  • Ep 189 Camden cures all featuring Elizabeth Garett Anderson

    Ep 189 Camden cures all featuring Elizabeth Garett Anderson
    2024/11/20
    We're taking a stroll through the medical powerhouse that is south Camden and focussing on Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. She's been on the fringes of many an episode - her sister and her daughter have already featured, now she gets the limelight. And boy does she deserve it. She overcame hurdles and jumped through loopholes, even learning another language in her fight to become the first female Dr to practise (while presenting as a woman) in the UK. Her co-founders of the London School of Medicine for Women, were equally determined, playing the establishment at their own game to learn their skills. Inspiring women whose legacy still lurks along the Euston Rd. Plus a miniature distillery in Scotland. Cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Ep 188 The British Empire Exhibition - Baffling displays back in Brent

    Ep 188 The British Empire Exhibition - Baffling displays back in Brent
    2024/11/13
    In a new guessing game Alex tries to pick the material chosen to sculpt the Prince of Wales. 100 years ago the crowds were gathering in Wembley for the extraordinary spectacle that was the British Empire Exhibition. A showcase for trade, manufacturing and, it turns out, people. Problematic? Just a tad. But there was a miniature railway, a palace of engineering, a palace of art including the teeny tiny wine bottles in Queen Mary's Dolls House. And a regular display of destruction of the House of Commons. What's not to like? When the empire was at it's height, but with the cracks beginning to show, an exhibition was bound to be both brilliant and disturbing. Join visitors John Betjeman and Virginia Woolf as we explore the exhibition together. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Ep 187 Brilliant Bexley - Crossness pumping the poop

    Ep 187 Brilliant Bexley - Crossness pumping the poop
    2024/11/06
    Calling all penny farthing enthusiasts, we need answers! New records have been set, and we want to know more. Alex takes a dive into the Thames this week. Not the modern Thames, oh no, she's bravely gone back to 1858, the year of the Great Stink. What's that got to do with Bexley? The Crossness pumping station, that's what. An important part of Bazalgette's solution, his new improved sewage system, to transport the poop of London out the East. A very functional building then, presumably. Wait, have you met the Victorians? And will our funky theme tune be hitting the charts or clubs any time soon? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
