Victorian London

Transcript: Tower of London - In the Victorian times this place was predominantley known for keeping people in its hands, like a modern day prison. it is also nicknamed the Bloody tower because a murder is said to have taken place in its premesis, of two young boys! Nelsons Column - With Queen Victorias permission, in 1843 the 52 metre Nelsons Colum was opened. It is a monument of Trafalgar Square to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson who died at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Firstly we will talk about what may of developed London's population and success. There were lots of different lifestyles during the Victorian period- rich and poor, smart and scruffy and fit and ill. Watch this video to give you a taste of contrasting life choices and styles. Landmarks By Abby, Naomi,Sam,Josh and Jamie Different Lifestyles St paul's cathedral - this cathedral is an active, Anglican cathedral founded/opened in 1708. It wasnt one of queen victorias favourites, she heavily criticised it for being " most deary,dingy and un- devotional (1837-1901) The Workhouse Unfortunately, Victoria died on January 22 1901, at the age of 81. She managed to hold and extremely successful 63 years 7 months and 2 days reign. West Minster Abbey - This is a church in central londonand was built in 1090, well before the Victorian period it want till then the Abbey had a massive effect on the city. In the period they done it up, and it was at that point West Minster Abbey helped improve the population and wealth of the overall city. In early Victorian times, if a person as too old or physically/financially unable to work, then they were sent to the workhouse. The workhouse was, evidently, a place of work, they took poor people ad have them bedding and food, in return for hard work. They lived under very strict conditions. if an inmate (people who worked/lived there) was caught doing a slight mistake, they were consequently severe punishments. For example, if they were caught swearing they would have their food taken off them for 48 hours-which was really quite harsh considering they did not receive much food daily. they also lived under quite strict conditions- their timetable went like this; rise at 6am, 6;30-7 am breakfast, 7-12pm work, 12pm-1pm dinner, 1-6pm work, 6/7 pm supper and 8pm bedtime. The official definition of a workhouse is a "public institution in which the destitute of a a parish received board and lodging in return for work" which basically means that it is a place where people went to work (you could even say to slave) in return for a bed to sleep in at night - it was not very pleasant at all. Queen Victoria was the Royal Monarch during the Victorian Period. She was born on 24 May 1819 at Kensington Palace, daughter of Edward, duke of Kent, and Victoria, of Saxe-cobury Sallfield. When Victoria reached 17, she was married to her beloved husband and cousin Albert; together they had 9 children - four sons and 5 daughters. Our current queen, Queen Elizabeth II was Victoria's great great granddaughter. Victorian Sport After her death, Edward VII became king and managed to strengthen the country on the build up to world war II, the British Empire and developed the country's infrastructure. Victorian London Common sports played in this era were soccer, rugby, boxing, rowing, horse racing, cricket and athletics. In the Victorian period, rules and regulations weren't followed as strictly as they are now, this resulted in more injuries (some fatal), riots, bad sportsmanship and disrespect towards the referees. sport was disorganized. The ashes (cricket) was created in the Victorian Era when England took on Australia in their first test match. The RFU (rugby football union) was also founded and created which developed the game of rugby in that time. Queen Victoria Tower Bridge - The Bridge opened in 1894 after Victoria decided there should be a road/footpa across the river thames, back then and present times. It is called Tower Bridge becauseof the spires on the edges looking like towers or cannons.

