stopping in their carriage. They both said they turned around, expecting to see their respective colleagues, but found nobody there. They then walked the entire length of the train down to their colleague and seen nobody onboard, only random interconnecting doors that had inexplicably been left open. An interesting one is the so called "phantom passenger" at Elephant & Castle. Both staff and passengers have claimed to have seen a young woman board the train, but then inexplicably disappear as the train pulls away. One sighting was a driver departing the train, who was polite enough to step aside and let her pass when she boarded. He thought nothing of her at first, only noting she was emotionlessly staring straight ahead and the severe chill he felt as she walked past, until he stepped off the train and looked back. That's when he was alarmed to see that she had vanished from the train entirely, despite it only being mere seconds. (Despite this, his only thought was that the apparent ghost was rude for not thanking him for his politeness!) Adding to the spooky factor is that there is no historical or scientific explanation for this particular haunting. Or how about spending the night at Farringdon station, where the ghost of Anne Nayor is said to terrify staff with her bone chilling screams that echo through the tunnels?

  2206. Your videos are brilliant. I was Born at Guys hospital and grew up in Jamaica Rd in Bermondsey. It always intrigued me what the capital was like back then. Now I know. Thanks again!

  2209. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s victorian slum house is British slums in 1800d , where group of modern day families, couples, individuals recreate life in East end London, they lived between 1860- 1900. 1860s tenement made up of spare rooms ( shared water pumps and outhouse) , they seek to make living by matchbox making , wood turning and rag trade. 1870s economic depression heightened by arrival of Irish migrants seeking work . Daily slum dwellers toil to fufill clothing artificial flowers for factories.some unable to settle their debts, 1880d despite high unemployment and intolerable conditions, people flock to London, desperate for work when curious upper class visitors are permitted to visit slums as tourists. 1890s mass manufacturing and social reform offer bit of hope for some of residents, while others plagued by water shortages that dashes hope for promising laundary business. 1900s social changes slum they moved to 20 th century few families prosper, but others continue to face poverty endemic in Britain. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir .

    7
  2227. Thank you for these films. They are so interesting and entertaining. I'm sure your style of narration greatly contributes to that. Couldn't help but look at those pictures and wonder whether all those people being made to sit in the same pose were sitting on the same chair and wondered how many years service the chair put in! Reminded me of when I joined the Royal Navy back in 1984 and as part of The New Entry fortnight before basic training began we were required to sit in a photo-me machine for two photographs both in the same pose. First one in working uniform holding a long chalkboard displaying our service number under our chins for our Royal Navy Identity cards and the second one for a passport which required us to be wearing civilian clothes but with no display of the chalkboard. To save time getting ready for the second photo, we simply put on the provided old, wooley jumper which just showed the collar of our uniform shirt over the jumper. I wondered how many thousands of young men all got to put on that same jumper before it gave up the ghost.

  2228. On the plus side I’m descended from people like this and I live very well. On the shoulders of giants…. my great grandparents fled the potato famine. I became a director of a bank. So there is mobility

    7
  2236. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel but it’s very sad to read about to cry out of painful memories since centuries ago as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually workhouses were harsh it’s considered shameful to live in workhouses that meant person could not look after his own family could not get job . There are old workhouses buildings still buildings stand all across country. There are 1245 000 people died at workhouses every year because at that time government ignoring medical statistical evidence. Origin of workhouses can be traced to state of Cambridge 1833 . Life in workhouses during Victorian Edwardian era popularly characterized as brutal existence

  2237. horrific and fascinating , but that plasterer was a bit of a mood shocker, lime wash was slopped on with a wide, short bristle brush, mostly to kill bugs,nothing like that ! Great vids though!

  2245. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly all of us know Big Ben , great clock world famous clock. Greenwhich time which is perfect time in any part in the world. I learned before two years ago about London eye which opened in 2000 , considered Europe tallest cantilevered observation wheel . I just read right now about London bridge refers to several historic crossing that have spanned river Thames between city of London and south wark in central London since Roman times . It’s opened to traffic in 1973 . There are fun facts about London bridge such as vintage lamps on bridge made from melted down of cannons of Nepoleon Bonaparte army . London bridge is rumored to be haunted. For years visitors have claim sightings of British police Bobby patrolling bridge and women in black roaming night . Inside bridge is hollow because it’s was rebuilt in order to accommodate auto traffic. London bridge is movie star . Real name of London bridge is ( tower bridge). London bridge is longest inhabited bridge in Europe. Nursery rhyme London. Bridge is falling down . That could sing in our sleep . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well . Best wishes for you your family friends.

  2251. Wonderful narration! Being from the US and having my Italian relatives settle near Triangle Shirt Factory, that terrible tragedy sticks in my mind. My family did not know anyone in the fire, nor did any of them work there, but it stuck with my greatgrandmother, and she told my grandmother the grim details. 💀

  2255.  @FactFeast  First a small correction, it was Emma Cons that signed the marriage certificate, but she was a close associate of Octavia Hill. Both my gt. gt grandparents were living at 18, Walmer Place, St Marylebone according to the marriage certificate.17th November 1873.

  2264. It is so damn good for people to hear the other side of the medal. We hear about the Industrial Revolution but not the millions who became jobless and how they were exploited....!
    7
  2265. Nothing to do with this vid, which as usual was wonderful but... I was browsing on line, in the many assorted mysteries of clearance items when I saw a book, costing $93. It was a text book titled "Slums and Slum Clearances in Victorian London" And I found myself gloating "I can get better info, better explained, from Fact Feast" So I had to tell you straight away! (Full disclosure, there was another listing for the same book at over $900 but that's just silly. Unless one was in print n the other online?) Anyway, as always, thank you for your insightful research and poetic narration. I wonder how many saps spent $90 when they could have been entertained as well as educated...for free.. technically.
    7
  2266. this is a really nice serious, the one about roman emperors... looking forward for the last 3

  2274. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first rail roads in Britain predated victorian era . In the 18 th century they were in coal mines where horses pulled mine carts of wooden tracks from pits to factories. In 1807 first passenger service was opened. There are too famous victorian train crash staple hurst rail killed ten people, injured 400 . Railways in victorian era seemed to cause anxiety and concern about madness because of noise and unpredictable nature of railways. First railway is Stockton , darlington railway. In the England first railway in the world was opened operate freight and passenger service with steam traction. First victorian train called Wynm in 1840. First successful steam railway was Liverpool and Manchester railway ( 1830). First train was built in England by Richard trevithick , British engineer in Cornwall. Interesting facts about victorian railway 3 sterling pound was spent on building railway from 1845 to 1900. In 1870 , 423 milion passenger travelled on 16, 000 miles of track by end of queen Victoria reign over 1100 million passengers were using trains . By the time south eastern railway opened railway as far as Dover in 1844 , 2210 miles of line had been opened, making travel around country easier more comfortable and less expensive. Railway allowed people to travel , further , more quickly. Victorian railway now knowns as vic rail was divided into two in 1983 . Thank you for giving us chance to read and learn new information , improve our English as well.

  2276. What awesome episode. I salute you on having the fortitude to cover this controversial subject. Much respect to you. Cheers from Down Under.
    7
  2277. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly with every new video I learn new information, new vocabularies. Hideout means place of retreat, concealment . Villain person who behavior is unprincipled, dishonorable. During victorian era there are numbers of house breakers and expert burgers . But most interesting things l learned is jack ripper is most famous serial killer but unfortunately unidentified . He have other names whitechapel murder , leather apron . Although he never identified proved to be extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy. His intelligence helped him fly under radar and enabled him to continue crimes . Jack ripper featured in hundreds of works of fiction. In 2006 bbc history magazine selected him as worst Briton in history . 2016 jack ripper museum opened west London . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  2289. Great video!! What an interesting account. One can feel the desperation of the Reverend in still trying to be a man of God, but also realizing the harsh reality of what the people were suffering and knowing there was no true quick fix. Another intriguing perspective of his was in the manner that these folks could easily become professional beggars also refusing work because it required less effort to obtain necessities by begging instead. In the Bible there is a verse that reads, “If a man does not work, he does not eat.” I’m sure that verse was resolutely on the mind of the good Reverend as well.

    7
  2294. How are you doing sir although victorian era is really misery for low class but deserves to read do research thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s it’s easy written by grace Elliot no joke life of victorian street clown sadly in modern age comedians seem to be over represented when comes to suffering from depression because of pressure of being funny for living in 1851 when Henry May hew interviewed one of London full time street clowns he discovered pathetic figure who was ashamed for work he made for his living. Mayhew describes sad man he was his face was scored with lines wrinkles he orphaned at age of nine he worked as stable lad and then became general body at astiey owned as first circus he watched other performers found he had decent singing voice tried his luck on. Entertaining on streets with heavy heart

  2295. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary . Unfortunately recently we have increasing of COVID-19 patients . Many people thought that pandemic is over but the truth this infectious disease is still . We must be carful don’t kiss or handshake with anyone. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it slums is housing often by ( unsafe , unhealthy homes , lack of windows, dirt floor , leaking walls and roofs ) . Imean still exists . Slums were overcrowded, limited or no access to basic services, water , toliets , electricity, transportation. Infested means fest to spread or swarm in or over in troublesome manner . Actually several isolated cases of cholera occurred on m London in 1852 . It was not however until 1853 that was officially announced by British authorities that cholera epidemic was claimed victims not only in London but also in other parts of country.

  2310. a burning question - were there outhouses? i can’t even imagine what being sick to the stomach or diarrhea meant to the living conditions. how incredibly horrible, demeaning, extremely depressing, and incredibly sad. and yet, they fought against going the workhouses. i just can’t begin to imagine. 🦠

How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well with new video of your channel as if iam attending new lecture any way the past is really so sad and misery especially for poor people and their children too as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s children worked in industrial revolution for long hours insanitary factories workshops their work was often tedious or degrading their bosses punished them physical abuse them poor kids who were employees at young age they whipped them hitkicked slapped the factories employing children were often very dangerous places leading to injuries and even death cramped with poor ventilation trauma from machinery exposure to heavy metal dust .

  2322. My maternal grandmother, born in 1903, was from a large family who lived in a cottage with no running water ( she had to go and carry buckets back from a well and was a tiny person), no bathroom and an outside privy. In the 1920s she worked as a nanny and maid of all work for a middle class family. She was there for many years until she met my Grandpa and got married. Incidentally the cottage still exists!

  2323. I haven't been a sub very long ,but I am always so happy when I find such a wonderful channel to add to my personal list of highly excellent ones! You deserve a million subs and I'm telling everyone I know to check it out! Yours is such a wonderful channel! The amount of research and info,the way you present and write the script for the topics ..and most important to me - the personality and great narration and style! I adore your voice! Part pirate,part VIctorian Cockney with a major sense of authenticity! Are you a time traveler from then? Because you are superb !As you narrate it sets the mood and sends my mind into believing I'm actually there and feeling like I am suddenly Oliver Twist or walking there like I'm in a Dickens novel myself!Bravo!!!!!! I'm loving this channel very much!!!!

  2325. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well the victorian age is really dark age for poor people really very sad period as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s the most common punishment in 19 th century method of execution by hanging almost all towns cities had place of executions with scaffold in London tyburn near where marble arch stands today .during 19 th century attitudes toward punishment began to change there was increasing use of prisons and greatest belief in reforming prisoners ideas of retribution and revenge became less important in punishment this change in attitude can be seen in reform of criminal code . Hard labour was common punishment many Victorians believed that having work very hard would prevent criminals committing crimes in future. Crank and treadmill prisons do pointless tasks such as turn crank up to 10, 000 times a walk for hours on giant circular treadmills. Victorian prison common punishment included transportation sending offender to America or Australia or van diemens land (Tasmania) or execution hundreds of offences carried death penalty by 1830s people were having doubt about both these punishment most crimes at that time petty thefts .

  2331. The Thackeray Museum in Leeds (UK) is a brilliant place to visit if you can. There was a gentleman called Ian Dewhirst who was a great archivist from Keighley, West Yorkshire. It's also no wonder that the Brönte family died young - at least the parsonage was at the top of the hill but the water running through the cemetery ran straight down the road and into the mill workers cottages that are now expensive bijou cottages that would have housed how many? Good old Industrial Revolution/Capitalism eh 😔😔. These women were angels. Thanks so much for your work and information. Good wishes to you, all you love and followers Worldwide. Solstice Blessings 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  2332. Engels and Marx also gave some astonishing reports of the english working class conditions in their famous work on the topic. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic. There was one report in particular that really affected me. It was the report explaining the all too common phenomenon of children under the age of 12 being permanently disabled - due to working up to 14 hrs a day on the factory floors. Many of the children employed were too young to have adequately developed muscle and skeletal strength. Consequently the long hours standing in place would eventually produce a curvature of the shin bone - which would eventually bow out into a semi circle. This eventually rendered the children irreparably disabled invalids for life. As much as this was a grotesque tragedy for the child who had an utterly bleak, and miserable existence to look forward to, it was also a tragedy for the poor families who now also had to care for invalids - when they could scarcely care for themselves. My younger self was in disbelief that such things could have been tolerated. I have come to be less surprised the more I learn about the world.

  2345. Thank you sooo much for another engrossing, informative production. I’m enjoying these so much. I’ve never really been interested in Jack London, but now intend to see if my local library can supply his works. PS you’re one of the few channels in which I don’t skip ads. At the moment, that’s the only way I can support you.

  2346. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary sir . Honestly it’s very miserable period at that time but worth researching. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s breaker boys means coal mining workers in USA , United Kingdom whose job to separate impurities from coal in hand . Breaker boys began in mid 1960s . Breaker existed by mid 1880s , practice didn’t end unit 1920s . Unfortunately coal mines employed children to work in coals breaker , area outside of mine where coal was sorted and graded , known as ( breaker boys ) . These children would work for ten to twelve hours a day is separating slate from coal . Factory and mine kept children out of school and also put them at great physical risk. Boys younger than ten worked as breaker boys . Picking slate out of harvested coal hard working boys , could be promoted to job doorboy or mule boy . Many boys took pride in this tougher work , proud to light as gas lantern on their cap and descended deep into mine tunnel to work with older miners .iread right now book breaker boy main theme about Nate tannel is rich boy whose family owns coal mines near hazleton,Pennsylvania. He has everything he needs as kid except friend . He meets Johnny Easy going polish American boy who works sorting coal in filthy dark building called breaker. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your family friends.

  2348. Jane Austen this is not! How, and where, on Earth do you find these extraordinary narratives? Every week I'm astounded by your sources. I deduce this is Sparrow, T (1898) 'Love in the Slums', in Quiver, London, issue 615, or something akin to it? Sparrow was also, apparently, author of 'As one of the Penniless Poor and 'The Fickle Lover'. Yet again, a fascinating and unique history. Bravo!

  2352. I really enjoyed watching the video whilst going on street view and looking at all the streets that have been mentioned, it s crazy that even though they are modernized now, you can still imagine what they could have looked like in the 19th century. Btw, does anyone know what is the name of the "Eastward" street today?

  2359. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I gathered main information about topics you mentioned as always. Gotham is nickname for New York dates back to early 19 th . When legend of sleeping hollow writer Washington Irving gave city nickname in his literary magazine. Gotham known as extremely dangerous neighborhood, similar to slum . Plagued by Violence, crime, district which were living vicious criminals. Various Ganges and monsters have claimed dominion over narrows but wars for supremacy are not common. Merry Christmas happy new year. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  2386. How very, very sad. The poorest of the poor. Having grown up poor, white, small farming community in North America poor, we at least had a garden and mom & I could sew. Dad was a farm hand, winter was oatmeal, potatoes and eggs as well as anything we could bake. Everything was clean n scrubbed, as though we had 5 kids and poorly educated parents, we didn't exactly starve and we were clean with a small sense of well being as others weren't as lucky as we were, though a greater number in town had things much better off. I can't imagine Whitechapel, own nothing, scrape to live, freeze and can't change the filth. No one able to help another much, and not mattering at all to the wealthy or powers that be to change the mechanics of this area.

  2393. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly with every new video I learn new information, new vocabularies. Nomads means person with no settled home , moving from place to place as way of obtaining foods , finding pasture to live stock or other wise making living as people who live in desert we call them Bedouin. I just know there are victorian cameras . John Thomason was Scottish photographer , traveler . He known for discovered electronic and than went on to propose model 1 for structure of atom . His work led to invention of spectrograph British Joseph John . He took picture with victim Mary before few weeks of her death .
    6
  2394. Even today modern history has been found to be wrong after studies,like custers last stand when really his men were simply mowed over.It strikes me strange that both Caligula and Nero both thought they were gods and both insane.They probably were just spoilt brats who were cruel.Even later emperors selected by merit were murdered by the praetorian guard and weren't denounced as mad.I don't know what to believe,it's certainly good to watch and read though
    6
  2395. Fantastic video as always , thank you
    6
  2396. Really cool it's like hobo lore. Really reminds me of some modern traditions like people having weird names and such.

  2406. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s love in victorian era love came wrapped in form of letters, which became primary medium of community erasing hierarchical difference between people and connecting them . Lockets , antique, Coins and , portraits , poems , sketches, paintings were exchanged and personified with beauty of one beloved. Victorian Romance from 1832 to 1901 Began in dating in victorian era called courtship was dating period which occurred before marriage. There are interesting article written in 2021 titled ( date like victorian courtship ,and romance in victorian era. By beginning of 19 th century marriage. Many modern ideals surround in love and marriage today have roots in Victoria era . In 19 th century marriage for economic and social purpose were failing out of popularity. Companionate marriage, this ideal shaped way that people met and courted in 19 th century. Because of rise of popularity of companionate marriage, young people had more independence in their choice of partner than previous generation. Many people met through work or social events like picnic .

  2429. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir. As I read whitechapel in east end of London is experienced with high amounts of crimes and difficulties in policing at end of 19 th century. Whitechapel slums known as ( rookeries) where houses were divided into several apartments, sometimes with 30 people in each house . Whitechapel is so famous because, it associated with serial killer Jack ripper. In the east London , committed many crimes, people in whitechapel didn’t report them out of fear of gangs, would attempt them again. Whitechapel residents they worked in several jobs such as tailors , shoe markers, labour de railway construction, long hours working with low wages . East London known today as buffalo city municipality. 19 th century British novelist John Galsworthy observed British society very closely and portrayed many of social aspects in his novel . He wrote 19 th century England saw huge population increased accompanied by rapid urbanization due to industrial revolution. The casues and sequences of industrialization led to degradation of masses in society as most of people were poor, economically not so sound and introduct of machines in industries. Lot of labourers were replaced, which resulted into high level of unemployment, who were employed were forced to work at minimum wages. Everyone was under influence of class. Values and humanity had taken back seat in society. Industrial revolution caused several social problems like unemployment, poverty, emergence of slums , degradation have been discussed by John Galsworthy in his novel . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  2430. Your Channel is exceptionally eye opening, giving a vivid glimpse into the real life experiences of ordinary people. I suspect that, similar to myself you feel strongly about class differences and the misery imposed upon the souls of those with very, very little in life. Best wishes to everyone here of the same mind. 🧡

  2442. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s I read excellent article written on March 31 2021 , by Julie brumby Leeds Beckett university, titled reformatory and industrial training school ships in 19 th century. Reformatory and industrial training school ships developed in 19 th century as response to concerns about juvenile crime, reformatory and industrial schools were established on land and these schools had problems with training employment for youths when they left . At this time England was maritime country with constant need for sailors . So idea arose to borrow old wooden ship , fill it with juvenile delinquents and train them to be sailors. Boys would be educated as well as being taught trade , so they could earn honest living rather than returning to crime . Isolation, being moored out in river also provided total removal of boys from their corruptive environment, family and friends. In 19 th century there were four types for training school ships , two of them intended for criminal youths .

  2443. We moved to England from 1971 to 1976, I was a teen when we returned to the US. Since then I’ve been interested in GB’s history, especially the 18th and 19th century. The poor went through unimaginable pain, having only misery to look forward to and with no hope of climbing out of their social order which they were born into. I appreciate your channel, thank you much!

  2449. They had bad quality cloth too I believe.. Recycled woven cloth from scraps.. They called this low standard cloth by the name of Shoddy.. The Fibres were not so strong.. A rough weak cloth that didn't wear well.. This word we still use today As a word meaning low standard Shoddy.. These tales of times gone by are amazing.. Just as you said... I too can listen visualising a life I once had feeling familiar with the times.. The detail used feeds your imagination.. Imagine A poverty so harsh you have no shirt on your back ..shoes on your feet..food in your belly.. Today's poverty so very different..

