Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the most energetic, varied and innovative playwrights of his time. Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) worked across the London stages both alone and with others from Dekker and Rowley to Shakespeare and more. Middleton's range included raucous city comedies such as A Chaste Maid in Cheapside and chilling revenge tragedies like The Changeling and The Revenger's Tragedy, some with the main adult companies and some with child actors playing the scheming adults. Middleton seemed to be everywhere on the Jacobean stage, mixing warmth and cruelty amid laughter and horror, and even Macbeth's witches may be substantially his work.WithEmma Smith Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Hertford College, University of OxfordLucy Munro Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature at Kings College LondonAnd Michelle O'Callaghan Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of ReadingProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Swapan Chakravorty, Society and Politics in the Plays of Thomas Middleton (Clarendon Press, 1996)Suzanne Gossett (ed.), Thomas Middleton in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2011)R.V.

The ongoing struggle between the two political giants of the City, Nicolas Brembre and John de Northampton, was about to reach its crescendo. Brembre was Mayor for a second time, but de Northampton had learned well what to expect from his last term in office; and so a game of cat and mouse erupted on the streets, leading to riots, snatch squads, secret arrests, attacks upon the Guildhall and sudden beheadings on Cheapside. The epic saga of The Jubilee takes a bloody and violent turn as once again, London is gripped by forces of political violence.

In the heart of London's bustling Goldsmith's Row at 30-32 Cheapside, a mundane demolition in 1912 led to an extraordinary discovery. Workers unearthed a hidden wooden box containing a stunning collection of jewelry and precious items, now known as the Cheapside Hoard. This remarkable find, dating back to the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods, includes a rare emerald pocket watch and showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of that era. First exhibited in 1914, the hoard is currently awaiting a permanent display at the Museum of London's new location, set to open in 2026. Join us as we delve into the story behind one of London's most significant archaeological finds.
Affinity marketing at it's very, very finest. Rolex has made Mariners, Aviators, Drivers, etc, seek out and own a luxury time piece. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Bonney Home Services Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And Stephen whispered in my ear, as we all know he does at the very beginning of the show, but he whispered in my ear that he's not going to tell me the topic. He's going to keep it to himself and tell a little story. Stephen Semple: Yeah, I'm going to rob you of your preparation time. Dave Young: See, it's the thing that my brain loves is to hear the thing and remember my story about whatever the product is. So you go ahead with your little story. Stephen Semple: And you go into your imaginary world and ignore me. Dave Young: I'll be over here just doodling. Let me know when we're ready to start. Stephen Semple: So what inspired this was I was in Vegas recently and I was speaking at one of these big international cleaning conferences- Dave Young: As one does well. Stephen Semple: And these things are huge. Like Vegas is so big, man, it's crazy. But what I did each morning is there's a coffee shop I really like in the Bellagio that has just great espresso. So my morning routine was get up, go over to this coffee shop, grab an espresso. And if anyone's been in the Bellagio, the retail outlets in the Bellagio are phenomenal. Dave Young: Oh, God. Stephen Semple: They're Harry Winston, and Tiffany's, and Cartier, and Rolex. They are all the big fancy brands. Dave Young: I am so clumsy. I can't afford to sneeze if I go into one of those places. Stephen Semple: And what's incredible actually, if you're a retailer, and I've said this a lot, if you're a retailer and you're looking for ideas on how to do store displays, spend two days wandering through Vegas. The store displays are just phenomenal. But here's the thing that stood out to me. Each morning I was there just before the retail stores would open, and there's one store that every morning had a lineup, and that was Rolex. Dave Young: Rolex? Stephen Semple: Every morning there was a lineup at Rolex. Not at Cartier, not at Tiffany's, at Rolex. And I went, "Wow, that says something about the power of Rolex." So I looked at it and said, we all know Rolex is a super powerful brand. People who have Rolex stores can't keep