Why the fuck does anyone want to live in any fucking city stacked on top of eachother like that is beyond me. I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, it was hard sometimes, but still pretty great. We never put our outhouse within 100 yards of the well, you just don't want to do that. When I was 9 the folks sold the farm and bought two bars in Lexington, the rest of my youth was spent there. It was pretty great too. After school I worked in Cincinnati for a year and a half, then moved to San Francisco Bay Area. Little bit of culture shock, not too bad. Got sick a few times when I first got there. Being exposed to all kinds of shit, it took a little while build up immunity to all that bullshit, after 6 months I never had any more problems with the exception of H1N1, that sucked, but it was also 15 years later too. Anyway, I did well, made a shit-ton of money, but there's just too many fucking people there!! I couldn't take that shit anymore!! I had grown to hate being there, and was just fucking miserable, so I sold my company and moved to Nor-Cal, the Trinity Alps. FUCKING AWESOME!! I would go weeks at a time without seeing ANYONE!! Beautiful!! 3 years ago I had to move to Florida for my mother, I love her, but I really fucking hate it here, Sarasota isn't even really that big, but still, THERE'S WAY TOO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE HERE ALL STACKED UP ON TOP OF EACHOTHER!!!!

Surprising how quickly the murderers were located and arrested. They didn't have photography back then, yet they were identified by others based on their written published descriptions. You would think that they could have faded into the crowds and disappeared.

@SY-ok2dq

2 жыл бұрын

That Mrs. Manning was identified is less surprising, given that it appears that she had a French accent, easily identifiable as foreign and European. Maybe sketches of them were published. But even then, I'm still surprised at how quickly the husband at least, who didn't have a foreign accent, were tracked down. Maybe he had a more unusual or distinctive appearance? They both should have headed to a port city, some city that was teeming with transient people and new arrivals. Why didn't Maria at least, get herself over to France? It's the closest foreign country, and she spoke French. I think they both underestimated the abilities of the police, and to be fair, the work they did on this case and their ability to track them down so quickly was pretty impressive for the times.

Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) a Skillful Politican became Home Secretary in 1822, and carefully made police reforms without arousing the public fear of intimidation. He believed in crime prevention rather than relieving on punishment as a deterrent. In 1829, Legislation was passed by Parliament to establish the Metropolitan Police in London, a single Force for an area roughly within a circle of seven miles from the centre of London. Sir Charles Rowan & Sir Richard Mayne became the first joint Commissioners with their Headquarters in for Whitehall Place known as Scotland Yard.

Amazing! Extraordinary! Fascinating! Thank you!

Being an alcoholic was healthier then drinking the water. As far as Mrs Manning goes for someone who claimed not to have committed murder she sure wasn't against trying to profit from it.

I live off Bermondsey Rd in Toronto. Thats what drew me here.

The lack of hygiene seems obvious to us now, but the concept of germs was not widely known about in the mid-19th century. The Theory of Germ Disease was only developed in the 1850's by Louis Pasteur. You'd think the smell and taste of river water would be a bit of a red flag though.

The best coverage of the Bermondsey Horror that I've seen so far. Poor Patrick O'Connor .

I think drinking alcohol would probably help keep off the cholera if it made you drink less water. I suppose it depended how much you drank. Too much and you'd be thirsty again.

I believe it was in Kentucky, in one if the cholera epidemics, the town drunk became a local hero. He never caught it because he never drank water. He took it upon himself to collect the bodies of the dead, took them to the cemeteries, and buried them. No one asked him to do it, or ordered him. Everyone else was too sick or too scared to take care of the bodies. After the epidemic, he went back to being a drunken layabout.

Hardly surprising really. The Victorian age was brutal, inhuman and disgustingly hypocritical. Children lay dead on the streets in the poor quarters and venereal disease (especially syphilis) was rife, to name but two horrific examples. In my opinion this was the absolute worst age in recent British history.

The premise of this story is nothing new - married woman has an affair, then she and her husband kill her lover for profit. They were just as sloppy as most killers, and were hanged for their deed. Just ask Mr Sherlock Holmes.

Love this show England is has a interesting history going back hundreds of years. Love from America

Wow how did they survive drinking poop water from the Thames!? I love the atmosphere you guys create in telling yr stories. It's very English. I love England! ❤ Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤.

This was very well done, overall, and the actors in the dramatization were very convincing, despite the extremely cheesy “blood” graphics, etc. One major point is lacking, however, and that is the explanation of the murder of the wrong man! I should have thought that, had Maria murdered her husband with her lover, then she would have had a much better chance at getting away with it, her lover being far more intelligent than her husband. At that point, she was sure of her lover’s wealth, and marriage to him instead of a chronic alcoholic would have given her a much better life, in my opinion! Maybe her nature required her to exert control over the man she was with, but she made so many stupid mistakes that a clearer head was obviously needed.

That's the real mystery ...why did she choose the guy she did, instead of the guy with money? And even if she'd been misled by Manning's promise of wealth, once she found out, why not leave him? So much not known here

Loving this vid I see you did your history digging

Here's a History Fact. A Major - Problem at the Time with during the Victorian Era was Drunkenness! Amongst the people of the public and the police themselves. Many of the original Peelers were dismissed within ten years for being drunk on duty! As well as arresting drunks, the Constables had to cope with all manner of public duties, including Fighting Fires, Breaking up fights in streets or lanes, Petty Felony, as well as Serious Crime. The new police tended to be Thief Catchers, not Detectives.

Not terribly clever either of them. If things happened as the state claimed they couldn't have been more obvious targets. A delivery of a shovel the day they killed a man? Selling off his furniture? What did they think would happen when the man's disappearance was discovered?

Good story. Informative and well read. Thank you. Just one thing, i find the music a bit annoying

Thank you 🎉

Looking at the blood splatter in the murder scene makes me wonder if the house is still standing if anything remains. I can’t imagine there would be hangings these days, even if you knew without a doubt that the murderer did it for no defensive purpose. Also just have to say the background music is really pretty at times.

Rumpole once called the bottle of wine that he had just purchased, 'Chateau La Themes De Embacamonte.' The etching at 2:00, shows the location.

First charter for a police force was 1800 city of glasgow. London played catch up.

This must have been made for TV. Thundering music spoiling the dialogue all the way through.

The best part was hearing him say "dark side". Very Palpatine. 😄

It's always that paranoia that'll get you busted, every damn time

Great. This fellow and John McGuire are excellent. London in those days was essentially a cesspit of crime. It gives it some grit, other cities too even Sydney in it penal colony days. Crims were released and given huge tracks of land. The descendents are now some of the richest families in Australia. Pity about very annoying get rich quick ads. So dismally similar, con artists.