  2460. Yes. No living wage. Seasonal work even for bootmakers etc. The working poor around Drury Lane/ St Giles must have inspired Marx, renting close by, to focus on the importance of labour. His secular Christianity, in many ways. Mayhew wrote accounts which are still shocking. And religious reformers. And Dickens etc. Fascinating times.

  2464. I like your voice its really good for the vlogs you post, its very educational learning about the East end of London around where Jack The Ripper once prowled the streets, I really like your channel, did every town in United Kingdom have a workhouse? has anybody bought the book called Spitalfields nippers by Horace Warner its well worth the read, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

  2482. Well Domitian and Heliogabalus wasnt bad at all i mean ost of the things ppl say who are bad about thoses 2 were lies made of the senate for many reasons and there is emperrors who did a lot of bads stuff like Decius or Galerius also about christians perscution its a bad arguement because even the best emperrors did it like Marcus Aurelius for exemple

    6
  2493. How are you doing as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually slum life in 19 th century main features of slum life were drunk ness lawlessness immortality and crimes and London slums attracted attention of the journalists and social researchers who described extreme poverty degradation violence the origin of London slums date back to mid eighteen century in last decade of nineteen century population expanded to four million which high demand for cheap housing and most well of Victorians were ignorant or pretend to be ignorant of sub human slum life there several slums such as slums of east London were working classes live there native English Irish immigrants German Jews and white chapel became overcrowded and crime infested provided shelter for some 8000 homeless and spitalfield actually it’s hospital for leper’s inhabited by prosperous French hugent silk weavers and inhabited by Jewish immigrants too there are Jewish synagogues chervoles which is small place for worship
    6
  2494. I can't believe how early I am. I've been intrigued by the possible identity of the Whitechapel murderer for a long time, and why they were unable to catch him. Thank you for another perspective on this.

  2523. Ironically enough i always end up enjoying a beer or two while im watching your videos of a sunday night after a full weekend of work, i suppose its all things in moderation!
    6
  2524. Interesting I think what people forget that these spirits were once living, breathing humans, who live and loved. Some of the haunting could be residual kind of like a tape playing over and over, it's not actually haunted just replaying what happened there. The sad ones are the intelligent hauntings especially children who are stuck.
    6
  2525. Great story teller
    6
  2526. This was a morbidly fascinating video, even though it was incredibly sad. It’s hard to even fathom just how horrible conditions were for so many thousands of people. In fact, it’s rather surprising that so many managed to survive at all. The dirt and filthy conditions were unsanitary enough to make life unbearably impossible. The story of the man who couldn’t shake the cold was sobering. Imagine never feeling comfortable, well fed or rested? And yet they were stalwart and resilient enough to persevere in spite of the harshness of their lot. I could only cringe that the narrator described the children as being “rats”……and they probably were treated like rats too. It’s no wonder that cycles of abuse still remain, passed down through generations even after things have outwardly improved . It must’ve been hard to have had hope in the future but hope was something that they were obliged to hold onto, although it didn’t seem like there was very much to look forward to. Thank you very much for sharing this piece of history. It really puts things into perspective, and in spite of how tough things can often seemingly be today, even the lowliest kind of living in our time is purely luxurious in comparison. 💔💔💔

  2541. Great narrator These videos about hardship make me feel better about my messed up life. Thank you
    6
  2542. Having stayed on the streets and in a shelter for the homeless, I can attest that there were many nights I was far more desperate to be dry and warm inside or at least sheltered from the wind...being clean was a luxury. A growling stomach hurt but nothing was worse than dehydration and the ache from cold joints. I am glad there are those who sought to help these poor souls, and those who seek to help people like myself now. For reference, I am not addicted to any substance. Merely in debt and struggling to find a job that will pay enough to let me rent an apartment. Low-income housing is extremely sparse in America.
    6
  2543. Thank you Fact Feast for another great video! Child labour isn't right, but the thought of 4 and 6 year olds being patient enough to make matchboxes does make me wonder. Most of today's children would not be still enough to help, much less listen to instructions. Being paid a starvation wage was adding insult to an empty stomach, for sure. I look forward to the next video!!

  2547. I like Cream of Wheat which I think is a porridge, (forgive my ignorance) I make it with milk, a bit of real butter and a touch of brown sugar. Those ingredients are a MUST. I could not imagine making it in a pot that had fish made in it. 😭 I feel gloriously spoiled when I watch these videos. 💕 But also I feel much sympathy for the always-hungry, exhausted and existing-without-hope, people of the past.

  2552. Hi I've just discovered your chanel through this excellent video and sad tale. As a resident of Glasgow I found it to be right up my street in more ways than one. I wonder if Nora ever found Sheila.
    6
  2553. I found this to be very interesting, I never knew these facts about British pies before. I knew only a little about British pies 🥧, but I hope to get to England to try some someday. This channel has some of the best history videos I’ve ever seen, I highly recommend them! 😊

  2554. Another excellent video. Excellent as always.
    6
  2555. How are you doing sir merry Christmas happy new year in advance as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually Victorians and Edwardians drank for pleasure but they also drink for pain as use of alcohol as treatment in medical practice continued throughout 19and 20 th centuries. Druckness was huge problem not just in London but throughout whole of country in later decades of 19 th century. Press coverage that ended to focus on East end of London as being breeding ground for majority of vices that blighted Victorian society as drinking habits victims of drink tragic results of propensity to drink husband goes to bed his wife is still out of doors drinking with her friends many men are unaware their wives take their husbands Sunday clothes on Monday morning to pawn shop spend money obtain drink

  2575. One of my 4x great grandfathers died of 'senile decay' (old age) in a workhouse in Ireland. It says so on his death certificate. I feel sad about it though I don't know any of the circumstances. My 3x great grandma, his daughter, had already emigrated to Australia with her husband and children, and they wouldn't have seen each other again.

    6
  2588. The grim truth, very well read, thank you
    6
  2589. Just came across this video... horrifying, to say the least, of the living conditions of the poor at that time. But, the words spoken and recorded by this woman were amazingly descriptive and brought to life the wretched lives that these people endured. Certainly, as she expressed, the ones to be pitied were not those who died, but those who recovered from their illnesses, only to continue in their daily miserable suffering...
    6
  2590. Really nice and what a great voice to narrate. It struck Me, with the tale of the elderly man with wrinkles, that for many, a journey by train was brand new . What changes the elderly must have seen up too, and after, train travel.

Status partially demolished in 1897 now Columbus park .this place was in the past for generations of newyork underworld from dead rabbits to gambino crime family. Bend horrific conditions served as incubator for gangs of newyork. Only tiny sliver of this infamous neighborhood still exists. By time of potato famine bend ranked ad one of densely populated urban area in world Irish immigrants and free African Americans. There are too peddlers hawked , stale bread , stolen goods .mafia called mulberry bend home during civil war. Irish street gang . By 1870s Called whyos known as gang of newyork.

  2603. Something about the old man with the dark glasses made me tear up. The fact that he was 72 and still working because he didn't want to be a bother to his family and the fact that so many folk were paying for the match boxes clashing violently against the circumstances of Victorian Britain. I went down the family tree to confirm that we were part of the travelling community and in the 1880-1890 period our family, at least on the mother's side, contained a cluster of hawkers including the youngest daughter who sold ribbons. Knowing that they might have sold matches on the go as well...

  2615. I worked down at Aldwych for 5 days with a film director and 3 support crew in 1998, 4 years after closure. The first two days involved planning & site surveys for the professional production on health & safety. This involved touring & measuring parts of the last used platform, the platform disused many years ago and walking into tube tunnel towards Holborn to a crossover where a 4 car 1972 built train was stabled. Readers of this can believe it or not, but I saw a semi-transparent very thin woman who seemed to be in her early 30s with long wavey mousey coloured hair and a long loose cream coloured dress. This was actually at Aldwych in one of the passenger walkway tunnels near the extant platform, still used for filming etc. I was with one other chap at the time who went cold and said his skin started to tingle about 30 seconds before I saw the lady. He saw nothing, but reacted adversely to his experience in that his face turned very white. My heart started beating faster until the image I saw disappeared (what looked like she was walking into the tiled wall on our left). The subsequent walks down the track toward Holborn were very creepy and the only other thing I saw was a very odd floating orb-like glow that moved from the roof of the tunnel into the distance. Initially it seemed close to me and appeared about 9 inches in diameter with some depth and foggy glow to it. All 4 of the others spoke at exactly the same time of it getting very cold in the tunnel. When I told them what I'd just seen it went quiet. No one even commented on my description. I would state in a Court of law that there are definitely Spiritual happenings down there.

  2618. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it is first of all definition of sewer is waste pipe that carries sewage or surface water . Synonyms cloaca , gutter , septic tank . London whitechapel fat berg in 2017 Thames water horrifying discovery sewer below whitechapel fat berg 250 meters long , 130 tons mass of oil and grease congealed with wet wipes and other sanitary products. Fat berg weighing more than African elephant has been cleared from severe in central London. In February 2018 museum of London opened fat berg . The display about infamous whitechapel fat berg is huge clump of oil , rubbish and waste which block up severe below city . Fat berg is biggest one ever found in uk . It’s piece of history and amount of press and public interest. Fat berg is important because it’s something made by fascinates people as society they created this unseen growing monster that lives in sewers , place that they depend on but never see . It’s also mysterious resides underground. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  2626. I've learned a lot about my Victorian English roots due to the great information provided in these articles. I only wish I could do more to support the channel as I'm very grateful. 🙏

  2627. I can't believe what it must have been like living by there. Sadly people drinking contaminated water is still present today including some areas of America. Growing up in Middlesex there was a sewage works called Mogdon which was a far way away from us. On a hot summer day and night sometimes the smell would travel and you would have to close all the windows and doors and go inside because of the smell. Our neighbors also used fresh cow manure for his plants which didn't help. Was the picture of death in the boat from Punch because of the great stink ? You always do great presentations.

  2636. As ever, most enjoyable, very informative and the best social history available on the net. Street boys are a feature of the novels by Arthur Conan-Doyle. Sherlocks Holmes holds them in high regard as "The Baker Street Irregulars", youths who can "Go everywhere and hear everything". He pays them to gather intelligence and track down individuals. Although described by Watson as the dirtiest collection of "Street Arabs", it is intimated they are good souls trying to cope with living a very hard, unforgiving, life. Also potentially good soldiery, readily marshalled and grateful for 1 shilling pay per day. The French equivalent were the notorious Parisienne "Gamin", of whom Victor Hugo was similarly well opined. Thinking about it, "Gavroche" in Les Miserables shares many of Holmes' Irregulars' qualities. Thank you! Your channel always stimulates some new thoughts and ideas about the Victorian age. Looking forward to next week. All the best.

Merry Christmas happy new year actually iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen since Christmas 2019 I began to subscribe to the British and American YouTube channels we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us learn new information to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well i gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s Christmas Day in Victorian era story of poverty of people in England that time rates of people living in poverty increased drastically transformed idea of Christmas and became centered around family preparation eating feast decoration gifts giving entertainment poor people could work in mine Milles factories or workhouse they have low wages. Many poor people made rabbit before victorian era invented Christmas tree dinners revived. Yule log poor kids on Christmas that time focus stockings commonly filled fruit nuts. The end of 19 th century more 25 percent of population was living at blew subsistence level iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English language as none native speakers stay safe blessed thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel good luck to you your dearest ones

  2652. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel although it’s really misery for people especially low class at that time it’s very painful story any away as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s common lodging house is victorian era term form of cheap accommodation in which inhabitants are lodged together in one or more rooms in common with rest of lodgers who are not members of one family for eating or sleeping slang term flophouse is roughly equivalent of common lodging houses nearest and lodging house is building that has been divided into rooms each rooms each let to different people some rooms were let for 8 hours allowing owners to increase profits. Many rooms have double beds not all lodging houses were heated if heat was available it’s would be from hot stoves placed in hallways residents faced vermin general filth horrific smells along with ice other bedbugs Mice .

  2661. Robert Ford reputedly shot Jessie James in the back to claim the reward. JJ had supposedly given up crime, married and settled down in a little house. RF went to visit him pretending to be out of friendship. At least the story I know of. So, RF got his comeuppance.

  2664.  @FactFeast  Not specifically any treasure chests at all actually. I live on the Eastern shore of Delaware, and a few years ago a chest dated from the early 1920s or so actually washed up on the beach of a park in ocean city MD. Since the beach is was by the currents of the bay are so strong they were actually able to dig it out of its hiding spot and wash it ashore. I believe that if there is any treasure this would most likely be the way anybody finds it. The Carolinas are notorious for spitting up all kinds of crazy fossils are artifacts ashore all the time.

  2673. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all match sticks they were invited by English chemist named John walker im 1827 . In many cultures parents would request assistance of matchmaker in finding suitable spouse for their child .Enola Holmes and her relative matchgirls strike is real historical event . Workers or matchgirls young aged six years old. Many of girls at factory at thirteen years old. Their work stand for all day , only 2 scheduled breaks , any unscheduled toilet break , would dedicated from their meagre wages . They worked 14 hours a day in east end of London vapors on daily basis. Matching company won on strike to expose company poor conditions. They were able to secure some labor rights for themselves, they were inspired unskilled workers in other industries to unionize and demand changes . On July they gave demands of ( match girls) ended fines system and re - employed those who had been sack ending strike . It’s was not until 1901 that Bryant , May finally stopped using dangerous yellow phosphorus in their matches . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information and improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  2706. Great episode

  2707. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly with every new video I learn new information and new vocabularies. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for meanings of following words hustlers means scammers , swindlers. Sucker person who is easily tricked or deceived . Gangster is criminal who is member of gang . American frontier is known as old west , probably known as Wild West , encompasses geography, history , folklore, culture associated with forward of American expansion in mainland North American that began with European colonial settlements in early 17 th century. It’s created tradition of self - sufficiency that is distinctly American and promoted composite American Nationality. In year 1893 Frederick Rick Jackson turner argued that settlement of west had ended . Frontier era in USA 19 th century came to close . Wildest town in west is bodie with population of over 10, 000 was one of most infamous places in Whole USA . Reputed as worst most violent and most lawless town in Wild West . In 1870s roughest town in Wild West was palisade nevada, entire country know about senseless, killing, rampant violent . Life like in boomtowns as miners described noisy , smelly , dirty . Old west towns still exist such as deadwood South Dakota, calico California. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  2711. Very cool. Would like to see more like this

  2712. I just found out both sets of my paternal great grandparents came to America through Elis Island during the early 20th century. They were Bohemian/German and Slavic and eventually settled in the Midwest of Ohio and Pennsylvania and Texas where my paternal grandmother was born from German farmers who eventually migrated there. It is extremely interesting to see their occupations on the 1920 census and that my paternal grandfather s mother came to this country as a child who's mother was actually a widow and started earning enough money from cleaning houses to open her own boarding house! I just love watching your videos and the way you tell history. The people of the US all come from immigrants, with exception of the indigenous people. That's why it boils my blood to see the wave of xenophobia crop up within the recent decade, white people who came from European immigrants, tell our newest immigrants to go back to their own countries! It boggles my mind they can't remember where they came from too! And history repeats itself.
    6
  2713. I thought you only done London vlogs about Victorian England, but its good that you've Newcastle also, what life must of been like, if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have vaccinations for TB and all the other diseases people died from, good vlog, this is Paul in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England

  2720. Mateee I’m shattered after a 9:30am - 5pm shift at the archive’s - goodness gracious I can hardly imagine how quickly I would crumble under the standard workdays of Victorian working-classes 💀 And I’m not malnourished, dirty and sleeping in overcrowded slums, your entire family to one room and a single bed 😢 I shudder to think- I don’t even have any kids to support, and am lucky to have the support of my parents, siblings and grandparents plus friends and others Most of These poor, poor people were all on their own… Truly soul destroying work 🙇🏻I don’t pray often, but I’ll Make an exception here God grant these poor unfortunates rest, peace and the love they so desperately deserved in life 🙏✨ 💯% I’d be a raving-pauper in a month, maximum

  2723. Whether or not this was a genuine interview by Baxter, I'm impressed that as the man behind Punch, which was an upper or at least middle class publication, he had such an interest in the poor and or criminal classes. I've enjoyed your other offerings from him too. Obviously, these interviews were published in Punch, which means those more fortunate(and perhaps honest) were very interested in the lives of the lower (or under) class. Once again, your narration was excellent, you really captured the character. Kudos.

  2733. The German Army in WW2 recycled their worn uniforms (I know that the British did the same in WW1). The Germans added rayon fibre to the reweaving. Toward the end of the War German uniforms contained up to 60% rayon. They could be recognized by their pilling. They also caught fire easier. I wonder what "fillers" were used to bulk up the recycled clothing in Victorian times?

  2734. Brilliant and very interesting. Keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  2738. Awh! I appreciate this so much! Long have I searched for this information. My Granddad was English, and his parents from England immigrated to the USA. To make ends meet, my Irish Grandmother said he gathered old rags and raised mules. I don't think she was proud of this, but with the little they had, they were able to meet very meager necessities. My grandmother raised me, and by the age of 12, I was sewing all my clothes and could cook an entire meal, that my dad said tasted exactly like hers. Everything from basic ingredients. Ironically, I failed sewing in school because I did all my button holes and closings by hand and stitched them on a treadle machine, which I still have. Everyone else used button hole makers on new machines. But I was the only one who made my own school clothes. I did excell in cooking class because I knew all the basics without a second glance. We worked in teams of 4, and our team always finished first with the best presentation and best tasting. I still make some of my clothes because the quality of today's ready-made clothing is so poor. If you have more references for reading about this class of people, I would surely appreciate knowing what they are.
    6
  2739. I love this channel. Wonderful sources about life in the 19th. century, beautifully narrated. I suppose a home on the prairie was dreamt of as being better than a life in the workhouse. Hard times. Whatever.

  2742. In these times of unblinkered nostalgia for days gone by, historical revisionism and rampent populism your channel does important work in high lighting social history in a space that's saturated by pop history about kings and generals etc.

  2743. Always a great listen! And the images to go
    6
  2744. Think of Limehouse today with it's hipster bars serving craft beers, it's boutique shops and it's complete gentrification.
    6
  2745. Viewing the workhouse from our now comfortable lives they may seem almost barbaric but they were a massive step forward, both for the individual and society, than just a decade earlier. My grandfather was born in a workhouse in 1889. His mother lived until the 1930s so was able to tell my family of the circumstances which were quite straightforward - without the workhouse she and he would have had no medical care or a roof over their head and would in all probability have died. For the poor going to the workhouse for relief,especially for those requiring some medical attention, was the norm. Victorian London was a mass of people who flocked to the city for the simple reason that life there was better than rural life where the poor had no care, food or housing. Workhouses were one of the main reasons the rural poor headed for the towns and cities.
    6
  2746. Absolutely love this. Forget the great men and woman of history. Give me the lives of their subjects. Food, living conditions, all of it. It's far more interesting. The great majority of my books are geared toward the domestic side of historical peoples. Currently I am reading the diary of Samual Pepys. Volume 2. I know totally different era. Lol! As for the Victorian era Ruth Goodman has some wonderful books on the subject. I dunno I always found Victorian Britain to be grime, unless you part of the upper classes. Just my opinion.
    6
  2747. A very good episode! I had never even her of Saloop before! To think now there is a Starbucks on every corner selling you a $8.00 latte! 😂 I personally also question coffee’s adulteration these days as it is a very easy thing to lessen the quality of!

  2749. When tenants were behind with their rent they would do 'a moonlight flit'. As they had little or no furniture it was just a matter of walking the family from one place to another. There are many cases like the Camberwell Starvation case of March 1895. The most tragic one, for me, is the unemployed London docker who after his wife had been placed in Banstead Lunatic Asylum sought to bring his two girls up and on his first day in work for some time died of malnutrition in the employers warehouse. In Charles Booth's map of London poverty it can be seen that total squalor is within a couple of streets of great wealth. This is mainly because 'daily' servants had to live near their employment.

