he last time I did the walk, English walkers were shocked that Australians now celebrate convict-ancestors and Australian walkers didn't get why the English were shocked. In the day, no matter what convicts had done they were called drunks and prostitutes. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/walking-to...

Poor wages didn't reach to renting rooms, so dosshouses were essential. You could cook if you had ingredients and you could drink and smoke. It was close social life. Later you slept on a rope or sitting up unless you had extra pence to lie on the floor. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gin-lane-t...

Before the war in North America Britain transported convicts there. After losing that war it decided on Terra Australis as new penal colony, converting convicts into settlers whether they liked it or not. This Sunday 1300 Angel to Blackfriars. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/walking-to...

Thanks to @londonist.com for listing this walk to follow folks mostly considered Nobodies: 2 girls nicked for stealing a piece of cloth in 1825, jailed in Newgate, sentenced to death but later transported for life to Botany Bay. @footprintsoflondon.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/walking-to...

The route uses streets the girls would have walked in 1825, past houses, shops, prisons and open spaces they'd have known. The walk is based on a Londoner's Ancestry research, and ship-records show how the girls fared in Australia. @footprintsoflondon.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/walking-to...

Doré came to London to work on a book The London Pilgrimage. He drew all sorts, depicting the poor as diverse and busy, whereas his rich look bland and dull. Odd commentary for a tourist? He spent a lot of time looking and his point of view shines through. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gin-lane-t...
