Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Minories London I am aware that I may be charged with overburdening the text with quotations; but I think that in this way the idiosyncrasies of individuals and the characteristics of different ages are best portrayed. The most graphic editorial word painting is not so true a guide as contemporary writings and memoranda; even the spelling and quaint expressions have a distinct illustrative value. The original mss., in cases where I have had access to them, are transcribed Without any alteration, with the exception of those in Latin and Norman French, of which a translation is invariably given. Then further, many of the documents from which I quote (especially the Parish Records) are not likely to come to the notice even of those engaged in antiquarian research. They may, indeed, be useful only to a few; nevertheless, for the sake of those few, I have thought them as a rule worthy of being reproduced in ewtenso. Moreover, I hope there may be others who, not caring to wade through these extracts, may yet find some interest in the perusal of the general statements drawn from them. The many vicissitudes through which the precinct of the Minories has passed, during the 600 years over which this history extends, lends to it an interest peculiarly its own. The abundance of existing information bearing upon it renders it possible to trace, with considerable fulness, the various phases which each successive period presents. Although the events recorded, for the most part, took place within a very limited area, yet they may not be without some little value in illustrating the forces and in uences which, for centuries, have been at work in making the English people what they are. So numerous are the names of those, famous in their own days, who have been more or less intimately connected with the Minories, or who have been buried within the Precinct, that, with regard to many of them, it has been impossible to do more than sketch brie y the main incidents of their careers. In determining the space to be allotted to each biographical notice, I have mainly acted on the principle of dealing most brie y with those who are known to history, and the accounts of whose lives are most easily accessible to the general reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mediaeval London, Vol. 1: Historical Social [In considering the reigning Kings in order, I have found it necessary to reserve for the chapters on the Mediaeval Government of the City the Charters successively granted to the Citizens, and their meaning.] The accession of the young King, then only three-and-twenty years of age, brought to the City as well as to the Country, a welcome period of rest and peace and prosperity. These precious gifts were secured by the ceaseless watchfulness of the King, whose itinerary shows that he was a most unwearied traveller, with a determined purpose and a bulldog tenacity. From the outset he gave the whole nation, barons and burgesses, to understand that he meant to be King. To begin with, he ordered all aliens to depart. The land and the City were full of them; they were known by their gait as well as their speech; the good people of London looked about the streets, the day after the proclamation of exile, for these unwelcome guests, whose violence they had endured so long. They were gone "as though they had been phantoms." Holinshed writes. During his long reign, 1154-1189, Henry, who seldom stayed in one place more than a few days, was in London or Westminster on twenty-seven occasions, but in many of them for a day or two only. These occasions were in March 1155; in April 1157; in March, July, and October 1163; in April and September 1164; in September and October 1165; in April and June 1170; in July n 74; in May, August, and October 1175; in March and May 1176; in March and April 1177; in July 1178; in August, November, and December 1186; in March 1185; in June 1186, and in June 1188. And all these visits together amounted to less than three months in thirty-five years. We may note that Henry held his first Christmas at Bermondsey, not at Westminster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild Tribes of London IT has often been said that one-half the world is ignorant as to the manner in which the other half lives. Firmly believing in the truth of this, the writer of the following Sketches determined to add something to the stock of know ledge hn already possessed upon the subject; and, under efficient guidance, pay a few visits to the districts inhabit. By those strange and neglected races designated as the Wil. Tribes of London. The resolution taken, he lost no time in carrying it into effect. A friend was soon forthcoming, who kindly con sented to lend his valuable assistance in this search after information, and undertook, for a consideration, to act as guide through the labyrinth of poverty and vice, which, rapidly extending, threatens - and more than threatens - the healthy life of London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did pre-industrial London build the biggest water supply industry on earth? Beginning in 1580, a number of competing London companies sold water directly to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city’s houses had water connections—making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. In this richly detailed book, historian Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London’s water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand, particularly in the city’s wealthy West End. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London’s water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks. The city’s water infrastructure even inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks. The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 explores the technological, cultural, and mercantile factors that created and sustained this remarkable industry. Tomory examines how the joint-stock form became popular with water companies, providing a stable legal structure that allowed for expansion. He also explains how the roots of the London water industry’s divergence from the Continent and even from other British cities was rooted both in the size of London as a market and in the late seventeenth-century consumer revolution. This fascinating and unique study of essential utilities in the early modern period will interest business historians and historians of science and technology alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ______________________________ The huge word-of-mouth bestseller – completely updated for 2019 THE LONDON THAT TOURISTS DON’T SEE Look beyond Big Ben and past the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, and you will find another London. This is the land of long-forgotten tube stations, burnt-out mansions and gently decaying factories. Welcome to DERELICT LONDON: a realm whose secrets are all around us, visible to anyone who cares to look . . . Paul Talling – our best-loved investigator of London’s underbelly – has spent over fifteen years uncovering the stories of this hidden world. Now, he brings together 100 of his favourite abandoned places from across the capital: many of them more magnificent, more beautiful and more evocative than you can imagine. Covering everything from the overgrown stands of Leyton Stadium to the windswept alleys of the Aylesbury Estate, DERELICT LONDON reveals a side of the city you never knew existed. It will change the way you see London. ______________________________ PRAISE FOR THE DERELICT LONDON PROJECT ‘Fascinating images showing some of London’s eeriest derelict sites show another side to the busy, built-up capital.’ Daily Mail ‘Talling has managed to show another side to the capital, one of abandoned buildings that somehow retain a sense of beauty.’ Metro ‘Excellent . . . As much as it is an inadvertent vision of how London might look after a catastrophe, DERELICT LONDON is valuable as a document of the one going on right in front of us.’ New Statesman ‘From the iconic empty shell of Battersea Power Station to the buried ‘ghost’ stations of the London Underground, the city is peppered with decaying buildings. Paul Talling knows these places better than anyone in the capital.’ Daily Express ‘[London has an] unusual (and deplorable) number of abandoned buildings. Paul Talling’s surprise bestseller, DERELICT LONDON, is their shabby Pevsner.’ Daily Telegraph ______________________________