  2763. Great content. Your voice is full of character and delivers quality impact when you emphasize points. This is the second vid I've watched of yours from my recommended list. I enjoy history shows like this one! The first I watched on my TV, so interaction wasn't possible. "Crawlers" I think it was. I thought I'd offer a recommendation that is small but would have made your presentation even more enjoyable: I presume you use a computer or pad for your script. I think for clearer line delivery, it might be helpful to break your lines into sections more for clarity sake than anything else. Literally the easiest method for this is to hit enter where you want your, breaks, beats, or strongly emphasized statements. Use or don't. I didn't have any issue following you. But clarity might encourage even more viewership. Love the content. 😊

  2775. This was so well narrated: tone of voice, accents, characters and inflection! So vividly described by the visitor to the slums. But no matter how ghastly he images of what he describes are pictured in the mind, the reality would've been far worse. For someone who lived in those times to be so shocked, we today would be even more so. I do not know how these poor people could have endured the stench of the slums day in day out for years on end (all their short lives probably). It must've seriously reduced their appetites and caused almost constant nausea. And that "putrid" turkey--ewww- I hope the Irish woman didn't cook it in the end, because it would surely have resulted in serious poisoning.

  2795. Last part of my research housing at whitechapel was terrible rows of terraced houses were built to accommodate massive influx workers to factories . There are no sanitation and sewage ran openly through overcrowded streets. I forget name of whitechapel because there are two streets same name whitechapel street and white chapel road both streets are named for chapel was destroyed during blitz in London world war 11. There are very famous serial killer called jack ripper he killed five women all prostituties there are eleven separate murders from 1888 to 1891 known at police services white chapel murders crimes at whitechapel district linked to poverty, unemployment but really jack ripper was very cruel he took his victims body parts in case of Catherine edd he took her kidney . There are around 1200 prostitutes were sell themselves for little money three pence or just loaf of bread . Jack ripper was polish immigrant named too Aaron kosminski called leather apron , white chapel murder his motive sexual sadism he never caught because murder was uncommon during reign of Queen Victoria and jack ripper was young man aged 23 years old whose collected murders body parts from Thames River he became killer because he saw murder of his son and he suffered from sociopath and personality disorder.

  2811. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of river Thames is symbol of city endurance and resilience. It’s only river in Europe have national trail following entire length, also winds away all three areas of outstanding natural beauty. Story goes back over 30 million years ago when river Thames was once tributary of river rhine because Britain was not island . In 1700s river served as major hub for thriving British empire. In 1858 hot summer elevated stench to under able level resulted episode known as great stink . Folklore of river Thames themes has been as site of pagan ritual , sacred ritual and popular celebration since ancient times. Ghosts , strange stories, lurk within tunnels, tributaries and sewers . Monsters of river tales and ideas of serpents goes back hundred of years . In 17 th century whale appeared in deep ford and black wall and were quickly killed. Shark watch annual register in 1787 . In 19 th century whale beached in wool which and met similar fate . Thank you for giving us chance to read and learn new information and improve our English as well.

  2820. I wonder about Jack London wandering through the East End " disguised". In a time before mass tourism anyone not from the area would instantly have stood out like a sore thumb ( and be in danger) within minutes but London with his American accent must've stood out like a creature from another planet. I remember reading somewhere that someone from the American Embassy got wind of what he was planning and had advised against it.

  2824. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I noticed most of channel content of channel 99 percent about victorian era and misery of poor people and working class . Any way as I am gathering information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s victorian statistically in 1851 , half of 6 milion adult women in England laboured for their substance while 2 milion of these women laborued and were also unmarried. Victorian women they worked either in factories or domestic service of richer households or in family business. Many women worked also carried out home based worked such as finishing garments and shoes for factories, laundry or preparation of snacks to sell in market or streets. We too in Arabic countries women worked as peddlers better than begging.there are gross jobs in victorian era , ten dangerous and dirty victorian jobs you mentioned in previous videos such as for kids chimney sweeping, lee collectors , mud larks,rat catchers, dog poo collectors, sewer scavengers .

  2827. Good video. Interesting paperback book "The History of Labor in America" with photos of kids who worked seasonal canning vegetables in Baltimore. Young girl about ten had the tired face of an adult. Before labor laws parents took their kids out of school for the canning season. So disturbing to see these pictures.

  2844. Yet another fantastic video!! I do wish that the attitudes towards beggars and loafers were a bit more stringent today as they were back then. While I’m not at all against helping people who’ve found themselves in a bind due to a stroke of unfortunate circumstances, I’m not for helping people who are lazy, liars, or thieves! Here in my town in Texas, USA there are people on street corners with signs all decently dressed and well groomed begging for money. Their signs state that they’re homeless, but most of them are not. They’ve been watched and followed getting into their own vehicles and or going into an apartment at a nearby complex. Some cities have an ordinance against begging and I wish ours did as well.

  2845.

  2854. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I learn new information and new vocabularies every time you are posting. Sweeping definition is using broom to remove loose dirt from floor while cleaning up is making things orderly. Since 1990s sweeper position has fade away. Crossing sweepers we’re common in streets of English cities in 18 and 19 th centuries. They were making young poor boys who would sweep path a head of wealthy lady who wanted to cross street without soling her long dress . It’s unhygienic work causes accidents , injuries, wounds , animal bites. Good luck to you your dearest ones . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as none native speakers.

  2857. Those three small rooms in a ramshackle tenement a Sicilian family paid an unconscionable $25 a month for? The building has since been restored and spruced up and its apartments modernised and converted to condos. A large corporation has snatched up all the units and now those three rooms, furnished with avant-garde lighting and stainless steel appliances, is on the market for $3850 a month. And I'm sure influencer Cash Jordan has presented it on YouTube.

  2864. How are you doing sir thank you for wonderful cultural documentary about Victorian era . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually there are purchase of commissions in British army . Commission offices in English and later English army could be purchased for either infantry or cavalry regiments from 17 and 19 th centuries. This avoided need to be prompted for merit or seniority and was usual way to obtain commission in army . Practice began in 1683 during reign of King Charles, continued until was abolished in 1871 as part of cardwell reforms formally, purchase price of commission was cash bond for good behavior, liable to be forfeited if found guilty of cowardice, desertion or gross conduct. Really sir victorian era worth close reading. Good luck to you your loved ones.

  2867. Thank you for describing these sources and the reality of Britain's social history. I really look forward to Sunday. I wonder where Blank Court was? Although not precisely located, I imagine it would have been in the region of either Berners Mews or Bourlet Close where working class buildings of the era survive amidst the expensive houses of the Victorian and Edwardian upper and higher middle classes. It will, I hope, be located on contemporary maps. Thank you for the inspiration.

  2869. How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s I just found out that type of fish red herring were round staple of Victorian working class diet because they were easily cooked. Other favorites were cheap and easily obtainable varieties with better keeping qualities than more vulnerable white fish including Sparts , eels, shellfish, oysters, mussels, whelks. Best fish is king George white fish . As I read cheap fish of st Gilles in victorian era article street life in London in 1877 by John Thomson and Adolph smith. Street market that stretches between seven dials and what is called five dials , making his pitch by well known new Sagent, whose shop serves as landmark. On day when photograph was taken , he had succeeded in buying barrel of five hundred fish Herring of twenty five shillings. Out of these he selected about two hundred of largest fish , which he sold at penny , while he disposed of smaller herring at half penny . Trade was brisk at that moment through fish is sometimes much cheaper. I have seen fish herring sold at five penny and all more fortunate as notwithstanding small cost . They are expection of good salmon. I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones . Happy mother day . We in Arabic countries celebrate mother day in March as well as you in England.

  2875. Horrible but I don't understand why they never seemed to be cleaned up. Just because your poor, doesn't mean you can't clean floors or pick up the garbage. My grandmother had 10 kids during most of the years of the depression. Sometimes, my dad said, they had no shoes or hardly anything to eat, but he said she, with the help of his brothers and sisters, kept everthing as clean as possible. He actually remembers those times as the happiest of his life.

  2876. Loved this one! I was lucky to catch the Nickel Plate Road in the 1960's before they went out of service. They resembled these pictures inside, with high back tufted benches and huge windows. It was the run between Chicago and I forget what other city 🌿

  2888. How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly all of us know England love tea very much and have special time in a day known as tea time ( five clock tea or afternoon tea ) served with cakes , sandwiches or bread , jam . USA have iced tea sweetened with raspberry or lime . We in Arabic countries coffee is very popular drinks and symbolizes hospitality, we serve to our guests with dates . First appeared in Yemen . I just found out British people nation of coffee lovers in 17 th century. In victorian era coffee was cheap , Victorians paying fee taxes . Victorian era vending of tea and coffee in streets . Coffee stall keepers generally stand at corner of street . In fruit or meat markets . In convent garden there are less than four coffee stalls . Coffee vending is great business routes at victorian era , even working people on their way to their day labour . The best pitch in London is supposed to be at corner of duke street , Oxford street. In half pence one stall keeper . Coffee stall keepers usually sell coffee, tea some of them coco . They keep too hot milk in one large cans and they supply bread , cake in slices . If someone couldn’t get employment for six months , he sells coffee as means of living to support his family , to get bit of honesty. But honestly sir till nowadays street sellers some of them are cheaters and even restaurants owners many people have diseases or died from filthy food , home made food is butter , unfortunately people love fast food although 90 percent of Arabic YouTube channels about cooking recipes. Best wishes for you your loved ones.

  2937. I adore this channel! I literally laughed out loud @ 4:40… “A crowd was formed immediately, in the expectation of that favorite entertainment of a certain section of the British public: a free fight between two tipsy women.” Funny because it’s true. People have not changed at all. My significant other is a bartender, I played this for him and he loved it. Hello from across the pond, Nevada, USA (we too like to watch women fighting 🤣)

  2940. Fascinating, that sounds like some preferred to be "freelance" toshers instead of slaving away for starvation wages every day. I can relate to that kind of thinking. Even though I prefer to do my freelance work without any rats. 🙂

  2956. Ohhh well La Ti Da Mr. Author hoity toity Pember.🙄 My family on both sides came here from Ireland and for 5 generations on one side and 6 on the other, stayed in Brooklyn NY since they stepped off the boat. This is the stock I’m bred from. One of my grandfathers was born 1909 on Sackett Street in Brooklyn. His great grandparents came here. So I that would be mid 1800’s. And just like us old Brooklyn Irish, my family have either been criminals, NYPD, FDNY, or in the Trade Unions since we got here. Great video. Ya gotta love the tough history of a tough city. Though I can’t say I care for Mr. fancy pants Author Pember’s smug account it. Fun fact for ya: 15:40 That’s the time and place where the ‘Paddy Wagon’ (the Police Van) got its name from. Irish (Paddy’s). The common sight of Irish police throwing Irish people in the ‘Paddy’ wagon.

  2975. Last part of my research in 1840 bombing its cotton industry is world famous in Manchester but life expectancy is just 26 . Victorian Manchester is celebrates industrial expansion, technological and economic growth but there are on another side for ordinary people who worked in Milles, factories, life was hard , poverty was widespread and life expectancy was short . There are also in Manchester child labor, teeming slums , drinking , prostitution,illiteracy, spread of chorionic diseases and health conditions but many religious people were moved by appalling living conditions of working class and decide to do something. Find out about institutions to make difference between life and death for urban people. I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your loved ones .

  2992. My greatgrandmother wasw born in 1885 and when her young father died her older brother and her mother ended up in the local workhouse. I found a later census where it stated that her brother George was working in the local dockyard at 18 years odl. My great grandmother married in the early 1900s and had 16 kids all which lived, They lived in 2 houses and in 1938 for some reason she was in the newspapers as the Duke of York or Edninburgh paid them a visit as they were the first bi racial family to live in the area in Kent. I don´t know how they could afford to rent 2 houses at the time as my great grandfather only worked as a cement labourer or sometimes a coalman, I think her father was from the East End of London so I suppose they must have been typical working class cockneys.

  2996. Wow. WOW! Great history lesson for this 67 year old New York City born and bred college professor! You bring such a wonderfully detailed examination of the place MY grandparents came to to build a new life in 1919 and 1921; both of my parents being first generation native born Americans in the late 1920's. (My older sister retrieved the records of arrival in New York City for all four of my grandparents from their ship's manifests) Your pictures, illustrations and narration are compelling, engaging and illustrative of so much- Wonderfully researched and annotated also. New Subscriber here and Thank You. Nicely Done. PS-I currently work on by the side of the Williamsburg Bridge on Dewitt Street...I used to work on the corner of Delancey and Essex, and drove NYC Transit buses throughout the Bronx and Manhattan as a young adult. My mom and my wife both used the same foundation store -forty years apart. Thank you for mentioning MY people, African Americans, and the horrors they too, like all immigrants, faced. Again, Nicely Done!

  3001. Well pull up a chair !!! My dad RIP was from the slums of London living in Mile end and cannon Town, he told me story's of moth bitten hand me Downs, walking miles to Hackney Marsh's to his nans to lend a 1p! And my nan stuffed mattress with straw as a job. Hopping school getting a lift with his brothers to Sittingbourne in Kent to pick hops to earn money for the family. Watching the battle of Britain up high in Kent with the planes of both nations crashing to the ground, And being shot at, with the German planes stooping low to shoot all who were on the ground. And as my uncle Billy RIP said to me "People today think they got it hard, wait until you get bombed 30 days & 30 nights and wake up to nothing "

  3009. Thank you sir for wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s there are two major classes of hotels in victorian times ; those for gently and thouse known as family hotels . Homelessness there were “ lodging houses or ( doses house ) where homeless people could sleep. In houses shifts . Terrible unhygienic conditions including heat , rats , shared beds ( dirty , unhygienic bedding) 2500 lodging houses catering for 8, 000 people. The difference between hotel and lodge is lodges are typically smaller, more intimate establishments that provides basic amenities such as beds , bathrooms and sometimes kitchenette. Hotel on other hand tend to be larger in scale with more luxurious amenities such as swimming pools , spas , restaurants or bars . There are two types of lodging lodging accommodations fall into three distinct categories hotels , vacation rentals or outdoor lodging.

  3022. My Grand mother was born to the slums of Dublin in the 1890s. There are photographs of her in the 1950s smiling happily with my mother who was very young at the time. She was a very short woman in stature, her growth stunted by her bow legs which i can only surmise was because of a lack of Vitamin D. What her early life would have been like living in the slums of Dublin can only be guessed upon. Surely, i thought, she as a young girl saw the light of day somewhere within the city.surely her existence was not that of being imprisoned within the dark dank walls of a narrow lane, or basement? surely she could walk in the healthy light of day and be free of what ever perpetual darkness that prevailed in her lodgings? Then is am informed by your series of documentaries of what it really was like to be poor within the British Isles in such times,and now i understand, that between the perpetual darkness of the slums, and the laws of the time that prevented the poor from resting too long in one place in fear of being seen as a vagrant.. I understand now her condition. Happily, she did not die in those slums, but lived to move to a new council house in the suburbs in the 1940s. Keep up the wonderful work you do, bringing to light the hardships of our ancestors so that we all might know a little of where we are comming from, and pray never to return!!

  3027. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Actually begging is considered crime in Arabic countries and beggars will put in jail if police men see them anywhere. Yes some people pretend they are so poor to make persons give them money or steal money till nowadays. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s begging ( also known as panhandling) is practice of imploring others to grant favor , often gift of money with little or no exceptions. Person doing this called beggar or panhandler. Begging operate in public places such as streets, markets , parks . Beside money they may also ask for food , drinks , cigarettes or other small items.

  3030. Last part of my restaurant dinner was popular in Paris . Since time or French Revolution, had reached British shores by 1880s . Gentlemen dinning away from homes at clubs , men from middle class and working class at oyster shops , or food stands along streets. Custom of dinning out by 1890s . Both ladies and gentlemen have chance to leave homes setting in restaurants with high class people. Rosa Lewis became first freelance cook for anyone could afford her services . Rosa Lewis saved money with hours of works without wink of sleep . She bought cavendish hotel . She earned fortune for satisfaction of highest class persons privacy and excellent food . She made private dinning rooms , where swells could bring lady friends, permanent suites , exotic dishes. There are extravagant dishes . She also invented delicious quail pudding for king Edward. Food at Edwardian era there are breakfast and dinner, ladies added afternoon tea , another tea within hot muffin’s, toast , beef or fruit cream . Typical English breakfast at that time consisting of kidney, tongue , chicken, woodblock. Luncheon included lamb , pigeon, pudding, cheese , biscuits, jellies, fruit , supper great sample of dishes . Guests sitting down for ten to fifteen course meals was quiet normal . Honestly till nowadays some people have extravagant food restaurants meals . Definitely home food is more healthy. Happy new year merry Christmas.good luck to you your dearest ones .

  3031. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all person who created prison as place of punishment and personal reform by English jurist and philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Female prison dame phylum’s frost center is front end maximum security prison for woman . It’s only one of two female prisons in state of Victoria goal, one or earliest buildings erected by British 1841 , had been first and only prison until 1937 .Elizabeth fry ( 1780 - 1840 ) she was English prison reformer , social reformer, philanthropist and Quaker. She was major driving force behind registration to improve treatment of prisoners, especially female in mates , such has been called ( angle of prison ) . She was instrumental in 1823goals act which man dated sex segregation of prisons and female warders for female inmates to protect them fr sexual exploitation. She kept extensive diaries , in which she wrote explicitly of need to protect female prisoners from rape and sexual exploitation. She is also helped to improve British hospital system and treatment to insane . She is also chief promoters of prison reform in Europe. Honestly she deserves honor as I read even in Johannesburg North Africa road named Elizabeth fry street, in USA road is named for fry in North Carolina. In Yorkshire Elizabeth fry ward scar borough general hospital. Really she is inspiring great woman. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  3035. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s workhouses were for poor people who had no job or home lived they earned their keep by doing jobs in workhouse also workhouses were for orphaned ( children without parents) or abanded children physically mentally sick disabled elderly and unmarried women . Food given to poor Victorians in workhouses potatoes, vegetables, pickled pork , bacon with vegetables meat rice or suet . Children in workhouses who survived first years of infancy may have seen sent out to schools run by poor law union. In 1948 national assistance act abolished last vestige of poor law and with it workhouses and workhouses buildings were converted into retirement ones run by local authorities

  3041. Last part of my research demographic mapping in Edinburgh in 1779 . Eminent member of Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and brother in law to lord advocate, dr George William bell had published two powerfully pamphlets revealing overcrowded conditions of city wynds ( alleys) 1849 and black frier 1850 . His work which made direct correlation between filthy housing conditions, excessived drinking , prostitution, wife beating, left doubt as to seriousness of problems , no tangible change. Towns of Edinburgh now ( jointly) world heritage sites. Describing by UNESCO as harmonious of two contrasting historic areas . Citizens of 19 th century black frail Wynd, rod rick Wynd would recognise contrast but doubtful if they ever saw any harmony between old and new.

  3044. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary sir . I just read right now about Ted boys were British youth subculture of early 1950s to mid 1960s who were interested in rock and roll , music . Ted boys or teds named for their long jackets with velvet collars , which marked back to style worn during king Edward v11 ( 1901 - 1910 ) . Teddy boys rebelling against world of rationing restrictions. Unfortunately Ted boys have aggressive, destructive behavior. They were associated with gang , violence. They have knuckle dusters and razor blades were purportedly deployed as weapons. As I read victorian era have long period lasting 67 years, while Edward era was very short lasting only 9 years ( 1901 - 1910 ) . Victorian era was very miserable period for people including poverty, infectious diseases. Edwardian era have social change in society ( golden age ) , luxurious parties, sun never set on British empire. Honestly bad boys are spread worldwide , due to several reasons including spoiling children, or giving kids freedom without censorship. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  3046. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of workhouse it’s place where very poor people, known as paupers, could go to live . Once they entered workhouse, people had to wear uniform and were given very basic diet . Main food they were given was called stir about, which similar to weak pat meal porridge. Families were spilt up once inside . They began in England and Wales during 17 th century . Beginning of workhouse go back to poor act of 1833 . Was designed to help to solve shortage of work after Black Death . After the state begin responsible for welfare of poor . After napoleonic wars was not lot of unemployment caused by machine taking over work from farm workers. Workhouse by using free labor of people. Most of them did not have skills get normal jobs , so that workhouse jobs included breaking rocks into small stones, breaking bones to make fertilizer, or pulling apart old ropes to reuse fibers

  3047. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel about victorian era and situation of people especially working people and low class . I read article date on 2018 by Richard jones , clementina black ( 1853- 1922) she was victorian writer , feminist, devoted trade unionist , who worked tirelessly for women rights at work and for women suffrage. One of cases she championed throughout mid 1890 . Was plight of women home workers at east end of London , women there work at factories paid bare minimum. One of common trade that work matchboxes making at home is dying one , but alas still there are hundreds of women and children engaged in this occupation. In slums they were living there so poor , unsanitary she asked them to show her their work , answer questions fully civilly , thousands of matchboxes pass unmade , every week to little streets . From six o’clock till midnight married women with children. It’s real life of poor people everywhere in the world not only victorian era . Merry Christmas happy new year in advance. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  3072.  @FactFeast  I love social history. People were so poor back then but tried to make the best of it by keeping up standards. l forgot to mention the knocker-up man that used to rap on people's windows to wake up the husbands to go to work every morning. Also, the coalman that used to deliver once a week and the Jewish door 2 door salesmen selling their goods.