Rolex in stock. But that just really did it for me. Dave Young: It turns out Rolex means coffee in Italian or something. They were just in the wrong place. Stephen Semple: Might've been. Might've been. So what I want to do with Rolex is we'll talk a little bit about the early innovation of Rolex, but the big thing I want to talk about is how Rolex promoted its brand. Because they did some really interesting things how they promoted the company. So Rolex was founded by Hans Wilsdorf, and he really was a pioneer in taking the pocket watch to the wristwatch. And legend, whatever has it that the name Rolex, as he describes it, the name Rolex was whispered in his ear when he was in a horse-drawn carriage going through Cheapside in the City of London. It was just this inspirational name. And it didn't mean anything, but he just liked the sound of it. And the first breakthrough came in July. He was given Class A Observatory Certificate was awarded to the wristwatch,

Industry-leading computed tomography (CT) scanning technology provided by Nikon has been employed to uncover the secrets of a rare 17th-century pendant watch, part of the Museum of London's renowned Cheapside Hoard. The intricate details revealed by the scans have transformed the Museum's understanding of this unique piece of early modern technology, providing new insights into its mechanism, case, and historical significance. The heart of the goldsmiths' trade in post-medieval Britain was on the south side of Cheapside in the City of London. Here, on 18th June 1912, beneath a brick-lined cellar floor in a timber-framed building, workmen discovered a remarkable cache of almost 500 items of jewellery, gems and other precious Elizabethan and Jacobean objects. Probably buried in about 1640 at the onset of the English Civil War, the so-called Cheapside Hoard is now housed in the Museum of London and contains only one item that can be directly attributed. It is a gilt-brass pendant watch, made in Geneva between 1610 and 1620, bearing the signature of its maker, G Ferlite (Gaultier Ferlite). For a catalogue to be published to coincide with the opening of the new London Museum in 2026-2027, Hazel Forsyth, Senior Curator Medieval & Early Modern Collections responsible for the Cheapside Hoard, wanted to check a few facts and figures concerning recent further research on the watch. In 2023, she approached Nikon for assistance and was delighted when Alistair Watson, X-ray Sales Manager, suggested rescanning the watch. The watch movement had first undergone X-radiography and CT reconstruction in 2005, but the technology has progressed enormously since then and there was potential to discover much more detail. The latest investigation was undertaken by James Finch, Applications Engineer at Nikon's X-ray CT production, demonstration and subcontract inspection centre in Tring in February. The watch was scanned in a Nikon XT H 450 system equipped with a source having a 450kV rotating reflection target manufactured on-site. Scan parameters were 430kV, 100W and a 2mm tin filter was used. A total of 3,800 projections were acquired with a voxel size of 31.8 microns. Each exposure took 1,415 milliseconds, so the overall scan time was 90 minutes. Nikon's CT scans produce ‘staggering' results “The results were staggering. For the very first time, it was possible to see details that were blurred in 2005, or simply invisible. The results showed precise features and gear components and relative metal densities, including imaging of the areas which still retain gilding,” says Hazel Forsyth. “It was also possible to obtain precise measurements of particular features. Even more exciting was the possibility of scanning the case and movement so that we could virtually re-insert the mechanism into its original housing. This meant we could work out what its early 17th-century owner would have seen through some of the apertures in the dial. The latest images have had a transformative effect on our understanding of this important watch and its place in early modern horology.” The watch, designed to be worn around the neck, is intriguing because it has a reverse-set chapter ring; the numbers 12 and 6 are transposed so the wearer could read the time by inclining their head. Other interesting features include a piercing in the case for an alarm, as well as astronomical and calendar indications on the dial. When it was made, it would have been a very expensive, luxury item. Unfortunately, it is in poor condition. Most of the enamel on the dial is lost and the hinge and cover are missing. The dial is currently supported by a modern acrylic insert and the mechanism, which was removed for conservation reasons, is heavily corroded. Very little of the internal structure can be seen with the naked eye, which is why the detail revealed by CT scanning has been so valuable.

