It was a place where rubbish was dumped and amongst that would have been dead dogs. Or it could also alternatively and at the same time be that is where feral dogs
came to scavenge for food. The hounds came to feed on the rubbish thrown over the Roman wall. One of the things thrown over that Roman wall was Eadric, the traitor He was called and he was an ealdorman of Mercia who betrayed the English by joining forces with King Cnut who became the King of England. And eventually he must have upset Cnut because Cnut had him dragged through the city by his heels, burned with torches, decapitated, and then his body was thrown over the wall and into Houndsditch where it was said that even the dogs wouldn't feed on his body.London Walks, History, Pubs, Books, Tube, Days Out: Massive Q&A (4K)John Rogers2023-08-28 | Questions Answered in this video @jacquelinemacleod9699 What made you decide to do these videos and podcasts ?

to make way for the square. Later on, Virginia Woolf
also lived on Tavistock Square. She wrote A Room of One's Own while living at 52 Tavistock Square. Also To the Lighthouse, and Mrs. Dalloway. Bloomsbury’s

"The coracle - also known as the currach, bull boat, quffa, parasil - is a small, keel-less boat. Their main uses has always been as a means for fishing or transportation. Today, certainly within Europe, their main use tends to be recreational, although in Wales a number of licences exist to permit use as a fishing vessel. In other parts of the world, particularly the Middle and Far East, they are still used for their original purpose - as a workboat for fishing or transportation. The coracle has a long history spanning thousands of years, evidenced in cave paintings of their use from the early Bronze Age and perhaps as far back as the Ice Age. The coracle is likely to be the first form of water transportation" coraclesociety.org.uk/coracles

It was the tunnel that linked Angel
to Aldwych. And it was built after the Holborn
slums were cleared and they took the opportunity
to put a tram line through Holborn. It opened in 1906 and closed in 1952 on the tragic day that the trams were withdrawn
from service in London. It is said to be deeply, deeply haunted. I think there might even be a tribe of troglodytes living in the Kingsway Tram Tunnel, or I may have just made that up. #london #transport #trams #tunnels #londontransport #londonhistoryThe Hidden Bloomsbury Connection - a London walking tour (4K)John Rogers2023-07-23 | A special Bloomsbury London walking tour to the location used in one of my all-time favourite sitcoms.

Come for a stroll around one of the most interesting and lively districts of London as we explore the history of Shoreditch and Hoxton in London's East End. Located just to the east of the City walls, this area is bisected by the Roman roads of Ermine Street and Old Street. In the Elizabethan period it became a place of entertainment where James Burbage built his first theatre and staged plays by William Shakespeare before they moved to Southwark. The Curtain Theatre opened nearby close to the site of the Holywell Priory and the Shoreditch Holy Well. Our walk takes us from Curtain Road over Shoreditch High Street into Old Nichol which because one of London's most notorious rookeries in the 19th Century. This led to the London County Council demolishing the poor housing and building one of the first council housing projects at the Boundary Estate with the beautiful Arnold Circus at its heart. We go looking for the Leon Kossoff Cherry tree planted to commemorate the great artist who grew up in the area. We pass through St Leonards churchyard before walking into Hoxton Square. This was a late-17th Century development inspired by Bloomsbury Square built on the fields where poet and playwright Ben Jonson killed the actor Gabriel Spencer in a duel. The final stop on this East End walking tour is the site of the Hoxton medicinal spring in Charles Square. Thanks to Heidi Lapaine for helping with this video.

My Walking kit (amazon affiliate link - I earn a small commission on purchases) amzn.to/2Xky2UAA relaxing Stroll around Covent Garden & St Giles / London Walking Tour (4K)John Rogers2023-04-08 | This London walking tour takes us around one of London's most famous districts - Covent Garden. But first we check on the developments in Denmark Street, the historic home of London's music industry. From here we walk down St Giles High Street, setting for Hogarth's famous Gin Lane, and turn into Monmouth Street. At Seven Dials I noticed a drop in the land and a later comment alerted me to the presence of the Cock and Pye Ditch that drained the area around Seven Dials when it was known simply as Marshland. So we then embark on a walk around the Cock and Pye Ditch and Bloomsbury Ditch which opens up more of the area's rich history. This walk takes us from Embankment Gardens, up Strand Lane and across the newly pedestrianised section of the Strand. We then head Drury Lane, Shelton Street, Neal Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and West Street. Our walking tour resumes in Shorts Gardens and Neal's Yard before crossing Long Acre into Covent Garden Piazza and Henrietta Street where our walk ends.

From the spooky Parkland Walk where the King of Horror Stephen King had a mystical experience which became a short story, to a brilliant story involving Bob Dylan. There's also the theory that two powerful ley lines cross beneath the Victorian clocktower, originally the site of a wooden cross that gives the area its name. Crouch End was also where some of the key scenes of Shaun of the Dead were filmed and Will Self set a short story here, The North London Book of the Dead. We visit the legendary Kings Head pub, the Harringay Arms, the Queens, Tottenham Lane, Hornsey Town Hall, Hornsey Library, Church Studios, Crouch End Hippodrome and much more.