  3087. My ancestors lived, worked and grew up in Bermondsey from at least the early 19th century until they moved out to Plumstead in 1870. I am sure it was no better on the south side of the river. My great grandfather came from a family of Watermen and he married into a family of Leather Workers. He then bettered himself and became a Corn Meter, hence the move to Plumstead.

  3108. One wonders how London's poor in tenement houses ever survived this 'dreadful' unlit and badly-nourished epoch in English history. One's only criticism ---there is too much 'doom and gloom' about the portraiture of the Victorian poor---the same could be said about Glasgow, Paris and New York---some of the poorest cities in the late19th century. But there was also the Music Halls, cheerful songs and street musicians---it wasn't all 'abject poverty and depravity'!!!

  3109. My goodness the way you can do each different accent of the people of Britain, compete with perfect inflection. Why do you not have more sub, sir? you are.incredible!

  3119. Thank you Fact Feast. It should be said of Victorian Britain that everyone, irrelevant of social class, dreaded poverty and its terrible consequences. People employed whatever privileges, abilities and ingenious notions came to them as individuals through fate to escape it. The wealthy stored their wealth, protecting it from fear of destitution and critics shamed them for that. Moral gaslighting, shaming what some people deem the rewards of labour, others 'privilege', has ever been the method of both political activists and the envious and both want to either possess or destroy what they don't own. However, as a basic human need irrespective of politics, all humanity had to enjoy some moment of relief, sometime great or small free from the dread of poverty, by spending on a luxury... albeit just a bag of sweets or a bottle of gin. Humanity cannot bear much reality (T.S. Elliot), especially the realities of Victorian London.

  3120. Yayyy a new video. Ty you made my day.
    5
  3121. Thank you. I’d suggest everyone read the comments. I learned a lot from them. I had no idea such abject and complete poverty continued past WW2, at the absolute latest. I would have guessed the outbreak of WW1 at the extreme latest. I’m always thoroughly grateful to live in a time and a country where I can survive. I’m granted a disability pension, I get vastly subsidised and sometimes free medicines, I’m in very affordable government housing. However I know that even here in Australia I’m very much one of the lucky ones. Back in those times, well, firstly I wouldn’t be here(cancer survivor, free public health care for operations, chemo, and radiation). Even without the cancer I would have died young because I’ve got various health problems. But if I were alive back then, and that poor, I wouldn’t stay law abiding, particularly if I had kids! I think I’d have no moral courage, no ability or wish to “die before dishonour”.

  3135. As always, beautifully researched, narrated and illustrated. Fact Feast providing the most illuminating and valuable insight into 19th. century lifestyles and philosophy. Loved the satyrical prints and the photographs. In this age preceding the evolution of tax funded social services, amongst the lower classes public attitudes towards the armed forces and empire were far more fatalistically pragmatic and tongue in cheek, than most people can now imagine. At least you had a roof over your head and were provided for... until you became expendable.

  3165. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I learn new idioms and new information with every new video you posting. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s sweat shops are factories were named sweatshops because employees, mainly women, children, worked long hours for low pay in terrible conditions that caused to sweat as they worked. Sweater used as early as 1850 to describe employer who exacted monotonous work for every low wages . Sweating became widespread in 1880 s , when immigrants from eastern and Southern Europe provided influx of cheap labour in USA and Central Europe. Sweatshops strat in America ( 1880- 1940) as tenement sweatshops.

  3166. I''ve been to Skagway. Got there on the Alaska ferry form my home town. Slept on deck in those lounging chairs that are next to pools. I went to a Vaudevillian type performance. Women in American frontier costumes being rather bawdy. I don't remember all the Soapy Smith stuff. Interesting little town. Drove back to Bellingham through the Yukon and BC. It was 1999 and I was 15.

  3167. I watched this whole video because I was drawn in by his voice, reminds me of Patrick Stuart when voicing professor Bullock on American Dad. Keep these coming great education

There is one That they do not mention is the old Elephant and castle they say the last two north bound train on the Bakerloo line you can feel the Spirits and hear the odd scream of the Victims of the plague as i Child my friends Nan lived not that far and we were told off from playing in the park round there as where . Nan lived there was an old part of the old Victorian Church across the Square When I Did some research in to it Years later it A part of the Park Was an old Burial Ground with the old church for the Victims of the Plague ..

  3172. The last and most important part of my research the men jobs are leech collectors, pure finder tosher, mud lark , rat catcher , resurrectionists ,match stick makers , chimney sweep. Fifty seven of every victorian London during years ( 1837 - 1901) many people lost jobs or suffering with low wages the death rate was high and terrible working conditions in pollutied atmosphere has disastrous effect especially on children death . Pollution of air and water developed rivers became polluted with industrial and mining wastes . Victorian miners paid workers low wages 15 shilling a week and women seven shilling and kids three shilling in 1773 master chimney sweeps regularly from two to 20 children for master sweeps paid 3- 4 pounds by government workers were not given protection while operating machinery stay safe blessed Thank you again for giving us chance to read learn new information best wishes for you your family friends

  3174. What hope is there in such a land of hopelessness, what dreams within the nightmare. To escape the evil across the sea, only to find evil as great or greater at the end of the voyage, it burns the Soul and make hard men and hard women and dangerous children. What graves await the discarded, six by two by six, without light or air, just as in life. What mercy does death provide? No rent and no sharing of space. What justice awaits the Landlord when his own rent come due? Only God can say. And yet, for those who survive, those who struggle and gamble with their lives, freedom and perhaps fortune, lies just beyond alleyway, across the traveled bridge and into the promised land.

  3209. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . I just read differences between victorian and Edwardian era . Victorian era it’s really miserable period for both poor and wealthy people in every aspect, while Edwardian era called ( golden age ) where the social change, health improve, time of peace , prosperity it’s started of First World War in 1914 Edward v11 during early reign of king George v. I learned about Rosa Lewis ( 1867- 1925) she was English cook , owner of cavendish hotel in London located at jermyn street. She is known as queen of cooks , prized by king Edward v11 and , known too as duchess of jermyn street . As I read Rosa Lewis

  3210. Last part of my research first training ships were established by navy : these were for good boys often from wealthy families, then were reformatory ships for boy who had been convicted of crime . These boys had usually offended more than once , were aged about 12 to 16 years old and sent to board for up to five years. Next were industrial training ships , these boys had been before magistrate but not convicted of crime . Often younger than reformatory boys , they might have been sent on board for sleeping rough , having no means of support of living in house of ill repute. Final type of ship was training ship . These ships were for boys , but those of good characters they had not committed before magistrate and of ten were orphans whose father had been sailor . Reformatory and industrial ships were usually big old wooden of warships. Ship building improved and moved to steam power , many of these old ships were lying unused in docks and so were reused as training ships . Ships were moored in one place and generally did not move . Although Southampton at hull moved into dock for winter . Boys followed busy time table which included every day six hours of industrial training and three hours of education . All ships gave boys lessons in basic writing, reading, arithmetic. More advanced boys could learn geography, history, religious instruction. Was also important with prayer everyday and many of ships allowed boys to attend church on Sundays . Industrial training ship was main focus of learning . Boys were taught skills all sailors would need such as knotting net and sailors repairing, towing , furling sail . Most of ships had smaller vessel so boys could have practical experience of handling boat . There were three reformatory ships and ten industrial training ships in untied kingdom. If boy was committed to reformatory ship he had to first serve time in prison usually14 days. In year 1899 initial Gaol term was abolished and boys could be sent directly to reformatory ship . Boys would be sent striaght to industrial training ship . Although they might got to workhouse first while arrangement were made to transform them . Merry Christmas happy new year in advance. Best wishes for you your dearest ones . I hope you like my research.

  3215. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel we appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of slum is part of city or town where poor people live they may not have basic needs some of these people may also have social disadvantage there are slums in most big cities of the world and slum kids due to poor living conditions infants morality was very high in slums about 1 in 4 children died before they were one year old slum children had to work to help provide for their families jobs were often low paying highly dangerous dirty young boys may work as chimney sweeps or clean streets of horse manure and the important fact victorian children worked for long tiring hours at factories doing hazardous jobs especially boys around eleven or twelve years were clean chimneys Stay safe and blessed good luck to you your family friends

  3238. The production level on this channel is superb. I remained engaged throughout the documentary, never drifting. I was going to ask about the narration; however, the source was credited.  Markmanningmedia, executed the narration without a hiccup. And from what I heard, the narrators sound like masters of their craft. Thank you so much! I've subbed, rung the bell, and shared your channel with a friend who'll appreciate it. If it were within my means, I promise you,   the super like icon would've been clicked. :)

  3244. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel . As always I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s children literature have many orphans stories particularly victorian era cherished developing orphans story canon with as Charles Dickens such as hans Christian Andersen fairy tale ( little match girl ) . Many children of victorian era lived in workhouses because their parents had died or no one looked after them. Victorian parents were not known for showing affection. They believed even minimal amount of affection would spoil kids . Charles Dickens wrote book Charles Dickens and street children of London. He mentioned babies being dropped by mothers too poor to care for them and stunning lack of compassion from upper class . Charles Dickens realized that member of low class were no different from he , even worse they were given no chance to better themselves. Really victorian era is miserable history especially for poor people. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  3250. Last and most important part of my research children prisoners in Victorian time in year 1845 eight years old was brought to trail . His name is thomas Miller and he had been caught stealing boxes for this crime , the boy was sentenced to one month in jail and he was whipped. Though number of criminals in jail more then 10 rises steeply. Curse of poverty, it was poverty , filth , squalour that drove many to crimes . Unfairness of trials for examples possession 7 scarfs- 2 months jailed, possession of half sovereign- one month jailed, simple latency- one day imprisonment and whipping, rouge and vagabond- 2 months, larceny- one month imprisonment and whipping. It’s breaks heart but proverb at same time . Yes poverty and lack of education both are fatal dangers too . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Good luck to you your dearest ones .

  3272. I think some of the details might have been changed in the book, I'm fairly sure it was "The Vine" at 31 Mile End Road which is the far end of Whitechapel from London. As can be seen here, it certainly stood in the middle of the road although it may have already been there as far back as 1625. It was demolished in 1903. https://pubwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/MileEnd/VineTavern.shtml

  3275. Why did school not teach me about Octavia Hill. A wonderful, kind visionary who's standards should still be relevant in this day and age but sadly are not. This lady did so much and her work should still be carried on today. For many today life has gone down the pan, we need someone like her to bring it back. Thank you for making me aware of this awesome lady.

  3295. Of course I like to see photographs if possible but for me, pencil sketches such as @2:15 convey more sense of life and movement and seem more real. The two women at the front shrieking and barneying couldn't have been photographed doing that with the photographic equipment at that time. Every time I watch one of your productions, I'm more and more impressed by your research and hard though creative work. As always, kudos and many thanks, you not only bring the past alive, you take us there.

  3304. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s there were participants in boomers movement. These participants were white settlers in 1880s who called (unassigned lands) within Indian territories were public property and open to anyone for settlement, not just Indian tribes in 1889 as many as 50 thousands settlers poured into Oklahoma hoping to share claim to portion or nearly two million acres opened for settlement by USA government, many had campaigned federal government to open land for, settlements were known as boomers. Land run 1889 began legal opening of federally held land for white settlement quickly led to creation of Oklahoma territory under organic act of 1890 and , ultimately to formate of forty sixth state of union . Oklahoma land rush of 1889 was first land run to unassigned lands of for American Indian territory, which had earlier been assigned to creek and Seminole people. That was opened to settlement included all parts of Canada, Cleveland, kingfisher, Logan , Oklahoma, Payne counties of present day USA state of Oklahoma. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well.

  3307. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s rats were everywhere in Victorian London catching them was big business they would be sold to publicans who operated rat pits where they would make rats and dogs fight. Rats catchers wages ranged from two shillings to one pound and Queen Victoria is deathly afraid of rats on her birthday is ruined when rats overrun cake she freak out her uncle duck of Cumberland and sir John conroy plot to use hysterics as way of declaring queen insane and installing legacy.

  3342.  @FactFeast  When i think back now it's like i am looking at something from another century,.......but we moved to a newly built highrise flat in 75 and it was like stepping into the future, no rats and a inside toilet, but it is amazing to think it took them another 8 years before they had demolished all these slums, right up until the early 1980s the slums were still there. Lol

  3352. I got this book out of the library as a teenager, and have reread it many times in the years since. I credit it with starting my lifelong socialism. It is so readable, funny in places and yet does not romanticise the poor in the way some did in this era. I so wish they had named the people in it (I realise why they could not at the time, of course) because with the release of the 1921 census this year it would have been possible to trace what happened to them. Sadly many of the young men described would have gone on the fight in the First World War. I wonder if the Fabian Society still has records?

  3368. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Iam learning new information and new vocabularies with every video you are posting. As I read victorian era saw steady stream of street sellers cry out their where’s up and down country, coster mongers , coffee seller , muffin man , baked potato sellers . Al jostled each other for space and customers on street. Street vendor is hawker means type of street vendor , person who travel from place to place selling goods , synonyms huckster, peddler , Chapman or , in Britain costermonger . Hawker is person who offers goods for sale in market, news paper hawker . Vendor is person who sells things that are often prepared at home by their families, who purchase , clean sort and make them ready to sell , those who sell food or snacks on street, prepare most of them at home . Huckster or hawker is person who sells small articles, either door to door or from stall or small store like peddler or hawker. This term probably derives from Middle English huccumens to haggle . Was use circa 1200 as huccsteress . We have too vendors , hucksters. We too have weekly market just like you it’s Saturday market where groups of sellers divided into groups . Flea market sellers sell vintage things second hand items . I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  3370. Thank you so much for this information and for the nice narration which makes it more enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Although it is heart-wrenching to understand what these people endure. What was deemed acceptable is unbelievably unacceptable. It makes you thankful for what you have and makes you worry about what you have to look forward to in the years to come. In those times they were prepared to live in that way we are relying upon electricity and upon other means of heating and so on. I can't imagine having to share the same stairwell that leads right into your living quarters which is your living room bedroom kitchen and everything else with some neighbor walking in and out of your residence all crammed into one damp dank place without indoor plumbing. Unbelievable. Now I can only imagine the upheaval and the wave in which people would behave if all of our modern conveniences suddenly shut off. Oh, what chaos would ensue!😱☠A fan from the United States of America.

  3371. Great photographs. I think I would have preferred the travelling life to the lives of many families who had to endure cramped and unsanitory living conditions in industrialised cities, working in deplorable conditions just to pay the rent. I'm not suggesting it would've been easy but at least they had fresh air and could move around to where there was work. 👍

  3375. How sad that the poor where treated so unspeakably horrid! We often romanticise about “the olden days” I’m grateful I wasn’t living in those times, with no welfare system yet to be put in place and no real support anywhere, it’s eye opening! I think I would have tried my hardest to work, but sheer exhaustion would have drove me mad. We don’t know how lucky we are these days, I know people go without in the U.K. today I’m not silly… but, not to the extent those poor souls did. Heartbreaking. Thank you 🙏🏻 Love your channel

  3389. Last part of my research some days better than others he made ten shillings as records day his wife was in labor he worked for ten hours straight earned one shilling three pence many times he started work without having breakfast he didn’t eat until he earned enough money to buy food he made his trade even harder were time clowns emerged high paying holidays and at fair making money away from those who relied on clowning for living part times then went back to their trades leaving thin pickings for full time some of clown jokes horse has two forelegs and two hind legs total of ten. Why is city of Rome like candle because it’s in middle of Greece . Street clowns costumes consisted of red striped stocking full trunks dotted red block. Tight top with full sleeves and frill he wore wig sewn into white cap painted his face with grease coloring his lips and. Cheeks with.vermilion and he declined to change at home as he strove to keep his trade secret from his neighbors poor follow told mayhew how playing fool made him very sad at heart only had to think of bare cupboard at home to carryon but as mayhew goes on to write he spotted clown dressed up to perform dancing and. Singing in street as if he was. Lightest hearted follow such misery Stay safe and blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  3399. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for meaning of tenement buildings were constructed with cheap materials, had little or no indoor plumbing and lacked proper ventilation. Murder bay ( known as hooker division) were disreputable slum in Washington d. C , roughly bounded by constitution avenue n w , Pennsylvania Avenue nw , 13 th , 14 th , Street nw . The area was center of crime through 20 th century with extensive criminal underclass and prostitution , occurring several brothels and hotels in area . The area was completely rebuilt during construction of federal triangle project in late 1920s and 1930s . Best wishes for you your family friends. Merry Christmas happy new year in advance.

  3406. Happy new year .thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s. First of all I looked up for meaning sleep rough to sleep out side at night , usually because one has no home or shelter. Many persons sleep rough especially uk and Australia . I read article date back in 2015 . Geoffrey museum called homes of homeless, museum dedicated to charting development of home is statement isn’t itself . Poor souls spent their au moving from parks to churchyards or sleeping by air vents for warmth or under arches to get some shelter. Sleeping on streets , where homeless shelters, by 1994 Salvation Armytan nine night shelter for example ( some slept in some very basic boxed in wooden beds which laid outlines) . Homelessness in Britain hasn’t been eradicated. Nowadays railway stations that some detective londoners today call home . Best wishes for you your loved ones.

  3415. You're acting is so wonderful! Once again, many of these children were sent to work as child labour on Canadian farms. Unfortunately, Canadian sociefy then had disdain for these children and treater them terribly. My Great Grandfather was one of them.

  3480. I'm so glad I was born when I was. And that we have a bit of money, not rich. But least my kids were well fed and dressed. So hard for people. Then . Just trying to keep clean must have been so hard. Thankfully we have modern things....washing machines. Fridges. Heating light. Etc

  3510. Praetorian Guard Officer: ‘My lord, do you think it wise to provoke the mob again in the arena today? They don’t appear to be responding well to all the triumphant displays and are beginning to suspect your victories in combat to be little more than predetermined outcomes tied to imperial corruption, frivolity, and indifference to the suffering of ordinary Roman citizens... Worse still, there are rumors throughout the city that you personally ordered the death of your sister...’ Commodus: [ties cape of lion fur to fully naked body] Bullocks m8!

  3560. I'm a history teacher but not a very sentimental type of man; however, I have a daughter who lives with her mother (we're not together), and after listening to this I felt compelled to text her "I miss you." Just to remind her that she is wanted and loved.

  3573. This is just what I love to watch, with all due respect to those involved, before, and even during; my shift pumping gas/petrol ⛽ at Wawa in New Jersey. No matter how lousy the customers are or annoying the company itself can be, these history lessons remind me just how good I've got it compared to those of the past. Even today many have miserable lives, but nothing can compare.. NOTHING.

  3588. Dear Fact Feast- your channel is one of quality and excellence! SO glad to be a recent sub! Just want to turn you in to another couple of channels I think you'd like ,they deal more with mysteries,crimes and murder cases that are around your same eras and genre.They are truly wonderful too,perhaps you enjoy contacting them and might do a Collab one day! They are "Brief Case" ,"The Crime Reel" and another most excellent bio channel done by a brilliant young man that is superb (with people if bygone similar eras! ) Called "Forgotten Lives"...please enjoy,and I hope you agree! Much Love!

  3593. Back in the 1840's and 50's my great great great grandad was a stable lad at Cumberland lodge where Prince Albert kept his horses, he became head stable man and when he left it is recorded that he got a pension. I am sure the work was hard, but he was one of the lucky ones in terms of the poverty people lived in then. I wonder at the things he saw and lived through.

  3618. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . Honestly street children is real misery , exits till nowadays everywhere in the world but , very rare in Arabic countries. There are hindered of children lived on street of New York turned out of their homes or separated from their loved ones. Many didn’t have loving families, but living conditions in tenement were so squalid that some chose to sleep on streets. City tenements were poorly lit , cramped, ventilated, usually without indoor pluming, tenements were worked of vermin and disease. Buildings still populated out blocks in various state of prep air are still homes for thousand of New Yorkers . Tenement museum is powerful pub is history example of influences and impact of New York tenement housing.