Donald Macleod explores how the rise and fall of Light Music in Britain The names of the composers of British Light Music - Coates, Ketèlby, Farnon, Dring or Tomlinson - might not be as well known as those of Mozart, Beethoven or Bach, but some of their music will be just as familiar to most listeners, and it still provides the soundtrack to many people's everyday lives through, among other things, the theme music to their favourite TV and radio programmes. Over the course of this week, Donald Macleod tracks the rise and fall of Light Music in Britain over roughly 100 years, from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th. He'll be exploring the social history which led to this genre flourishing, from the late-Victorian theatre crowds in want of more popular fare after the successes of Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas, to the orchestras which sprang up to entertain the burgeoning UK seaside resorts. Along the way, Donald will examine the explosion of music in people's homes, as at first pianos and other instruments, and then radio and television sets, became affordable to households across the country, and the transition from silent movies to the talkies. Donald will also explore the challenges which the genre faced as audiences moved towards new ways of listening in the 20th century and the pioneers who have sought to keep this music alive.

ST. THOMAS BECKET l PATRON OF DIOCESAN PRIESTS AND DEACONS Feast Day – December 29 Our saint for today was a man who, the day after his ordination to the priesthood, was consecrated Bishop by the Bishops of the place. Then, two years and a few months after his death, he was canonized as a martyr and saint. Friends, please welcome St. Thomas Becket, also known as St. Thomas of Canterbury. St. Thomas was born in Cheapside, England on December 21, 1118. At 10 years old he became a student at the Merton Priory, then proceeded to a grammar school in London. At age 20, he was sent to study in Paris. When his father suffered financial loses in his business, Thomas was forced to work as a clerk. Through the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was entrusted with several important missions to Rome and Bologna. His employer sent him also to study canon law. He was named Archdeacon of Canterbury and given other ecclesiastical responsibilities. Due to his efficiency, he was recommended to King Henry II for the office of Lord Chancellor and was appointed in January 1155. Becket's work included the enforcement of taxes from landowners, bishoprics and churches, the sources of revenue for the King. On June 2, 1162, Becket was ordained a priest and on the following day, June 3, 1162 he was consecrated as Archbishop of Canterbury. He resigned as Chancellor to the King and sought to regain the rights of the archbishopric and of the clergy. This caused a conflict between him and the King. The King influenced other bishops against him and forced him through a council to agree to the King's wishes, but Becket refused. Then the King forced Becket to face another great council to answer allegations of contempt of royal authority and wrongdoings as a Chancellor. Since the judges were chosen by the King, Becket was convicted, but he ran out from the trial room and fled to France, where King Louis VII offered him protection. He stayed nearly two years in a Cistercian abbey but Henry's threats against the monks obliged him to return to Sens. Becket fought back by threatening excommunication but the Pope, although he was sympathetic with Becket, chose a more diplomatic approach. He sent delegates to find solutions to the conflict. Henry offered a compromise that would allow Becket to return to Canterbury. In June 1170, three Bishops crowned the heir apparent of the King, but the coronation violated requirements of the law, so Becket excommunicated the three. Upon hearing this, Henry was enraged and uttered words which was interpreted that he wanted Becket killed. Immediately, four knights set out to confront Becket. They asked Becket to go to Winchester with them to give account of his action, but Becket refused. He went inside the hall for vespers in order to pray. The monks tried to bolt themselves for safety, but Becket told them to open the doors. When the knights found Becket they pulled him out and killed him with clubs and swords. The last words of Becket were: “For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church I am ready to embrace death.” After Becket's death, the monks prepared his body for burial and they found that he was wearing a hair shirt, a sign of penance. Within a few days, pilgrims came to his tomb and the people of Europe began to venerate him as a martyr. On February 21, 1173, a little more than two years after his martyrdom, he was canonized by Pope Alexander III. On July 12, 1174, Henry humbled himself in public making penance at Becket's tomb. Becket's assassins, who fled to Scotland, were excommunicated by the Pope. They returned to Rome and asked for forgiveness. As penance they were assigned to serve as knights in the Holy Land for 14 years. Today, St. Thomas Becket is venerated around the world and many churches and schools are named in his honor. He is the patron saint of diocesan priests and deacons.