Transcript: Victorian London By: Scott Trimberger The Poor The poor made up most of London, they would do almost any job, even going so low as to fish through the local river for dead bodies Even if someone had a job, the wages could barely support one person let alone a family. There were workhouses, but families would get split up and the uniforms barely kept the wearer warm. Rookeries A rookerie was a place or district whose shape was a triangle. Rookeries had the lowest lodgin houses in London, most of them harbored thieves and prostitutes Sanitation A quote from The Morning Chronicle: " The river water was covered with cobweb looking scum, and drenched with grease..." The stench was so bad, that some said they could smell their neighbors filth through the walls of their shop There was no properway of disposing of filth, so it was dumped in near-by lakes. However, these lakes also supplied drinking water Gentlemen's Clubs These clubs were very popular since men and women led separate social lives. They served for gambling dens and a way to give of a snobbish rich appearence Religion Church was a huge part of every day life. No matter age, social class, or gender, everyone whent to church and had a form of a bible. Because of this, if the poor had any knowledge or practice at reading, it would have been from the bible. The Police There were lots of mob violence, smugglers, violent crimes, and highwaymen. Because of this, most of the police force had to be bulked up by non trainted civilians. Even though the police were undertrained, they had a reputation of being the most efficiant, kind, and humane police force around. Law Courts The courts were very firmly established. The judges were hand picked by the King/Queen. The three central courts were; King's Brench, Common Pleas, and Court Chancey. because there were few courts, the local police would deside mose cases, most ended up in a fine, public humiliation, and even death. Comparison... When Pip and Mr. Jaggers arrive in London, Pip is witness to a public flogging, this was one of the most common punishments in Victorian time. There was a giant difference between the upper class and lower class, mostly a seperation in the town. This is shown in Great Expectations when it is described how Satis house was up town while the Joe's farm was in the lower part, showing a seperation in social class Festive holidays were of utmost importance in London. If you had the money to, it was considered a privlidge to have friends and family as well as important people over for dinner.This happened at the beggining of Great Expectations when Mrs. Joe is trying desperitly to get the house and food ready for their Christmas celebration. Pictures This is one rookerie in Victorian London. It was like a central market, where everyone would come to sell, trade, buy, and even seek employment. In a workhouse, meals were usually eaten in a large communal dining-hall which often doubled-up as a chapel. Some dining-halls had religious mottoes on the wall, reminding workers that they should be grateful for the care they were being given. If there was any money in an area, it would more then likely go to the church because so many people rellied on going to it weekly. They were so well built, that most still stand fully intact today.

Victorian London

Transcript: The Victorian Streets 19th Century London was dirty Horses shat in the streets Household rubbish and and was thrown in the streets and remained there Cesspools were filled with "night soil" Sanitation in the city was poor The graveyards were overflowing with rotting corpses - mortality was high. Very high. It was a dark and dirty place There was no electricity And the smog had begun to settle The smog was caused by the increase in manufacturing Manufacturing caused a rise in population as more and more people moved to London to get work This caused poor living conditions as the city was forced to quickly find housing for the many new citizens Tenement building were put up They were shabby and poorly build and often many members of a family had to live in one room The Detectives Necropolis Catharine Eddowes The Victims The most common crimes at the time were pick-pocketing and food-snatching. Much of it done by children who had been orphaned. One of the most famous literary orphans is Oliver Twist, created by Charles Dickens in the 19th Century. In 1829 the Metropolitan Police was organised to help prevent the rising crime statistics in London. They were locally known as "Bobbies" This increase in crime led to the establishment of the Detective Department in 1842, which in 1878 changed its name to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) - A name it still holds to this day. Its offices were and are known as Scotland Yard. Al of this led to the rise of the fictional detective. in 1852 Charles Dickens released the first part of his story "Bleak House" in which he introduced the detective Mr. Bucket, who is considered to be the first fictional detective. In 1868, Wilkie Collins released what is considered to be the first crime novel: "The Moonstone". From Hell Elizabeth Stride Murder as Entertainment Because of poor living conditions, many women were forced to take to the streets for work, and children worked in the factories. There was no public health care system to take care of them should they fall ill, and mortality was very high among the working women and the children. Mary Ann Nicholls Dirty Old London Annie Chapman Jack the Ripper was a serial killer who brutally murdered five prostitutes between August and November 1888 He cut their throats and mutilated their bodies During the investigation of his crimes, several letters were sent to the Met, including on signed "From Hell". It is however believed, that these letters were faked, but we will never know, as the murderer was never caught. His five victims were Mary Ann Nicholls, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catharine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly Londoners of the 19th Century were fascinated by crime, and especially murder A contemporary critical periodical called "Punch", wrote about murder: "Murder is, doubtless, a very shocking offence; nevertheless, as what is done is not to be undone, let us make money out of it:" It was not only fictional, but also real-life murder that fascinated Londoners. And one case has never fascinated any more than that of Jack The Ripper. Even today, he is spoken of as a mythical creature from the pits of hell. Mary Jane Kelly Fighting Filth