  3643. One of the things that was so terrible in Victorian England is that parents had to pay to get their son an apprenticeship or a trainee job in an office. Thus, it was very hard for poor people to advance socially. Many middle class and rich people had many orphans and relatives of limited means to educate and take of. The only real solution was to send them to the United States, Canada, Australia or one of the colonies. It would have helped if landowners had been forced to sell some of their rental properties to invest in business in the UK. Reading Victorian novels, such as those by Mrs. Henry Wood depict a very tenuous economy for nearly everyone, including the middle class and some of the upper class who saw agricultural profits diminish and found themselves involved in more speculative activities to maintain their estates and have dowries and money to educate their sons and fatherless relatives.

  3647. I lived very close to Bow Bridge in 1950 and had a canal at the back of the garden. Do you know why it was always called a cut and not a canal ?. Very good narration.
    4
  3648. These amazing episodes are very gripping, but THIS one is by far the most telling of the plight of the children, many becoming "home children" sent to Canada (where I'm from). It breaks my heart, their suffering in London, only to be treated with even worse cruelty, isolation and suffering, once in Canada.

  3687. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Actually we too in Arabic countries especially gulf area such as my homeland Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, uae . Till 1940s suffered from lack of knowledge, no modern medicine only herbs , midwives, worked as farmers , fishermen have very high percentage of deaths . Many women died in labor . Small pox was pandemic my mother told they began to vaccinate kids not all have vaccines my sister , cousin have smallpox have scars on their faces till nowadays. No educational institutes only learn Arabic letters and reading holy Quran . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for meanings of destination means poverty, indigene, penury. It is state it one with insufficient resources.

  3688. I was born in Whitechapel ☺️

  3689. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. First of all I looked up for definition of boarding house is that private house that person pays to stay in and receive meals ( frequently family homes ) , lodgers rent one or more rooms on nightly basis and sometimes for extended periods of weeks , months , years . Boarding houses were common in most USA cities throughout 19 th century until 1950s . The disadvantages of living in boarding houses lower part of hierarchy have worst physical standards, least safe social environment, poorest management to practice. Apartment you will have own bathroom, kitchen. In boarding houses you have room , you will have to share bathroom with other residents. People who live in boarding houses known as boarders , lodgers . Boarding houses now are illegal in USA , but still exist illicit underground manner . In late 1880s boarding houses in New York City were commonly found with two to four people sharing room . In addition to bed and meals , they differed from other types of lodging in that they generally catered to specific populations or demographic.

  3690. I was born in North Shields and grew up nearby in Howdon. I lived in Wallsend until I was three. It is fascinating to hear about these child criminals of the past from the area of my birth.

  3692. So humbling watching your videos and like so many have already mentioned your voice and pace draws you even closer to the plight of those poor lost souls, thank you.

  3693. How would I do that? I would completely avoid such areas.

  3694. How are you doing sir first of all we offer our deepest condolences to royal family and all British citizens because of sad occasions of death of queen Elizabeth and as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s rich and poor Victorians are quiet different rich children would eaten very well with lot of choices for poor children would have been fewer options. Rich people their food cooked by servants served with family in dinning rooms and breakfast tended to be large meal and would have ham , egg , bacon afternoon tea . Big difference between rich and poor in Victorian times rich people had lot of treats , fancy clothes even telephones when they were invented and poor people had to work hard in factories, workhouses eat Broxy ( diseased sheep ) and rich people eat fruits , vegetables, whole grains chicken pudding caribou layered ice cream bombe American diet first half of 20 th century and Mediterranean diet .victorian aristocrats eat seven course menu followed by soup light salad dessert or fruit. Upper class Victorians have afternoon tea with light meal between lunch at noon supper at 8 pm included sweet treats as cookies candies cakes as well sandwiches fruit , nuts .

  3697. Until the age of four we lived in a tenement in Glasgow, the not so good side and there was no bathroom, just a big sink under the window that my father put in. The WC was in the hallway and shared by all. Out the back was a walled yard with a wash house that no one used, it was infested with rats. To the back of that was a narrow alley between the yard and the factory that loomed over us. During storms we all had to stay in because sheets of corrugated iron would fly off the factory and one woman lost her baby when a chimney fell onto the pram. A few years ago I googled it and it still exists but 'gentrified' and the factory has gone of course. We moved further north to my mum's village and at one point we lived in a wooden hut with again no bathroom and the toilet was a shed with a pail. We heated up water on the old range to defrost the outside water pump in winter and slept on old army beds and lived by candle light as we had no electricity. As an 8 year old it was fun but my mother saw this as shameful. We eventually were given a council house as that had been my mothers strategy all along. The council house was amazing for us although it was in a terrible condition. Age 9 I cleared the garden and found a dead horse remains in the long grass. Today I live in a huge mansion in south west France but the 'North Remembers'.

  3699. My Great Great Grandmother lived in a "Mews" - a horse stable, in North Kensington. It wasn't as bad as Whitechapel, for example, but it was pretty bad. No heating, no lighting, the only air coming from the door, and on top of that she was pregnant!

  3711. I have a hard time reading cos my eyes are failing and time restrictions. That said I love these Historical journals of life, in the Victorian era and the dawn of the Industrial Age. These accounts give me a great perspective of our modern times. And gratitude, just the same. All of life is good I believe, we share the fruits of the labor of our ancestors. These Men and Women were tough as nails. For now on I will appreciate the glass bottle of my Coca Cola and the jars we save to drink from. I think I'm gonna get into antique glass products now? Anyways Thank you thank you thank you! Cheers!

  3712. No country was a stranger to slum housing. You can see pictures of slum tenements in New York City during the late 19th and early 20th century during the great migration of immigrants into the US. These tenements almost make the Lambeth housing appear luxurious in comparison.

I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s regent street is major shopping street in west end of london . It’s named after George prince ( later George v1) laid out under direction of architect John Nash and james burton . Regent street is one of world most prestigious lifestyle destination , famous for flagship stores and international brands . It’s London distinctive home of fashion , dinning , wellness. It’s really strange next to this luxurious place slums where miserable poor people were living. Slums main features drunkenness, lawlessness, immortality, crimes .

  3742. I haven't watched this yet, and I know that I'll find it very interesting. In the past, I've thought that I would have found it fascinating to be in this sort of environment, maybe running errands for the 'lady of the house/bar'. Of course, that's romanticising the idea, and I suspect that the reality would be a daily struggle.

  3781. I've given a thumbs-up. Good work well presented. Amazing collection of images. The film segment with the clown battling the (sometimes human) "dummy" is very entertaining. Some of the transitions are pretty seamless, like when the clown puts the dummy's head back on: It's hard to see the switch back to the performer. Do you know the name of this film, or who made it? Also: How many of these images are actually of Caney himself?--I presume some of the pictures are of other clowns and other people. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

  3800. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s five point in 19 th century was infamous for decades, New York was center of violent crime, unemployment, gambling, infectious diseases, filth . Between years 1845 and 1852 milion Irish emigrated, followed by further two million by end of century. In 19 th century one in four people in New York was Irish. Irish made up largest immigrant group at the time. People also emigrated to USA from Germany especially in 1848 Revolution, or from China . Former slaves from southern states too , five points is largest slum in New York City was most violent, poor district, unhealthy part of New York City . There are also racial hierarchy they arrived by coffin ship to escape famine , or by undergo railroad, which were secret routes used by slaves to escape bondage , blacks and Irish were joined by Chinese and Italian, presided into close proximity. Irish they were determined to make ghetto. They were white in color not in status . Irish Americans and African Americans competed for same low states jobs . They worked as ditch diggers or , street pavers , Cartmen , coal carriers . They were labeled alcoholic, violent , ignorant and lazy .

  3811. Oh, I never knew Jack London had written anything of that sort! I've read "Call of the Wild" ages ago, but this here is so much more interesting. He immortalized the cruelty and inhumanity of the system at that time! He gave those poor starving people a voice.

  3822. This was before contraception so population explosion. I wouldn't have had the choice to only have one child and be financially stable by 44. Women wouldn't have the choice to choose to leave unfaithful husband's either. I've heard the expression going for a kip by older sailors before. There is a poor house still exists in my town beside the grammar school. No longer a poor house I've looked through the bars at the gate and said silent prayers,knowing we found an ancient document detailing a great grandparent had been listed as living there. And me the spoilt brat with my well furnished prison as a house alone sometimes feels,plenty of food and don't feel like eating. So many clothes I have to pack bags for charity and yet still I wonder,what makes a person happy. I think my only happiness is giving to those less fortunate,that is a lovely blessing especially having been short a few times and seeing videos like this.funny how humans are the only animal that is never happy.

  3830. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I learned new vocabularies and new information with every video you are posting. Shipping is term used for communication to refer to desire or two characters often romantic relationships with each other. Honestly immigration is common in every countries for several years to seek knowledge, or better job opportunities , political refugees , asylum seeker because of security country situation. Actually and Australia both countries offer excellent opportunities and high standards of living, might be better choice for those who prefer more inclusive immigration policy and Multi cultural environment especially immigration to Canada. Many British expats can earn more money doing same jobs in Australia than they could at home , while minimum wages of each country are comparable, professionals can often secure better money . In reign of queen victoria ( 1837- 1900) marked period of growth change for Sydney, for New South Wales and Australia as whole . With arrival of steam ships and coast to coast trans Canada railway English increasingly sought agricultural opportunities to had in prairie provinces. Many people left England to Canada, most of them orphaned, abandoned, pauper children. ( majority of them are English) were given free passage to Canada .

  3862. How are you doing sir . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s at end of 19 th century Boston had lot to be proud of many considered city modern day Athens, rich with arts , wealth, elegant houses but there was darkest side to victorian Boston , crowded slums , widespread poverty, hunger, shocking highrate of infant mortality. Victorian Boston almost one in ten children died before they were five years old . Hospital was built on ship jk .Boston busting Port town booming industrial city .Boston is city footprint grew dramatically from 1,5 to more 40 square miles, while population increased more than eight fold from 1820-1880.

  3865. Last and most important part of my research the 1870 census found that1 out of 5 of every childern was employed. This rate increased to more than 1 in 5 children by 1900 , between 1890 and 1900 , no less than 18 percent of all children age 10- 15 worked . In year 1938 congress finally passed child labor law ( fair labor standards act or fisa) that would later be upheld by court were enacted to ensure that when young people work , work is safe and doesn’t jeopardize their health and well - being or educational opportunities. These provisions also provide limited exemptions. Regulations employment of these under 16 or 18 years of age . History of child labor in USA often as young as 10 years old and sometimes much younger labored . American children worked not only in industrial settings but also in retail stores , streets, farms , home based industrial. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well. Happy Halloween. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  3870.  @FactFeast  You may enjoy Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, as it's about the Victorian era and a good part revolves around class differences. Some side quests include freeing children from factories and helping Florence Nightengale. The Jack the Ripper DLC is especially good, if you enjoy the main game as well.

  3877. I have no words to describe how upsetting is to hear this video. Living in starvation is the most painful thing, and inhuman as well. I'm from South America and in 1973 Salvador's Allende goverment was overthrown by the ultra right with lots of hel from yhe U.S.. That cost us 17 years of dictarorship, concentration camps, people dissappeared by the thousands and massive starvation. At the time we were middle class and my parents lost their job within 6 months. A minimum salary was establish. They would pay like 100.00 dollars a month but rent was 70 dollar a month leaving families with 30.00 yo use for : utilities, rent. ( if you were not a hone owner), clothe. school uniform for 2 - 10 children in some cases, food, transportation money, plus the basic needs to keep yourself clean. We ate do little than my brother and me didnt grow any more after 12 and 13 years old. Once I have good grades but lack of food affected out learning capacity. Children's brains get affected for ever!. Our dreams and goals got shutter! Later on we we move to Argentina where the economy was better, my father went back ro work in a big company, rented a beautiful house in a beautiful neighboorhood but another coop hit us while living i. this wonderful country.. Once again we had to flee from so much danger. We came to California for 5 years, that was the family treaty but end up here way too long!!. All I can say is that I know what is to go to bed with an empty stomach every day, and not knowing if we are going to have food tomorrow. ..it is painful, in winter when is below zero you have no calories to keep up with such dreadful weather. We went through poverty for 6 years and it was complete hell! I cannot imagene ebduring such precarious situation longer or all your life, like so many people did back in those times. Poverty is a condition not a choice!. As for today The New Order is pushing all of us toward poverty again, they are doing it at a slow pace, so we don't realize...the fact is that we do!!!. Now a days I'm post chemotherapy and trying to recover, can't wait to go back to work and be productive, and feel good about myself. The only one to blame about poverty is the elite, the multimillionaires , the goverments that paid us penuts while they sit on a desk making laws for themselves!. This selfish inhuman behavior happens world wide abd it hasn't stop. Here in San Francisco one of the most visited cities in the world have thousands if not millions nationally of homeless living on the streets, freezing to death, bot enough shelters, not enough drug rehabilitation programs for mental health, extremely expensive rents, and good education is only good for the rich. In San Francisco renting one room is a thousand dollars, renting a studio 2000.00, and an apartament 2400 - 300.00 but people don't make more than 18 hundred..so they are force to live with roommates, stay with the family until they graduate ( assuming some can get a college degree, or vocational training), it is very hard to live from check to check without doing nothing for fun after working 40- 50 and more hours per week. I can't say I enjoyed the video because it was very sad, but very informative.Thanks for sharing.

  3878. One bottle in a drawing had a label with the words "Gin and Rue." Rue was a plant used to flavor liquors from what I've read and it was blue. So, the blue color of the man in the previous story could have been the result of drinking great quantities of Gin at that time and people of that time would understand his blue color came from that I suggest. I thought originally that it was due to a heart condition caused by drinking.

  3880. I have been watching your videos from the beginning and find them very enlightening and historically informative. I can’t help but wonder if a century from now, people will look at videos of todays poverty and how they struggle. Will they feel the same outrage and disgust about today’s society as we (I) feel when I view your videos!? How will they judge us….? Possibly with more contempt? We feel we’re caring for creating food banks and providing shelter and yet I’m sure the Victorians considered they were compassionate because they created the workhouses! Regardless, thank you for the information and education, you’re a 21st century Charles Dickens! Sincerely, Doc

  3906. They must have had a decent coffee house or two besides the ones mentioned. There's a London Coffee House by the bay in Baltimore City. All that remains now are the brick walls and many clay pipes can be found in the surrounding area buried.

  3907. I have my great great grandfather's hand written diary from 1888 when he was hospitalized in new York City with pneumonia. He writes it was extremely lonely and the man next to him died. Yet his experience there was heaven compared to workhouses. And after watching one of these workhouse documentaries last night, my comfortable bed had a whole new meaning. We have no idea how blessed most of our lives are in comparison to what these poor souls endured.

  3922. I really enjoy your channel and have always loved history on all ages I have a book which is called Dore’ ‘s London it’s an illustration book from London a pilgrimage. Originally Dore’ s a french artist came to uk to draw the aristocracy and upper classes but ended up spending his time travelling around the east end and other dwellings of the very poor and and terrible conditions these people had to exist and suffer the drawings are very real and Grim but also magical as it takes you back to these times you probably already know of this art anyway just thought I’d mention this to you keep up the good work as I do enjoy it 🙏

  3923. Numerous late Victorian houses were built in my city as fast as possible to keep up with the demand for people moving here. They had no water or sewage services. These came later, resulting in some roads being a little higher than the houses where the roads had been dug up to run the pipes.

  3927. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel actually victorian era must be major university as always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s working class in Victorian era consisted of unskilled laborers who worked in brutal and unsanitary conditions ( victorian England social hierarchy) they didn’t have access to clean water and food and education for their children or proper clothing factories and workshops were dangerous workers not given protection while operating machinery so many of them suffered from accidents burns disabilities average wage was about 15 shillings a week many children got just 5 shillings a week or less and mason might earn 29 shillings a week and carpenters 25 overall in middle years of 1880s annual wage for workers in England was greater than average wage in Scotland or Ireland working conditions in factories were harsh hours were long typically ten or twelve hours a day working conditions were frequently unsafe led to deadly accidents thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel we have in Arabic countries and Middle East In alternative medicine in past till nowadays job as loathsome leech collectors called cupping since ancient Egyptian and Chinese but with certain tools in the back caused bruising and soreness any way I gathered main points about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s loathsome leech collector or leech finder was person occupied with procuring medical leeches which are in growing demand in 19 th century Europe leeches were used in bloodletting but were not easy for medical practitioners to obtain collector would sometimes gather leeches by attracting them to legs of animals often old horses more common place was for collector to use their own legs gathering leech after it had finished sucking enough blood many persons suffered from effects of loss blood and infections spread by leeches would suck on legs of collector for 20 minutes or more

  3989. I came in just after this time. It was my father's time and he started to get Ricketts although he came from a deprived middle class family. I heard stories of the Edwardian period like the father was given a boiled egg. He would cut off the top and bottom for two of his children and eat the rest. My young life was llived through WWII and food was scarce and rationed. My mother said they went very hungry in the first world war.

  4045.  @FactFeast  well my great great grandpa was born in 1829, and passed in 1916 at the age of 86, grew up near Coveney Cambridgeshire, in a farming community where he remained till 1858 and going to London to work as a Bobby, there he met my grgr grandma Clara who lived with her brother who worked as at the British Museum. After retiring and having 6 kids moved back to Cambridgeshire. Pretty amazing he lived till 86 in that time. Sadly his two sons, one passed at 27 in 1918 WWI as a POW in Brandenburg, Germany and my gr grandpa passed in 1918 at 32 due to Spanish flu in Canada. Sad if one thinks about it.

  4069. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel although it’s really misery very painful memories especially for poor people low class in Victorian age . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here first of all whitechapel district definition it’s area named after early 14th century st Mary matfelon Church popularly known as st Mary whitechapel originally created in 1270 as chapel of East dunstan stepney Church was rebuilt in 1329 . Today whitechapel is very different place buzzy , multicultural creative and Jewish community established by refugees who arrived in 1870 to work in rag trade they moved to suburbans and began have taken their place . This district whitechapel was characteristed by extreme poverty, substandard housing poor sanitation , homelessness, drunkenness and endemically prostitution these factors were focused in institutions of common lodging houses within whitechapel which about 8500 people highly basis .

  4073. You hear "hard labor' but what exactly does that mean? Also why put people in prison that working for a month or 2. Would have been better to do some sort of community work or a diversion program. Funny everyone was charged with theft. You go to a petty court nowadays and it's driving offences. Also their height??

  4085. I am afraid that this may be the way I spend my old age. The world is ugly and cruel and my mental health issues make it more and more difficult for me to function as a valuable member of this society. I try so hard, but it doesn't seem to matter. I am just not worth much to the world. Maybe I am just too stupid and deserve it, but I cant think of a single human being I would punish in that way, stupid, lazy, or bad. The world is not just, and I don't think it will ever change.

  4146. The last account seems so typical of the kind of upper class a**hole that supported temperance or prohibition. Complaining about alcohol being a societal evil, while their own greed is responsible for a great deal of the misery felt by the working class they're complaining about. Great video, you've earned my subscription!

  4161. How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s poor Victorians would put children to work at early age or even turn them out onto streets to fend themselves in 1848 estimated 30, 000 homeless filthy children lived on streets of London. They were around three years old parents could also die at young age so London had many orphans rich and poor the children find orphanage sometimes or had to live on streets or workhouses and workhouses provide food and shelter in return for hard unpleasant work . Victorian children homeless was far from uniform sleep in coffin beds which is wooden boxes when they work just five shilling a week or less . Victorians London so poor because many factors including low wages , growth of cities, lack of stable employment. Age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is ten years old. There are Geoffrey museum show examines varied experience of those who became homeless in capital more than 100 years and William booth homeless men interviewed in 1890 and story of booth Salvation Army hostels will form of major exhibition and they show coffin beds and middle class Victorians grateful for their charity. Homelessness in London during ( 1837 - 1901 ) thank you for your great efforts giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English too as foreigners subscribers as overseas students stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  4165. Both tenants as well as property owners bear responsibility to the condition of the building. I can remember a time when tenants as well as owners would maintain the property. By scrubbing down the sidewalk as well as the stoop. My mom was hired as a janitor. And would maintain the house (hallways) by mopping & sweeping the floors. As well as dusting the banister and walls. My job was to bring out the trashcans from the basement as well as sweeping it down. This was when we lived in Bklyn. I grew up poor as was everyone else that I knew. Although you would never know by there home's. Or in my opinion our clothes.