"Thomas More stuck his neck out"
The journey from our town to the metropolis was a journey of about five hours. It was a little past midday when the four-horse stagecoach by which I was a passenger, got into the ravel of traffic frayed out about the Cross Keys, Wood Street, Cheapside, London.We Britons had at that time particularly settled that it was treasonable to doubt our having and our being the best of everything: otherwise, while I was scared by the immensity of London, I think I might have had some faint doubts whether it was not rather ugly, crooked, narrow, and dirty.Mr. Jaggers had duly sent me his address; it was, Little Britain, and he had written after it on his card, “just out of Smithfield, and close by the coach office.” Nevertheless, a hackney coachman, who seemed to have as many capes to his greasy greatcoat as he was years old, packed me up in his coach and hemmed me in with a folding and jingling barrier of steps, as if he were going to take me fifty miles. His getting on his box, which I remember to have been decorated with an old weather-stained pea-green hammercloth moth-eaten into rags, was quite a work of time. It was a wonderful equipage, with six great coronets outside, and ragged things behind for I don't know how many footmen to hold on by, and a harrow below them, to prevent amateur footmen from yielding to the temptation.I had scarcely had time to enjoy the coach and to think how like a straw-yard it was, and yet how like a rag-shop, and to wonder why the horses' nosebags were kept inside, when I observed the coachman beginning to get down, as if we were going to stop presently. And stop we presently did, in a gloomy street, at certain offices with an open door, whereon was painted Mr. Jaggers.“How much?” I asked the coachman.The coachman answered, “A shilling—unless you wish to make it more.”I naturally said I had no wish to make it more.“Then it must be a shilling,” observed the coachman. “I don't want to get into trouble. I know him!” He darkly closed an eye at Mr. Jaggers's name, and shook his head.When he had got his shilling, and had in course of time completed the ascent to his box, and had got away (which appeared to relieve his mind), I went into the front office with my little portmanteau in my hand and asked, Was Mr. Jaggers at home?“He is not,” returned the clerk. “He is in Court at present. Am I addressing Mr. Pip?”I signified that he was addressing Mr. Pip.“Mr. Jaggers left word, would you wait in his room. He couldn't say how long he might be, having a case on. But it stands to reason, his time being valuable, that he won't be longer than he can help.”With those words, the clerk opened a door, and ushered me into an inner chamber at the back. Here, we found a gentleman with one eye, in a velveteen suit and knee-breeches, who wiped his nose with his sleeve on being interrupted in the perusal of the newspaper.“Go and wait outside, Mike,” said the clerk.I began to say that I hoped I was not interrupting, when the clerk shoved this gentleman out with as little ceremony as I ever saw used, and tossing his fur cap out after him, left me alone.Mr. Jaggers's room was lighted by a skylight only, and was a most dismal place; the skylight, eccentrically pitched like a broken head, and the distorted adjoining houses looking as if they had twisted themselves to peep down at me through it. There were not so many papers about, as I should have expected to see; and there were some odd objects about, that I should not have expected to see—such as an old rusty pistol, a sword in a scabbard, several strange-looking boxes and packages, and two dreadful casts on a shelf, of faces peculiarly swollen, and twitchy about the nose. Mr. Jaggers's own high-backed chair was of deadly black horsehair, with rows of brass nails round it, like a coffin; and I fancied I could see how he leaned back in it, and bit his forefinger at the clients. The room was but small, and the clients seemed to have had a habit of backing up against the wall; the wall, especially opposite to Mr. Jaggers's chair, being greasy with shoulders. I recalled, too, that the one-eyed gentleman had shuffled forth against the wall when I was the innocent cause of his being turned out.I sat down in the cliental chair placed over against Mr. Jaggers's chair, and became fascinated by the dismal atmosphere of the place. I called to mind that the clerk had the same air of knowing something to everybody else's disadvantage, as his master had. I wondered how many other clerks there were upstairs, and whether they all claimed to have the same detrimental mastery of their fellow-creatures. I wondered what was the history of all the odd litter about the room, and how it came there. I wondered whether the two swollen faces were of Mr. Jaggers's