East End Architecture London Walking Tour | Stepney & Poplar (4K) John Rogers 2023-09-03 | Inspired by Modern Buildings in London by Ian Nairn. A walk through Stepney and Poplar in East London following some of the architecture featured in Ian Nairn’s book, Modern Buildings in London first published in 1964. Our walking tour starts on Mile End Road and heads down White Horse Lane, once the main street of medieval Stepney. We then visit St Dunstan’s Church Stepney, originally built in 952 by Dunstan Bishop of London and further expanded in the 14th and 15th Century. We look inside the church, and marvel at the Saxon stone rood. Continuing down White Horse Lane we look at the Stepney Meeting churchyard and then turn in to Salmon Lane and Flamborough Street to the first of the buildings described by Nairn in his book. Our walk takes in: The Danish Seaman’s Church on Commercial Road (1958), St. Paul’s Bow Common (1958-60), Flats and Maisonettes in Pekin Close (1951), Old People’s Home in Grundy Street (1951), and the Lansbury Neighbourhood and Chrisp Street Market (1950 onwards).

Origin of the name of Houndsditch in the City of London #london #londonhistory John Rogers 2023-09-01 | Houndsditch was a very big, deep ditch that was dug just outside the Roman wall. 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 Cnutbecause 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.

Where Charles Dickens lived in Bloomsbury #london John Rogers 2023-08-02 | Tavistock Square was built on the site where Charles Dickens lived between 1851 and 1860,and he wrote some of his greatest works here. He wrote part of A Tale of Two Cities, but he wrote Little Dorrit here, Hard Times and Bleak House. The area was demolished 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 an area of significant literary associations. But those two great authors produced those works here which is amazing, isn't it?

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 infamous Kingsway Tram Tunnel in Central London John Rogers 2023-07-27 | Watch the whole Bloomsbury video here youtu.be/eD4L-Ic3FTYThis is the infamous Kingsway Tram Tunnel here at Holborn. 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 #londonhistory

Exploring Shoreditch & Hoxton in Londons East End (4K) John Rogers 2023-06-14 | An East End walking tour. 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.Watch my walk along the lost river Walbrook youtu.be/bGo4o2lYr_8Thanks to my supporters on Patreon patreon.com/JohnRogersPlease subscribe for regular videos: http://bit.ly/1EJjIB8Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCk1qvhkPMbF703QHR8qj8og/joinMusic:Big Sky - Gavin LukeDancing with Grandpa - Franz GordonFields of Blue - John UtahLamna - Lo Mimieuxfrom Epidemic SoundMaps:Open Street Map “© OpenStreetMap contributors” using data available under the Open Database Licence_________________________________________________________________________________Patreon patreon.com/JohnRogersMy shop: teespring.com/stores/the-lost-bywayMy Book: This Other London http://amzn.to/2zbFmTdAudiobook & Kindle: http://amzn.to/2xLGb8sBlog: The Lost Byway: http://thelostbyway.comTwitter: twitter.com/fugueurInstagram instagram.com/thelostbywayMake a donation to help support the channel paypal.me/JohnRogersLondon - many thanks!Shot in 4K on a Olympus OM-D EM-1 mark 2 with audio recorded with a Rode Wireless GO My Walking kit (amazon affiliate link - I earn a small commission on purchases)amzn.to/2Xky2UA

A relaxing Stroll around Covent Garden & St Giles / London Walking Tour (4K) John Rogers 2023-04-08 | 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.Related videos:Save Denmark Street youtu.be/lP7MjNN3N5ISave Soho youtu.be/glrm4FuyOsINightwalk around Holborn and Covent Garden youtu.be/7MsNt7xFR5wLondon's Lost Rivers Vol 2 by Tom Bolton http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/londons-lost-rivers-vol-2Thanks to my supporters on Patreon patreon.com/JohnRogersPlease subscribe for regular videos: http://bit.ly/1EJjIB8Music Dagdrom - They Dream By DayIn the Beginning of Time - Of WaterLamna - Lo MimieuxQuiet Steps - Kasper SchillWaking from a Dream - Hanna Lindgrenfrom Epidemic SoundJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCk1qvhkPMbF703QHR8qj8og/joinMaps:Open Street Map “© OpenStreetMap contributors” using data available under the Open Database Licence_________________________________________________________________________________Patreon patreon.com/JohnRogersMy shop: teespring.com/stores/the-lost-bywayMy Book: This Other London http://amzn.to/2zbFmTdAudiobook & Kindle: http://amzn.to/2xLGb8sBlog: The Lost Byway: http://thelostbyway.comTwitter: twitter.com/fugueurInstagram instagram.com/thelostbywayMake a donation to help support the channel paypal.me/JohnRogersLondon - many thanks!Shot in 4K on a Olympus OM-D EM-1 mark 2 with audio recorded with a Rode Wireless GO My Walking kit (amazon affiliate link - I earn a small commission on purchases)amzn.to/2Xky2UA

Exploring the Fascinating Mysteries & Stories of Crouch End, North London (4K) John Rogers 2023-03-12 | Join me on a London walking tour through the fascinating mysteries and fantastic stories of Crouch End in London's northern heights. 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.