  4205. I m north africain, and i read a lot of english fantasy books, and very often i don't realise that the fiction, is not only inspired, but depicts faithfully historical facts. I ve read recently, just this week, two retellings of fairytales which described these Cotton factories child labor and also the workhouses' conditions.. One was '' the ugly step sister'', the other title was ' 'half a soul' '. I knew of child labour of course, but not of the 12 hours' 'improvement' ', nor the workhouses.. The same happened to me with the plague doctors: i once read a fantasy book describing their attires and work and didn' t realise till later that the author did not invent it

  4212. I remember living in the condemned tenements in bagor Road ,bonnington road leith Edinburgh 1967-1974 with my teenage parents and 2 brothers ,we had a toilet in the landing dark and terribly smelly, we lived at the top ,our days were spent outside at the park opposite the leith hospital on the main road, we eventually got a new house in and Modern housing scheme, I thought we were rich when we seen the new bathrooms, that's were we went while my parents moved our furniture in .🤹‍♀️🤸🙇🤷‍♀️

  4232. Y'all get this. We think of our food portions in sizes or round about. In fact we only use any measurement for recipes.. They had so little food to go around they measured in ounces. Think if a new born baby drinking 4 ounces of milk every 2 hours at least. Thats the amounts we are discussing For full grown people

  4242. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Actually as I read slums came in many forms . In early 19 th century, as London grew and pressure on house rooms increased. In 1864 parliament was presented with 250 different underground schemes. New committee recommended on second railway deeper . New underground lines had formed circuit around central London and extended out into suburbs by 1880s . World first tunnel under river built by engineer Marc Isambard Brunel . In 1860 s another engineer Peter borrow conceived idea of second subway under river , using brunel principle but with circular shielded . In 1870 railway closed , tunnel is still in use carrying telecommunications cables . In 1880s technological development, electric motors , first deep level electrical way . London Underground is oldest in the world. Merry Christmas happy new year.

  4290. Why all of these videos never have ww1 sounds?
    3
  4291. Yes, that's mudlarking. I believe scavenging was going through piles of rubbish and dirt for items, plus salvageable items that might be repaired and sold. Apparently there was some decent money often made from it though obviously hard graft.

  4292. I was coming back from work driving from raf upper heyford old air base whilist on my hands free phone i heard broken voices on my phone it sounded like someone over a radio giving out coordinate information but they were shouting it out.

  4308. I was born in 1933, during the Great Depression... My childhood.... included life in an Arizona mining town ...then later lived in California..... As a kid, I knew many peculiar and special things that I took as " natural".. Being cold, hot, hungry, seeing meanness, kindness, happyness, awe, thrills, chills, and wonderment all around me was just plain " natural" ... the way the world was and worked. I knew about sudden death from mine accidents, violence; slower deaths from chronic diseaes...and from epidemics like polio, TB, etc... wakes , masses, candles, protecive saints, and funerals were just part of growing up. I later learned about life in other times and places through reading and passing through...including from hearing stories from adults, and from seeing movies. My special vantage points of seeing my world's largely shaped what I became.... happy and old. Muchismas gracias y carinos on this Our Lady of Guadalupe day....

  4350. A really interesting account! Thanks for sharing this and helping to keep this little pocket of history alive.

  4361. 2:05 The value of some of the items in an old Curiosity Shop, especially some old books would be worth a fortune today. It would be fascinating to go back in time, what they sold for pennies then could be worth a lot of money today. A first edition of any book by Charles Dickens might be sold for next to nothing and in near perfect condition, something very rare today.
    3
  4362. I need to see if I can show you some of the pictures of Aberdeen slums throughout the Victorian period, they have a very interesting design including the sharp rising roofs to stop snow building up and rounded corners to stop dangerous crime (didn't work), the various illicit distilleries that you can still see, and the fact that one of the buildings (I believe now gone) used to be a gambling house between one slum lord and Lord Byron who was reported to flee from the police on the beach and tripped on the sand. A few lochs that no longer exist as well that were really just massive sewage pits that certainly didn't help with our outbreak of both plague and cholera.

  4415. Last and most important part of my research main reason is literary. Young maids once employed, would arrive with their boxes , personal mementos. If maid displeased her mistress, her box might will be retained after dismissal to make up deficit from real or imagined thieving. Without box and character written recommendation or reference, it was extremely difficult to find another position. Some servants chose to be prostitution, others still in domestic employment. In 1899 report written national vigilance association, female labour in metropolis, many young girls fell victim agencies falsely luring them in living many from Germany with promise of domestic employment. Only to find themselves forced to work in one of city many brothels , such as mrs harris establishment in great Richfield street, in central london . There were many charitable schemes were launched in London to rescue these girls such as female servants home society was one of many , also female aid society established in 1836 . It’s provided three safe houses . In 1898 prime minister William Gladstone shortly before his death , gathering up fallen women in attempt to save them from degradation and diseases. As last video I learned about Elizabeth fry British prison reformer . Thank you for giving chance to learn new information and improve our English as well . I hope you like my synonyms.

  4434. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . First of all definition of tenement is type of buildings shared by multiple dwellings in flats or apartments. There New York tenement museum, impact New York tenement housing. Tenements buildings still there in various states of repair and still homes of thousands of New Yorkers . During 19 th century immigrant’s really increased , causing New York population to double every decade from 1800 to 1888 . This era was characterized by substantial influx of European immigrants, who brought diverse cultures, languages , traditions to city , shaping identity of melting pot . Caused New York slums immigrants to New York City in late 1800s faced grim , cramped living conditions in tenement housing dominated lower east side . As I read Bohemia is hamlet census designated in suffox county New York. Bohemian New York original home of poets , peasants, Greenwich was refuge for undiscovered artists , free thinkers . Cheap quarters of village allowed these bohemians to escape dreary , industrial world and live pennies, enlightened lifestyle. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information, improve our English as well . Happy new year. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  4453. though i have not commented for ages, i still enjoy and admire your work very much ... the washington worst street one is excellent , too... this one, alas, reminds one of the trashy hostels used by the west-end druggie homeless community of London West-end of the early 21st century...

  4454. Last part of my research boxes were given on Boxing Day , which earned name as day that servants and working people were given these boxes of money. Another change for better were new railway , which allowed people who had moved to towns and cities in search of work to return home for family Christmas. Railway companies offered special cheap rates over Christmas both in national and local press including local Richmond paper . Merry Christmas to British citizens and people around world .

  4456. The conditions are absolutely shocking and to think some people today still live in conditions like those of the 1860’s in some parts of the world. Found this channel today and have binge watched several videos and I must admit I love seeing the old photographs and even the drawings which were taken from newspapers and other publications of the time as they remind me of seeing the drawings in my old history textbooks in school (even recognised a few from my history textbooks when we were learning about the cholera outbreak in Victorian London).

  4463. How are you doing sir thank you for your cultural documentary channel although victorian age was dark age misery especially for poor people low class but deserves reading and do research we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well we hope to have new topics as history of England or famous British figures any away as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually most squalid areas of London most desirable are st rookery as one of most worst slums in Victorian London was in west end close to convent garden , devil acre, frying pan alley , Jacob island bermondsey , Bethnal green , Notting hill potter and piggies. During victorian reign there are numerous slums lurked behind the capital busy through fares hovels were sand whiched in between mile end road and commercial road stephey wretched rookeries lay behind during lane filthy tenants lined west side of borough high street. Slums are often defined by unsafe or unhealthy homes , lack of windows , dirt floor, leaks walls , overcrowded homes limited or no access to basic services as toilets , electricity, transportation.

  4466. Last and most important part of my research at that time facing major slums tenants still pay higher rent about 16 percent on average slum tenants do pay rent premium of about 18 percent on average if they have one . Lords of slums and victorian authorities we’re happy to hand over problems of social housing to private landlords providing safe house for criminals , operating brothels , running illegal gambling racket , criminals earning them nickname ( thieves kitchen) . Henry Mayhew was journalist who wrote series of articles about London poverty during early years of Queen Victoria published in ground breaking book - London labor . Charles booth survey which looked at every street in London in queen victoria reign till her death in 1901 , in year 1905 unemployed workmen act save financial support for business. Charles booth and Henry May hew both are constantly pressed for improvement to Britain slums. In 1906 after liberal party put to power general elections more welfare’s reform were introduced pensions in 1908 seeds of welfare had been sown. Most of Victorians were ignorants or pretend to be ignorants of subhuman and slum life, outcome of laziness sins vice lower class life featured at slums vict squalor , drunkenness immortality, crime , lawlessness.

  4478. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly I learn new information and new vocabularies with every new video you post . I just found out that gilded age means in USA history period about 1870s to 1890s , which occurred between reconstruction era and progressive era . It was named after 1873 mark Twain novel by historians in 1920s . It’s was time of great political corruption and wealth inequality in late 1800s .

  4484.  @FactFeast  I'm sitting in my apt. in the dark, my little lit up pretend fireplace heater is going here in Maryland as I binge watch your kool videos and listen to your wonderful voice. Next to me are coins I found while metal detecting found mostly where a house once stood from the 18 hundreds, now towned down in the 1930's. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude as he luved Morgan Silver dollars and other coins, his house was chock a block full of them. He hurried many of them in his once yard and in the woods. I've found many on that old property. Recently finding a metal box that had an old nice 18 hundreds jewerly box filled with beauitful Morgans that look as if they were just minted ! One such coin is an 1895 no mint Morgan, & none yet have been listed with the U.S. Mint !😁 It soon will be. Just 19 of my Morgans can probably fetch way over a million after reseaching extensively. Plus there's still many more to explore, including English coins form Queen Victoria ones, King George, King Edward and so on. What folks pay for some coins is mind boggling. I took care of my mom & step dad for 17 yrs, they died just four months apart in 2010, the inlaws that were never around when the above were alive changed the 'wills' and in short I was left homeless. Eventually have been living in poverty for the last 11 years but hopefully that will soon all change. Take care of the money and it takes care of you, right? I hope to soon sell a good many coins, and get a nice real home, furnishings ect and a truck with a cap on the back and maybe a really nice RV. Invest a bit wisely and make and sell doll houses and Castles all hand made, maybe open a hobby store. How's that sound? I've metal detected for over 30 years and recently it's really paid off. Still the best find was a ring that a women had lost in the park, it was her grandmother's ring who'd just had died. After shearching of almost 6 hrs I found her ring. She wanted to pay me but I said seeing her happy tears were tmore then any money. Shortly after that is when I started finding the Morgans, maybe her grandma has something to do with it, I like to think so. Karma is real I think. Don't you? Thank you again for the stories.

  4489. Last part of my research infectious diseases were greatest cause of Victorian mortality most of these such as small pox tuberculosis influenza were old sourages but in 1831 Britain suffered from pandemic cholera and Victorian children diseases and many Londoners died from illness such as cholera measles scarlet fever and babies were most risk from diarrhea tuberculosis even in rich families died because of poor medical knowledge in 1880s 19 th century epidemics such as typhus yellow fever small pox scarlet fever they Victorians cure nose bleeds plugging nares with inflated balloons fabricated from animals intestines by j .frank in 1807 sorry iheard from mummy that cats are necessary to clean houses from insects and mice in the past just kidding and most dangerous fatal jobs in Victorian era are work house in awful conditions chimney sweeper prostitution hand loom weavers male cotton spinners thank you for giving chance to read learn new new information improve our English language as well as foreigners subscribers we appreciate your great efforts stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  4508.  @FactFeast  Always. I absolutely love learning about Victorian era London, and live on City Road (EC1) so I always imagine how it must've looked over a century ago when I'm walking home from work. Most of the old buildings are still standing there. And Octavia was incredible - after your last video on her I made a little 'pilgrimage' to the once "degraded, lawless" building in Marylebone which she managed and turned around. As you might imagine, it's now extremely expensive and sought after, with nice mini palms planted outside - facing her Blue Plaque. How times change, and not always for the worse.

  4525. 5:33 I have been a member of your channel from day one and studied every single one of your videos at least once (British and U.S.)The Victorian era seems spilt into the wealthy ( living a comfortable easy life) at the expense of the rest of society living (existing) in the misery of hard labor or unemployment, hunger, disease and brutal poverty. Wasn’t there any pleasure or hope in there poor wretches lives? It can’t merely be all negative and hopelessly depressing!? I have alway enjoyed reading the books of Charles Dickens and admire the social changes he inspired but he was educated. Without education, what chance did they have, ignorance and want truly are as evil as Dickens wrote they were. I’m starting to believe the First World War did have some benefits but the cost was staggering! Is that what it takes for social changes to occur? When the Titanic sank, the lost were chiseled on memorials by status , social standing. It wasn’t until the end of WW I that the lost were listed alphabetically!?

  4534.  @FactFeast  yeah but I've seen pictures of the place she was in it actually was a nice old Victorian and was cleaned up and I think turned in to cheap lodging for students and poor folks or actors looking for a break..she obviously did ok for herself since Linda Darnell was ranked as one of the top old actresses of the golden age of Hollywood and she came along way from the family farm and that flop house..but you could tell from the photo it was like a 1850/60s house and the area was rough but it was apparently safe and affordable when her and her folks lived there but I can imagine it was a dump in its hay day lol my grandpa said it was a brothel house during the gold rush . before getting cleaned up in the 20s and knowing my grandpa that might not be too far fetched he was a character but you knew you could trust him and believe him even if it sounded like bs 9 times outta 10 it was always the truth and I like your workhouse and Victorian England videos we have many kin that could have been in your videos end up in the states..

  4555. What I know of my family background, I traced my relatives as far back as 1851 when they arrived in Scotland from Ireland. I'm presuming they departed Ireland due to the potato famine. In the dock area of Glasgow my great great great Grandpa lived with his wife and six children in a two room home with one window and one door ( according to a census taken in 1854 ). His ( Grandpa great x 3 ) occupation was a cattle drover, his wife's occupation is listed as a " beef pudding maker " ,, whatever the hell that is ? One of my relatives worked from home as a paper bag maker ,, another relative who could neither read or write made her mark as an X ,, poor soul died of consumption in the Glasgow poorhouse at the age of 24 ( the last resort in those days ).

  4561. My Great Great Grandfather came from St. Giles and was convicted for receiving stolen goods in 1829. He was transported to Australia as a convict at 19 years old. He suffered as a convict in Tasmania, but was then released after 10 years of hell, and went straight to the Gold Fields of Victoria. I can only think he was better off than those he left despite the suffering. These people gave birth to our country, and proved that above noted paupers were just victims of an unfair brutal system. His descendants have prospered and nil known criminals amongst them.

  4583. What a terrible time to live in such poverty is beyond words . Ireland wasn't much different in the cases. Of the Irish Holocaust where 1.million people inmargated and what 2 m died from hunger when there was enough food to feed them 10 + times over . We learn in classes that sleeping on the line cost you a penny this sleeping on the line was a rope hung up that men or whoever could go to and stand holding onto the line to sleep and not fall... such was a terrible life ...

  4624. My father was born in 1903 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Palmersville. His family worked in the mines. By the age of 12 many boys were working in the pits. Lack of fresh vegetables took its tole on their health and lemons were a staple in order to prevent rickets. My dad and hone of his brothers were born with poor vision. His brother was legally blind. He told the story that when the local band was in a parades the boys would suck on lemons walking just ahead of those playing brass instruments thus affecting their ability to blow into their instruments. All his life he referred to cigarettes as "fags." When he was 12 his family immigrated to Canada. I am 79 and 60 years ago when I was 19 I visited family in Newcastle and, in particular, Palmersville. My maiden name was Baker and I could 't believe how many small businesses had the surname on their signs. I took a picture of a crossing guard at a school near where he had been living and it turned out that my dad recognized the guard and had gone to school with him! This film has been informative and verifies what life was like. It is no secret why so many immigrated to find a better life.

  4677. What kind of government lets all these building owners rent these filthy places to human beings! It never occured to me that people in England could live in such dreadful conditions!!! It really saddens me to know that so many women, men and children had a hopeless life for who knows how many generations? When I think of England I usually think of its beautiful gothic architecture, their great ships, their advance nautical skills, their great writers, poets, castles, kings and queens, of their industrial era, how proper they seem to be, after all they were An Empire for quite a long time. As we all know Empires are usually build to a great cost, and the prize is paid by the poor!. Thanks for sharing history.

How are you doing happy valentine day thank you sir for reminding us of past beautiful childhood memories cartoon we watched when we were kids in Arabic subtitles called little match girl written by danish Hans Christian Andersen actually victorian period was really misery for most of people at that time as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s match sellers are women who worked 14 hours a day in east of London who were exposed to deadly phosphorus vapours on daily basis nickname was given by match maker to particularly hasty conditions phosphorus necrosis of jaw and poor working conditions in match factory including fourteen hours work a day poor pay excessive fines and severe health complications of working with all o tropes of white phosphorus

  4704. What an interesting yet tragic video when we consider much of the world still lives in similar squalor. The viewers may be interested to know, the word 'hangover' finds it's origins in such places. A hangover was a communal pew with a communal rope hung in front. Unfortunate people would sleep 'hungover' the rope. Can you imagine the discomfort? Do a search and see for yourself what people have endured.

  4718. How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I gathered important facts about Manchester city England. Manchester is well known as world first industrial city, known by name of cotton polish in 19 th century, home of cotton industry in Britain. Manchester called also shock city , Queen City with largest population is state but not capital of city of state . Working class in England Engle is described old part of Manchester as frightful conditions of this hell upon earth , thus here arouses horror with such conditions life expectancy in 1841 was just 26 years .

  4732. Poor grandpa he married out of the work house in Ayr and to look at us all! our family now most middle class a few working class hard workers now retired.His children were all honest as hardworking and some,like him were extremely kind. I was sad to see that found on the ancient document detailing his marriage certificate. He was a proud very kind and handsome man,always brought his wife chocolates and sweeties for his children. An absolute sweetheart and I am the grandchild he apparently took to most and I have his nature. Loved bringing gifts for my family ,something for everybody even if it was charity shops or just a sweetie to remind them I never went shopping without thinking of bringing them something back,just like my grandpa who had to suffer the workhouse. He as always wore collar and tie,very smart man too. Prayers for all our ancestors.x

Last and most important part of my research all criminals in 1800s were penalized with death in some way typically by hanging such as treason murder minor offenses such as picking pockets stealing food could be punished with death sentences victorian period children sent to adult prison called reformatory schools forms of punishment included fines or pubic whipping or hard physical Labour or being sent to join army jails at that time were caged chained like cellars closets prisoners left naked or physical abuse mentally ill intimate held in general population with no treatment available for them I also watched American woman in labor in prison they don’t leave her to go hospital officer came when she have baby and cut umbilical cord with scissors it’s really brutality and violation of human rights even nowadays we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well have blessed day stay safe blessed best wishes for you your family friends

  4751. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s poor people in victorian England typically didn’t celebrate Christmas with much festivity. Often it was considered another work day for poor , but some workhouses provided slightly More elaborate means workers that day . Children of poor received stocking filled with fruit and nuts , traditions still have today . Festival Christmas for poor could rarely afford to save from their wages to pay for Christmas goose or beef , but agricultural laborers earning 5( 25 p ) a week could never afford to save anything. In 1834 things got even worse for poor with introduction of poor law act , which running workhouses, also created such harsh regimes so that no one would want to enter workhouse except at last resort . New poor law commissioners ordered that extra food was to be given out Christmas, in reality guardians , who ran workhouses took more human view . Times newspaper published regular review , which included how intimates were treated at Christmas in workhouses or around London, which included brent ford for year from 1840 to 1870 . Richard Richmond herald in December noted intimates received two hundred weight of beef ( about 91 kilograms) and same amount of pudding on Christmas Day . While workhouse was for very poor , many families were on breadlines early victorian England. Dickens wrote Christmas carol in 1843 which tells story of old miser Scrooge , whose Christmas gift to his worked unpaid clerk, Bob was to give him Christmas Day off with pay , which be considered poor execuse for picking man pocket. The book was very popular and encouraged many well people to give money and gifts to poor at Christmas.

  4770. The Little Match Girl was not a feel-good bedtime story ~ no way. I remember it very well, I couldn't sleep after having that story told. My mother made up her own words for it, but the general idea was the same. A tear-jerker story.

  4772. (Sir) Patrick Geddes (1854 - 1932) did excellent work to rejuvenate the Old Town and improve living standards there. He chose to live there when well off ppl moved to the new Town. We benefit greatly from his efforts. He used the Outlook Tower as an education aid.

  4773. Absolutely incredible poem; hearing this presented in form had me riveted, reading along to the poetry. Almost too powerful for the heart to bear. To this day, paupers on the street are haunted by the bleak memories of life on the street, and it can begin with one trauma in particular which reduces their function below the ability to pay for living indoors. This poem is all too accurate, and heartbreaking to think that despite our best efforts, and despite some in our societies being able to help a percent of the disadvantaged, there are still those whose grief has overwhelmed them and society still blames the person.

  4797. I have the greatest respect for people who have concern and empathy, and who then also do something to change the living conditions of the poorest. That Jakob Riis then also my countryman makes me both humble and proud at the same time. I would imagine that Joel Emmanuel Hägglund aka "Joe Hill" an immigrant Swede could fit under your subject area. Thank you for your work.

  4810.  @FactFeast  no problem and alot of the folks who fled the slums of NY and Victorian England and Ireland ended up out here in Texas and there's a lot of interesting history here..my town was just a rest stop on the Abilene trail before becoming a city I believe in 1847 and we had folks like soapy smith and I think Jessie James pass through but the most notorious outlaw to come through in the Victorian era was Sam bass he was a stable hand here before becoming a criminal
    2
  4811.  @FactFeast  you should check out the history museum in our town we even have the gun that killed sam bass I've seen it it's wild how they couldn't get all of his blood off it or it ruin the petina and historical significance but yeah people used to cut through here on their way to LA and Portland or kill time before running to Mexico via El Paso lol

    2
  4842. Thank you Fact Feast Team.⭐ This is one of the most satisfying love stories I've ever heard, that of Aggie and Ben. My heart was aching as Aggie cried, and Ben was outside with Clara Rose, and the mother was saying "what do you want a beau for, when you're always ailing and you're lame?" No surprise that Aggie blossomed with love and hope. We all do. I'm reminded of the character that Charles Dickens created in 'Our Mutual Friend ', that of Jenny Wren, the dolls' dressmaker. She had dignity despite her lameness and worked hard. These accounts of life are so rich and 3-dimensional, giving us the glimpses of hardship, brokenness, heartache and simple joy that our ancestors knew so well. The disabled, the those made chronically unwell from their work, the struggle to keep one's head above water, the malnourishment that poverty brings, the senile decay that many families experienced, and the early widowhood too, not to forget the high infant mortality rate (although not a part of this presentation) are all a normal part of life. I can see how the teachings of the Bible would have been a comfort to previous generations, when being resigned to hardship was the only way to manage one's circumstances. The rewards in the next life for a person who trusted in Jesus would have been a comfort, a God who answers prayers, a Saviour who was born in poverty and humble circumstances, who suffered and wasn't popular would have been a comforting friend to the average person living in the Victorian era. Thank you again.

  4875. I was waiting to hear about the illness brought on by a peculiarity of being a chimney sweep. If he were uncircumcised, as most were. The dust would get under the foreskin. Causing irritation, infection, even cancer. A good loyal wife, would be indispensable in battling this scourge of the sweeps! Great story. I binged last night. Listening while working. Now watched what I'd heard. Cheers.

  4894. Last most important part of my research there are four super villains in victorian era justice black borough who bent law to make money being judge he made fortune from his profession they bribed him he set them free put innocent people in jail and George Hudson he was member of parliament he robbed rich and deceived lot of people to make money for himself and lord Macdonald who robbed people as one of largest groups of Scottish families Macdonalds were very poor during victorian period during famine 1848 only source of their food was available in Liverpool lord Macdonald clan chief he bought all food available for twice price he purchased let his people die for sake more money . Victorian government who exploited poor rich people were held unaccounted for their crimes regardless of extent of their atrocities while for poor they while punished even for smallest of crimes child labour was common this period poor people lived under miserable sanitary conditions congested area thank you giving us chance to read learn improve our English language as well stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones

  4903. Millers Court alone had murders in 1888/1898/1909 and a suspected murder of a man who was kicked and beaten so badly that he died of his injuries. On Dorset Street, several more murders were committed until the 1960's when only the southern side remained and many of the buildings were semi derelict. Flower and Dean St/Thrawl St/George St/George Yard, Great Pearl Street and Little Pearl Street and many other small groups of streets and narrow alleys and courtyards were very dangerous at times, especially for lone men believing that they were going to spend time with a prostitute but was very often beaten, robbed and left semi naked in the street. The minority of semi criminal areas/very poor/poor streets made up maybe 30-50% of Spitalfields and Whitechapel, Stepney, Bethnal Green, etc but the inhabitants prowled around adjacent areas where the skilled tradesmen occupied working class streets and the lower middle class streets (doctors, shop keepers, junior and middle management, teachers, etc).

    2
  4912.  @FactFeast  I think I will. The rat catcher video was my favorite so far. Your narration really made him feel like a wacky character. But your other videos that aren't as "in-character" are easier to understand, so I like both kinds.

  4919. I love this channel ❤

  4920. I must say that the YouTube live action stock footage is unnecessary. It's just really jarring when the beautiful illustrations and old photos are suddenly interrupted by some 2025 era dude up in my face trying to act out some vague emotion. If I wasn't in love with this channel, I wouldn't care enough to complain. Regardless though, please make 1000 more videos. I'm running out!

  4927. I really enjoy listening to most of these video. I really wish the narrator wouldn’t put on such strong accents for the Londoners as it’s very hard to keep up with and understand. Unfortunately had to stop listening to this one which is such a shame as no other channel has access to such amazing historical records 🙁

  4934. How are you doing sir thank you for wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s pets in victorian era become part of personal identity of nobility. Keeping animal that was lavished with attention, affection, high quality food . In 18 th century there are most popular kind of dogs ate foxhound and beagles .royal family is well known for love of dogs including corgis , jack Russell, cocker spaniels . Dogs were most popular of victorian domestic pets . Until 1860 dogs that had owner were mostly relegated to farms , sleeping in barn or under front porch . They were used for hunting, herding or other specific tasks . Pedigree dogs were kept as sign or class and status of life elite victorian homes and were prized for color and song they brought to working class culture. Queen Victoria was dog lover from early age . For her 17 birthday portrait of dash het beloved cavalier King Charles spaniel, was given to her as gift from her mother duchess of Kent . During great plague of 1665 , common council of city of London decreed that all dogs and cats should be immediately killed to stop spread of bubonic plague, Daniel Defoe generously estimated that forty thousand dogs and five times as many cats were killed as result. Bubonic plague aside , late in summer 1760 London gripped by reporters of mad dogs attacking people in streets. Writing In newspaper 1760 owners of dogs who prided themselves on their love of their animals , but were unmoved by suffering of other people. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  4936. Been away visiting family and now I can catch up on your wonderful videos the next few days. This one is fun and different, not many accounts of train travel from actual people who were on them in the 19th century. I don't know how you find these accounts, but they are appreciated!
    2
  4937. I can't fathom living in conditions such as these with children to care for. What an absolutely helpless feeling for a loving caring parent to bring their children home to just an appallingly unappealing and downright physically harmful, unsafe and unsanitary/disgusting conditions. I mean, can you REALLY blame these folks even if they were untidy?... When living in a place such as this, why bother? You probably couldn't afford the necessities to properly clean up even on a BASIC temporary measure to make it SLIGHTLY more tolerable. There weren't any plastic garbage bags or publicly available collection. I mean... Your communal stairway could literally have steps give way as you traverse it. The amount of desperation, deprivation and powerlessness is almost unfathomable if you've grown up in an advanced modern society.

  4962. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. There are great news I want to share with you all YouTube channels I am subscriber to . Iam going to be English teacher in academy improving plan for weak students . This achievement due to your efforts you encourage us to read and learn . Iam learning new information and vocabularies with every video you are posting. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all meanings of squalor is condition of being extremely dirty and unpleasant, often because of lack of money . London city in 19 th century population expanded to four million, which spurred high demand for cheap housing. London slums as result of rapid population growth and industry. They became notorious, overcrowding, unsanitary. Worst slum in London is Jacob island was popularised in Charles Dickinson novel Oliver Twist . Marylebone London , was ancient parish manors ( landholdings) of lieston ( in west which gives name to modern lisson grove ) and Tyburn in east . Crime rate in marylebone is 511 per thousand. Marylebone became famous and fashionable place to live, also to visit . Before redevelopment began , bowling greens had been turned into pleasure gardens . The gardens drew people all over london to see concerts and firework displays, musicians and composers lived and worked there .

  4994. This I find interesting as I have done my family history & discovered a 4th great grandfather was sentenced for stealing a sheep in Beaulieu to feed his family, he got a prison sentence then😮 released with a threat of the death sentence if he committed the offence again. He then killed & stole a deer & was court to be sentenced to death. 2 weeks before his hanging he was given a choice to go to his death or face shipment to Australia & build a new land as a slave & leave his family behind. He went on the ship. His name Jasper Strickland, one of 299 convicts transported on the ship Admiral Gambier and Friends in 1811 to New South Wales to never see his wife or children again.

  5044. Thank you sir for your wonderful cultural documentary channels . As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of domestic service synonyms female house keeper , handmaid , housemaid. Victorian maids are girls often went in service aged 12 , 13 or sometimes younger . Wealthy Victorians set away with employing servants and forcing them to work unsociable hours and to sleep in attic rooms , using servants stairs . They received harsh treatment at hands of their employers . Girls were from rural village were in demand as maids , often thought they would harder than children from cities. There are amazing article written by Kate Clarke . In 1891 countrywide more than milion one in three women between ages of fifteen and 20s were in domestic service . Such as kitchen maids, maids of all work ( sometimes referred to as slaveys) . They were paid between 6 to 12 sterling pound a year . Tweenies maids who helped other domestic, moving between floors as and when they needed, were paid less . There was tax on indoor male servants, their wages were cheap . Mistreatment of servants was commonplace. In 1740 Mary branch and her mother were executed for beating servant to death , on gallows . She admitted, said she considered all servants are slaves , thieves. Many young women in domestic service were severely punished by law , especially with their lives , for giving birth to illegitimate babies.”

  5045. Edinburgh tunnels bridges and closes have a very similar history to most cities in this century.
    2
  5046. I will check it out. Done the tours around the north bridges and cemeteries. Fascinating to stand where the homeless hid from the hangman while Burke and hare took the stolen corpses to the doctor for autopsy through the tunnel to be undetected by police. Occasionally taking some live human specimens from the catacombs it is said. Please do one on the most recent found tunnels behind a old wall. Alot still unknown about it as owned privately.
    2
  5047. At 3:09 Gibraltar Walk (it's cut off) is where my gg grandfather was born. At the time of marriage in 1881 his residence was Brushfield St. You mention it at 8:01, but I don't see it on the map. Little clarity here?

  5092. I truly believe than in every era children have been exploited in different ways, different jobs, and nobody did nothing to prevent the inferno they have endure. As fir today children are still exploited is call Hollywood! Just reading Shirly Temple life, who reveals she had to work 12- 14 hours a day playing this beautiful little girl who always played characters aa an orphan child, an abandoned child, etc ..in the movies she always end up with a happy life but in real life she work for the cinemma company and her parents who stoled all her earnings. Shirly claimed that when childen would get tired ..they were forced to sit on an ice cube as punishment. Shirly story was many children stories who were in the show business. In India, Iran, Arabs countries, and some countries in Latin America many children are forced to work from 5 years old up. Women and children had been the most exploited part of the population world wide. Thanls for sharing this video.

  5112. Last part of my research old rope known as oakum, was used to pack joints in ship building to keep them watertight. Metal spike was used to unpick rope , nicknamed for workhouse was spike . Life there was not easy . Hard only very poor with no hope of finding job could go there for help . Workhouse did provide free medical care , education for kids , sort of help was not available for people outside workhouse system. Toward end of 1800 s , workhouses became filled with old and sick rather than unemployed people. In 1929 laws were changed and workhouses became hospitals. Some of workhouses were renamed public assistance institutions. Workhouses finally disappeared when national assistance act of 1948 was passed . Example of workhouse such as red house of Framingham castle in suffox was founded as workhouse in 1664 . Carlisle union workhouse opened in 1964 later became part of university of Cumbria . It’s considered shameful for man to live in workhouse, that meant he could not look after his own family. If man with family had to enter workhouse with his whole family to go with him . People in workhouses suffered death in these institutions between 1846to 1851 . Famine there , mortality rates they Perecived as ( death houses ) . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well . I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  5150. As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually life as victorian servants was incredibly hard . They worked long hours with very few breaks . They often working up to 112 hours a week. English writer Anthony Trollope wrote about his visit to New Zealand in 1872 . He expressed common view on servants there . In such town he mentioned as Christ church girl of 20 or 23 can earn 30 to 40 pounds year and comfortable home with no oppressive hard work , if she be well conducted, decent appearance. She is sure to get husband who can keep house over her head . For such persons New Zealand is paradise. Victorian servants treated badly and long hours . Servants should be physically strong, have sense of subservience. Unfortunately there are tyrannical mistresses as Wellington woman told in 1890 ( commission who investigated working conditions). She said I have been in service at four different houses and , three of mistress were tyrants . In some New Zealand big houses had about dozen of servants. Parlour maid , cook , Gardner, while laundry maid might cover three or four big house . Only about dozen bulter . Holiday trouble, parliament treated in 1896 bill that aimed to give domestic half day , off pre week as huge joke . No Union day off . Union of domestic servants in 1890s failed. In 1896 parliamentary bill for half day off week for servants. Eight hours act in 1901 gave servants their holiday but , in spite name didn’t stop servants being called on to work 12 hours or longer per day . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel.

  5154. Never seen or heard of this channel. 90 seconds in and I can tell you've never been to America. We have no real social safety net to speak of and there are states/cities with massive homelessness problems all over. EDIT: Still, interesting, liked/subscribed. That 1 penny sit up looks like county jail where I'm from.

  5169. Last part of my research there are at museum old helmets , uniforms, body armour , handcuffs people. Police museum on spakhill to this location. National lottery heritage fund . Peaky blinders earned their name after sewing razor blades into peaks of their flat caps so they could blind rival gangsters by head butting them . Court record for gang members as foul mouthed young men who stalk in street in drunken group insulting and mugging passer by . B bc shoe five series center and gang and fierce boss tommy Shelby. The jail will open doors to public on January offering 90 minutes guided tours . It’s really very miserable time during victorian age . Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  5182. The last 10 minutes the little boy whoms mother lost everything 5 years after his fsther died due to the potato blight broke my heart. He took care of his mother the best her cpupd and himself while she was sick. Regardless of how little he was. He was more of a man back then as a wee child. Than any man I've ever known these days. God bless him hope he was able to get a better life. For him and his momma. If not. God bless their souls.

  5183. The man in the photograph by her was standing like he was showing respect and asking permission for something..she must have been the head of her family..the other guy sitting must have been part of her family as he sits easy, not in a sign of respect.if the man asking her "permission" was a powerful member of the clan the other guy would be sitting diffrently

  5193. Last most part of my research gin selling is prohibited distillery from selling to unlicensed merchants unfortunately in Victorian age beer and gin were cheap costing 1 d drink was easier to get hold of than clean water many people drank alcohol instead and drunk ness was problem in some areas illness and death were common especially in children. Early 17 century gin became widespread after 1688 glorious revolution led by William of Orange and sub sequenced. 19 century was drinking clean water it’s called dry gin because it’s clear and sweetened flavored gin nickname mothers ruins because allowed women to drink along men for first time this led many women neglecting their children and turning to prostitution gin drinkers called simple sipper and uk famous for gin working class women made them sold their homes because of that brewed alcohol that was in19 th century pleasure craft such as motor yacht or luxury yacht stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones happy Easter

I moan alot about where i live , the noise off the aeroplanes <live on flight path unfortunately> drives me nuts, but looking at this makes me ashamed to ever moan again, i had lice as a child it was really dire and i remember over 50yrs later shaking my head and them all dropping off the dead ones, God the itching was terrible, my mums words were she thought they had died out from the war, she couldn't believe how lousy i was <got them from school > and mum got me shampoo to get rid.////so lucky to live in this time period, we take way too much for granted//thanks for vid/

  5221. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . I read about victorian dinner , habits for both low and high class . At victorian time dinner known as ( afternoon meal as supper as evening meal ) . There are rules of victorian dinner such as fork to left of plate , while knife and soup spoon were set to right of plate . In eating bread with meat , never dig into gravy on pate , then bite off , small piece , put upon plate , then with fork . Upper class in victorian time ( 1837 - 1910 ) they have variety of food at dinner meal such as appetizers, cold meats , soups , fish , meat course , desserts, cheese , beverages while poor families ate more carbohydrate such as bread , potatoes, porridge, oats . Poor people meals were cheaper, seasonal vegetables were also part of their diets . Victorian people who live in slums eat cheese , potatoes, sandwiches of bread and watercress. There are strange food for victorian people such as jellied eels were hot drinks from east end London, popular in the world, drinking filthy water was risky , calves head , feet , blood, rice milk , donkey milk . Happy mother day we celebrate mother day in Arabic countries as well as you in England .

  5225. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel we appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well first of all I looked up for meaning of dustman it’s means waste collector or known as garbage man in USA bin man in uk there are novel by Charles dickens in our mutual friend dust heap when person became golden dust man . Really victorian age was very tough age especially for poor dust man job is dangerous and disagreeable job he would shovel waste material in parish of lambeth alone there are about 40, 000 houses each house is calculated to contribute on average three loads of dust in year . Annual refused of this section of London would form mound of no mean proportions and dust cart to pass each door twice a week

  5232. I WONDER what new york looked like before it was a slum, And did it ever look modern and clean when they first laid the groundwork with the first brick and lumber What year did the construction of New York start? The 1500s MAYBE? Seems they rarely tore down any old decrepit buildings, only built around them.

  5235. Last and most important part of my research soapy Smith gained motoriety through his prizes soap racket prize soap in which he would sell bar of soap with prize money hidden in some of bars packing in order to increase sales. He was funny guy he eats at fine restaurant and says he had no money to send him for three month in prison. He was man of ego , considered himself gentleman . Due to receiving bribes some of police officers patrolling streets would not arrest Smith or members of his gang . In 1888 smith opened trivoli club combination saloon - gambling house . He opened too false telegraph for laden victims. Vigilance committee he formed his own law . During Spanish American war in 1898 smith formed his own volunteers with approval of United States department of war known “ Skagway military company “ was Himself as capitan. Smith wrote to President William McKinley too . He was afraid that no police officer would arrest him and so he could not reach his winter home .we appreciate your efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well. Best wishes for you your family friends.

  5253. My father came from Somers Town in what is now Camden and which, in his boyhood, was considered to be a slum area. A priest named Father Jellicoe made it his duty to rectify this and as I was growing up my dad often mentioned his name as a bit of a hero. I remember seeing a photo of my dad and his best mate Daxie(?) with Father Jellicoe but I have been unable to trace it - can anybody help? I believe that Daxie went on to become landlord of one of the local pubs.

  5267. Here we once again with the weekly digest from FactFeast as we’re carried back to a time when the Victorian prisons were all about punishment. Wait a minute, in this Carolean era nothing has changed the penal system is still about punishment. Rehabilitation still isn’t the order of the day in the U.K. that has still a revolving door policy.

Since Brooklyn bridge opening in 1883 till present day . This bridge stand for both as city of New York as idea of modernity by city of urban .

  5304. Although I exaggerate here, dreary as these photographs of the London poor, their landscape is nonetheless on a human scale! Compare that scale with the the inhuman gigantic and vertical overcrowding of the "high rises" in contemporary Western cities whose sole purpose is pecuniary gain-in spite of important improvements in health, lodging, and f ood-that now crush space for healthy social relationships for total social control with virtually endless streets mindlessly blended with endless commercial interests with high rents, on what is ignorantly referred to as "communities" --a savage characterization that pales, by comparison, the real and more full blooded human communities in the slums of 19th century London where many knew their neighbors and probably set up little help networks that contemporary "cities" cannot possibly have --in spite of being, on the whole, far better well fed. healthier and far more comfortable.

  5324. Last and most important part of my research until year 1918 there were laws requiring that even electricity be installed in apartment in 1976 newyork city introduced first public housing project era of tenement building living there was cramped poorly lit under ventilatied usually without indoor plumbing tenements were hotbeds of vermin disease were frequently swept by cholera, typhus, tuberculosis. Highest concentration calls about illegal dwellings came from of city most expensive pocket like upper east side unless you living in Muti Milion dollar. Penthouse all of new city as slums some of building have too much commercial space too many dwelling units too few parking spaces some are too tall . Tenements house act of 1797 legally one toilet privacy per zo people . Tenements are cheap material had little or no indoor plumbing lacked proper ventilation spreading illness diseases disasters like fire poorest area in newyork was Bronx poorest town there rock land thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well ihope you like my research good luck to you your family friends

  5335. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. Honestly homelessness is global issue but , very rare in Arabic countries. There are several causes for homelessness such as drug dependency, alcoholism, domestic violence, lack or affordable housing, mental illness, sexual abuse, poverty. Homelessness leds to severe complications as fatal diseases or death , depression, crimes too . I remember when you made videos about rough sleeping for Poor victorian people in coffin beds which are barely enough for body , or sleeping in wet doorway. As I read act 1824 passed two hundreds years ago and subsequent legislation built on make homelessness, from rough sleeping criminal offence . There are gefforye museum showing photographs of homeless men in 1890 . There are too as in article written in 2015 titled ( homelessness in victorian London exhibition charts life on streets ). Men on benches geffrye in east London there are paintings. Jane hammer senior lecturer on modern British , leader of group of academics whose research in victorian homelessness inspired exhibitions, said Charles dickens in Oliver Twist workhouses photographs coffin beds . Giant rowtan house hostels were built by philanthropist lord rowton in effort to provide better accommodation than causal wards lodging houses .

Seems we have read the same two books.👌 Jack London Talked about this in his book The people of the abyss London Slum. 1903 George Orwell wrote a about Down an out in Paris an London in 1933. Two very good books. ✌

  5356. Are you the voice behind Relaxation Report? Is it better, or is it worse, to be impoverished nowadays? The same but different? The philanthropic view is often focused on the one day out of all others, in a year but with modern mass media one is very aware of pleas for funding so many platforms, that there can be a numbing effect with the constant barrage for help on a daily basis. A semblance of normality can be obtained with government assistance but there is definitely room for improvement in that area. The need is so great and people can and do fall through the cracks. Modern ills filter through all aspects of our lives and poverty festers renewal and hope. It’s a daunting task to look after those who are needing help but the end result is even more dire if that help is not given in a timely manner.

  5360. I am new to your channel but - You had me from the start when you said her autobiography was called Beauty for Ashes because she was called into public service by the influence of her faith; and more when you warned these details may make me uncomfortable! I love TRUTH that makes me uncomfortable enough to change! I look forward to your other videos!

  5369. How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s actually hanging invented rapidly spread to English speaking countries those judicial system of English origin was considered human improvement on short stop because was intended to be enough to break person neck causing immediate unconscious rapid brain death . There are two methods of hanging suspension hanging of body and neck or drop hanging calculated drop designed to break neck . In Victorian era criminals usually taken to gallows on back of cart on way people could throw things at criminal and often shouted or jeered vicar would often encourage condemned criminal to apologize for his or her crimes criminal would then be hanged would die from strangulation

  5408. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . Iam learning new information and new vocabularies as well with every video you are posting squalor means condition extremely dirty and unpleasant. Rural means area having features typical of areas are far away from large towns or cities. Urban means relating to town or city . It’s real misery to found out that Victorians in country life or rural life not better than at living in urban life . Rural areas in England including West Sussex, Oxford shire, Gloucestershire, cotswold, Devon , Cornwall, Lake District, West Yorkshire. Life of Victorians at rural areas in education government or parliament authorized sum of money for poor children in England to study at schools. Clothing almost hand me down , from father to sons , from mother to daughters . Diet was miserable, many families to survive , they worked adjacent gardens. They kept chicken, maybe pig to enable them to survive, make type of cheese be stored for winter months. Cottage was in row 4- 10 units and called two up and two down dwelling consisting of , main room , kitchen, two bedrooms . Merry Christmas happy new year. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

  5409. How are you doing sir thank you for historical cultural channel you are as guide tourists for all people around world especially us as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well as always iam gathering main points about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all Edwardian period known for elegance and luxury among rich powerful Britain but also for moral looseness for general failure to prepare for some challenges of twentieth century and housing conditions in half of 19 th century countries in common unsanitary and over crowded housing and houses in 1900s featured built in storage with solid wood or glassed in door including bookshelves linen cup cupboards kitchen cabinets and finally most important part of my research the main characteristics of Edwardian houses built in straight line , red brick work , porch with wooden frames , mock Tudor cladding timbers at top of house wide hallways parquet wood floors wider brighter rooms simple internal decorative we appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers stay safe blessed good luck to you your family friends happy Easter to you your dearest ones

  5412. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir . Actually as I read Ice trade known ad frozen water trade was in 19 th century and early 20 th century industry , on east coast of USA , Norway. Victorians didn’t have access to electric freezers or ice cream machines. Instead they would have collected ice from rivers and ponds in winter , stored in ice houses . They used tools pulled by horses to cut grooved grid into ice .Victorians have ice boxes colder ice , which was available to Victorians and early Edwardians called hard ice and refrigerated ice box for entrie week , saloons kept , used large ice boxes ice was used to keep all perishable fresh food cold . Ice was also used for ice cream making in hospitals was used for reduce swelling, pain killers.

    2
  5419.  @FactFeast  Yes, right near the market in Spitalfields & a few off the sides of Brick Lane. I've a friend who lives in Gun St, but it's council housing & modern. Even the name of the street & the cobbled, winding pokey alleys are all so evocative of all you speak of. This is also Ripper territory, as you must know!

  5438. Such pitiful existences brought us here. Wrought forth from the deplorable sufferings of our forefathers. I am of the mud I am of the waste. I am today modern working poor. Though my life is a reprieve in comparison to the exuberant filth to which I've originated. Future descendants will shy at the tales of squalor and suffering I've had. All in your voice. Hahaha cheers again.

  5478. Rats are scary and fascinating. They and the cockroaches will survive and prosper if ever a really nasty pandemic wipes out homo sapiens. I understand a rat can collapse its thorax to pass through any hole small enough to poke its head through. Years ago I remember as a youngster reading the account of a Police officer in Glasgow in the 1960s who was working night shift at a time when demolition of city centre tenements was happening en masse . Turning a corner he described how initially he thought the road was moving but on taking a few steps closer it turned out to be a massive movement of rats from a derelict building in line for demolition. I'll never forget how he described what appeared to be the " King Rat" at the centre of the silent, slowly moving mass all presumably motivated by some kind of primative, collective consciousness that their living in space was about to be destroyed and it was time to get to hell out.

  5564. This would make for an interesting lower end setting or scenario in TTRPGs. "You're not the hero of legend who rises from nothing to slay a dragon or thwart a nefarious Warlock. You're not the knight or wizard who protects a village from Orcs. You're not even a noted fighter at the local pugilist pit or a streetshow magician. Nay, you're a slum dweller who ventures into the great city's labyrinthine sewers to eke out your meager living, while hoping you don't run into anything too dangerous down there. And for you a trio of starving goblins with clubs can get too dangerous too fast..." 🤔

  5565. As a kid every day i walked to Burbage School from Hoxton Square, thats one end to the other end of Hoxton street. Leaving that junior school to Shoreditch secondary school later the walk was much shorter, infact we could climb a fence and be in school within 5 minutes 😊

  5577. Great video, the distressed woman seen at Charing Cross was apparently seen in jeans and a tee shirt, I don’t think that was someone who died in the fire as that took place on a cold November evening, eveyone would have been in winter clothing, in fact I have a theory that the ghostly woman that was seen was a crises apparition, it’s someone very much alive who for whatever reason was going through something extremely traumatic and for whatever reason it’s been replayed somewhere else in the world, Of course I could be wrong but the witness of the event did apparently say that on reflection of what he witnessed it was like a repeating piece of film.

  5590. @FactFeast  I'm fascinated by history in general. I have been all of my life, and I think I'll always be. And the UK Victorian era history always had the special place in my heart. It was the time of human existence where the old meets the new. So many new discoveries, in industry and science, and yet, they still managed to keep some of the old and traditional motives and ways. It's impossible not to love it. And you certainly have a unique approach and way of telling it, and that's why I love it, and I am so very glad that I've found your channel. Once again, - thank you for your amazing work, and my deepest respect.🙏🥂

  5608. Last part of my research though courtships were short engagements were commonly much longer , usually lasted several years . This was especially case for working class couples, as they had to work to save money for marriage. During engagement, couples exchanged gifts . Though gifts varies widely depending on class and status . More often than gifts , however couples wrote to each other letters. As they were sometimes separated for long periods and time during their engagement, because of work and familial obligations , letters were main source of communication. Many relationships as article mentioned developed in large part through written word . Another less common way by finding partner was through matrimonial advertisement published in periodicals , began mostly in working classes communities, but spread to upper classes by 1870s . Jennifer phegley argues that matrimonial advertisements provided new opportunities for lonely singles to find each other and increased women agency in courtship. These ads challenged traditional gender roles of masculinity and femininity as women were upfront about their wants and needs in their search for husbands. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.

  5610. Thank you, Fact Feast! Another obscure and forgotten aspect of Victorian London revealed. Whatever next? In 1882, records state that a total of 544 corpses were recovered from the Thames, 277 of which had a coroner's open verdict (they couldn't confirm the cause of death). Compared that with 23 in 2022. I do wonder what the fees for recovery and subsequently testifying to the coroner were and, given the desperation and barbarity of the age, whether that might not incentivise a bit of, er... murder? I'm not sure but I can be confident only that Sherlock Holmes would undoubtedly have exposed such devious corruption, if it were a common practice.

  5611. "For much of the 18th and 19th centuries most poverty relief was provided in the almshouses and poorhouses. Relief was made as unpleasant as possible in order to "discourage" dependency. Those receiving relief could lose their personal property, the right to vote, the right to move, and in some cases were required to wear a large "P" on their clothing to announce their status."

  5612. Last and most important part of my research boot blacking brigade movement was started in 1851 , when 36 boys were enrolled and they earned during year 650 pound sterling. After labour extending over whole metropolis and unceasingly pursued during quarter of century, number of boys has been increased to 385 and their annual earnings to 12, 562 pound sterling. The idea of London first shoe black brigade following meeting of ragged school teachers . They were considering potential ways in which boys might be able to gain new employment when great exhibition took place following summer . After meeting three of attendees were walking along together when one of them made suggestion that some of boys work as shoe blacks , cleaning shoes and boots of foreign visitors as happened in parts . Three pledged money for idea and began to promote scheme , raise funds and form committee at public meeting in 1851at field lane ragged school, demonstration was given first circuit to shoe black brigade. Young man , former expert thief , mounted platform in his unform equipped with blacking box , foot stand and brushes , showed how work would be done . Honorary secretary said arrangement. Envisaged locating number of boys at various points on metropolitan through fares to provide visitors throughout summer, clean shoes with civility and at standard uncharge of one penny. It’s was reported that several kind ladies had provided uniforms , boxes , that inspector would be shorty be appointed. On February training base was set up in some rented rooms near John streets in strand . At end of March five boys began work at first corner , square. Pitches were allocated to boys by police with brigade operating alone strand . Piccadilly , regent street , holborn and at parks , because of locations were more lucrative than other , allocation and pitches was changed twice week . During great exhibition, average of 25 boys were employed and cleaned 101, 100 pairs of shoes , producing income more than 500 pound sterling. After exhibition closed I’m October, five of boys emigrated to America. As I think they worked there as boot shiners to earn living maybe. I thought it’s child labour and found out that idea of school administration . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well and I hope you like my research. Best wishes for you your family friends.

  5618. There are still pretty trashy hostels in london ... inhabited by allsorts of homeless types, from the most admirable in their ability to keep themselves clean (in all senses of the word) to... the worse petty junkie crackhead thieving scumbags... once i could not find any place in the nicer hostels i had to crash in a dormitory of 3 tiers bunk beds , 18 people crammed in a semi-underground room that would be a normal front room... and yes a single determined expert snorer can destroy the night of many... good thing that we have earplugs nowadays....

  5648. ****Prior to my comment, which I sincerely hope you will read, there’s a question I’ve been dying to ask for ages. Are you narrating with your natural accent or is it for the benefit and enhancement of your subject matter?*** I thoroughly enjoy your channel and have for some years now. I’m shocked and disappointed when I go to the like button and discover I’m only number 401, in my opinion the numbers should be in the tens of thousands! I’m so frustrated with people that complain to me about how poor off they are because they believe the government support they receive is grossly inadequate and unfair! My first step is to point out what they do have rather than listen to them whine about what they don’t have. The first benefit is (I live in Canada) and like Britain we have socialized medicine. The next effort I make is to try and convince them to view any single episode of your channel in an attempt to lessen their ignorance and make them aware of how lucky they truly are and what true poverty, social inequality and both physical and mental hardship and suffering is! So far I have been mostly unsuccessful, which is discouraging because it convinces me people today are content to wallow in ignorance with no understanding or appreciation of how fortunate they are. What a frustrating shame people don’t pay more attention to history. What reaction do you think a poverty stricken individual, living in 1850’s Victorian London would have if they were suddenly offered all the benefits available today? Personally, I believe they would think they had died a pauper’s death and gone to upper class heaven! Sincerely, J.B.Henderson PS I would like to offer my appreciation for the excellent work you do, I can only imagine the effort and time you spend on research for each episode never mind the time required to actually write, edit, narrate (and whatever else I am forgetting) you put in just to make an episode. Thank you for that and thank you for making me a little less ignorant! And please forgive my inadequate writing skills, my profession is trauma medicine obviously not writing, hence the excessive length of my comment.

  5655. Some people are easily deceived oddly. Two girls made up and photographed fairies and the story even convinced Edgar Allen Poe, the author of Sherlock Holmes, for the rest of his life. As for me, if I see something definitive ok, but I have never seen an alien, ghost or Jesus so I can't believe in them.

  5656. We stayed in the Clark Woodruff suite two weeks ago because I wanted private access to that staircase and mirror and that is the only room where you get that. I could hardly sleep because I wanted something to happen so bad. We smelled Sarah Winter’s perfume A LOT which is supposed to smell strongly of cat urine and flowers… she wore it after her husbands murder to keep people away from her (my fiancé would get the urine and I smelled strong flowers 😂) and our little rem-pod meter went crazy a few times, but it was a pretty calm stay. We plan to visit again soon and bring more family so we can rent out most of the rooms in the main house.

I must say I have a lot of good people around me that help in many ways, for that I'm incredibly grateful and hope i can soon show my appreciation. I normally like this type of thing out of a genuine interest for times gone by, but I admit I'm kinda using them to make me feel better about my own situation 😅. It works, people had it so bad back then, it makes my low point seem like a highlight! Thanks for all the work you put into these brilliant and informative videos.

  5679. Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel sir. I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all definition of victorian house was institution that intended to provide work and shelter for poverty stricken people who had no means to support themselves, with advancement of poor law system, victorian workhouses were designed to deal with issue of pauperism , in fact workhouse became prison system detailing most vulnerable in society. Harsh system of work which became known for terrible conditions such as forced child labor, long hours, mainutrition , beating, neglect. It’s would be blight on social conscience of generations leading to opposition from likes . In 1866 , 35 , 000 children under 12 lived and worked in workhouses in England . Workhouse system was abolished in 1930 , but many workhouses renamed public assistance institutions, continued under control of local county councils. Most of boys employed there on tasks such as breaking stones , crushing bones to produce fertiliser . Girls too had some lessons, generally they were taught needleworks and other domestic skills , so that they could became maids or servants at age of fourteen. There are interesting novel by Oliver Twist titled ( Oliver Twist or parish boy progress ) plot of novel about Oliver Twist who was originally titular orphan who after being raised in workhouse, escaped to London , where he meets gang of juvenile pickpockets led by elderly fagin, discovers secrets of his parentage and reconnects with his remaining family.

  5691. When I was 5, our father left us to live with his mother, who raised him as a single parent. For over a year, we were left homeless. Our mother had a Woodie station wagon, and we traveled up and down the California coast, into the deserts, and up to Oregon. I remember her stopping and buying bits of fresh fruits and vegetables that we ate raw, cans of beans, sardines, peanut butter, honey, dates, nuts, molasses, yogurt, pinion nuts, whole grain cereals and ice cold REAL root beer, and juices. We never were hungry, but we were homeless and didn't know it. She would stop to ask farmers for work and would leave me with my younger sister and take my infant brother into the fields to work to all day to get enough food to feed us. We were lucky as children, but our mother made huge sacrifices to feed us. Sometimes, a "kind" man would take pity on us and feed us after my mother left me with my siblings to take care of. These men gave us shelter, bought us candy, nuts, and soda, but nothing of real value. With the exception of one, who was wonderful to us and married our mother. They were in love. But the worst was yet to come. Our father found out and went to court to take us away from our mother. He filed for custody and won on the claim she was an unfit mother. He did this to hurt her. But worse, it hurt us. He never showed us the love or commitment that our mother did. He was emotionally detached and left everything up to his mother to raise us. In the end, he kicked all of us out of the home. I was 15. My siblings 12 and 10. He kicked his mother out. When he died at 52, I never shed a tear. But when my mother died 1 year later at 49, I collapsed and wasn't able to function. I couldn't work for 18 months. I dropped out of college and was completely broken in spirit. I was completely on my own and raising my own daughter. The wind was sucked out of me. I moved 3,500 miles away from where I was raised. People were cruel and suspicious of my character and motives to have traveled so far from my roots into the unkown. But I made it. I reinvented myself, like my ancestors from Ireland and Engand. We are a hardy bunch, with fire in our bellies and belief in our worth. You can never take that out of a survivor. This is why these stories are so important. They need to be repeated and understood. They need to be honored and told over and over.

  5693. How are you doing thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel actually as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to learn new information improve our English language as well victorian times it’s was really misery when crime and poverty and diseases were spread as iread in victorian London in 19 th century worst job at that times rat catcher the city was blighted by cholera and epidemic diseases and rat catching was big business . The major problem with over crowding and poverty and early death were common for both rich and poor people. Most common jobs at times agriculture, manufacturing, transport, dealing (stories) , public professional service. The children of poor people worked on farms and in homes as servants and worked as scavenger in cotton mill or heavy coal trucks mines they didn’t go to school except church schools.

  5698. I remember requesting videos about the NYC tenements (I'm sure I wasn't alone). You responded by saying you were planning to create some videos and here they are! The streets on the LES and the Bowery look almost the same as they did then; the streets are so narrow. In the '30s many of the tenement residents were rehoused and placed into public housing, which is still there. My grandparents still called them tenements, and this was well into the '90s. Thank you for posting!

  5706. Can we say history repeats itself due to the greed of a few elites? It sure does! Yes we have so many modern conveniences and our lifespan has increased but do we have healthcare for all? Mental health services? A decent wage when the cost of living and housing keeps going up? Meanwhile, the Rich keep making record profits for their shareholders! A little suspicious if you ask me. Another great account of what life was like for the working class of the Victorian era. A part of me feels like many parts of the developed world are sliding back into tough times of great inequalities. Thank you for sharing!

  5718. Can't imagine a life of such deprivations and having your basic human dignity conveniently crushed by the upper class. People have had it way worse than us, and this awareness keeps my pride at its knees. It makes me both happy and sad that their untold sufferings and adversities are being discussed and acknowledged after eons.💔 How did it take me so long to find your channel! 🧡💚💙

  5719. This video brings to mind Fact Feast's description of doss houses, penny setups, tuppenny hangs, a fairly hellish account of the filth and stench of unwashed paupers clustered in a cold, bare, room, in Preston. Add to that lice AND bed bugs, undernourishment, employment collecting 'pure', diseased flesh and bad teeth! No escape from the squalid realities of destitution except through drink and opium. Small wonder people dreamt of 'a short life and happy death'.

  5724. I think I know where the treasure is hidden. It has to be somewhere between Carolians and Bahanas accessible only to Blackbeard and his crew, or rather trusted men. It would also be a place where Blackbeard could feel safe. Meanwhile we all know that rumor has it that he had many wives. Therefore it's not hard to imagine that he would stash these wives aways, just like his treasure, because he obviously didn't go to a city and get married. He wouldn't have them in the Bahamas because then everyone would know who they are. My theory is that the treasure was hidden precisely where women were hidden that were take prisoner of ships they attacked. There is only one place that had a pirate harem and was accessible to Blackbeard. I know that place and I intend to go there with a metal detector. Who's with me? :)