family, and, if he were so unfortunate as to have had a pair of such ill-looking relations, why he stuck them on that dusty perch for the blacks and flies to settle on, instead of giving them a place at home. Of course I had no experience of a London summer day, and my spirits may have been oppressed by the hot exhausted air, and by the dust and grit that lay thick on everything. But I sat wondering and waiting in Mr. Jaggers's close room, until I really could not bear the two casts on the shelf above Mr. Jaggers's chair, and got up and went out.When I told the clerk that I would take a turn in the air while I waited, he advised me to go round the corner and I should come into Smithfield. So I came into Smithfield; and the shameful place, being all asmear with filth and fat and blood and foam, seemed to stick to me. So, I rubbed it off with all possible speed by turning into a street where I saw the great black dome of Saint Paul's bulging at me from behind a grim stone building which a bystander said was Newgate Prison. Following the wall of the jail, I found the roadway covered with straw to deaden the noise of passing vehicles; and from this, and from the quantity of people standing about smelling strongly of spirits and beer, I inferred that the trials were on.While I looked about me here, an exceedingly dirty and partially drunk minister of justice asked me if I would like to step in and hear a trial or so: informing me that he could give me a front place for half a crown, whence I should command a full view of the Lord Chief Justice in his wig and robes—mentioning that awful personage like waxwork, and presently offering him at the reduced price of eighteen-pence. As I declined the proposal on the plea of an appointment, he was so good as to take me into a yard and show me where the gallows was kept, and also where people were publicly whipped, and then he showed me the Debtors' Door, out of which culprits came to be hanged; heightening the interest of that dreadful portal by giving me to understand that “four on 'em” would come out at that door the day after tomorrow at eight in the morning, to be killed in a row. This was horrible, and gave me a sickening idea of London; the more so as the Lord Chief Justice's proprietor wore (from his hat down to his boots and up again to his pocket handkerchief inclusive) mildewed clothes which had evidently not belonged to him originally, and which I took it into my head he had bought cheap of the executioner. Under these circumstances I thought myself well rid of him for a shilling.I dropped into the office to ask if Mr. Jaggers had come in yet, and I found he had not, and I strolled out again. This time, I made the tour of Little Britain, and turned into Bartholomew Close; and now I became aware that other people were waiting about for Mr. Jaggers, as well as I. There were two men of secret appearance lounging in Bartholomew Close, and thoughtfully fitting their feet into the cracks of the pavement as they talked together, one of whom said to the other when they first passed me, that “Jaggers would do it if it was to be done.” There was a knot of three men and two women standing at a corner, and one of the women was crying on her dirty shawl, and the other comforted her by saying, as she pulled her own shawl over her shoulders, “Jaggers is for him, 'Melia, and what more could you have?” There was a red-eyed little Jew who came into the Close while I was loitering there, in company with a second little Jew whom he sent upon an errand; and while the messenger was gone, I remarked this Jew, who was of a highly excitable temperament, performing a jig of anxiety under a lamppost and accompanying himself, in a kind of frenzy, with the words, “O Jaggerth, Jaggerth, Jaggerth! all otherth ith Cag-Maggerth, give me Jaggerth!” These testimonies to the popularity of my guardian made a deep impression on me, and I admired and wondered more than ever.At length, as I was looking out at the iron gate of Bartholomew Close into Little Britain, I saw Mr. Jaggers coming across the road towards me. All the others who were waiting saw him at the same time, and there was quite a rush at him. Mr. Jaggers, putting a hand on my shoulder and walking me on at his side without saying anything to me, addressed himself to his followers.First, he took the two secret men.“Now, I have nothing to say to you,” said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at them. “I want to know no more than I know. As to the result, it's a tossup. I told you from the first it was a tossup. Have you paid Wemmick?”“We made the money up this morning, sir,” said one of the men, submissively, while the other perused Mr. Jaggers's face.“I don't ask you when you made it up, or where, or whether you made it up at all. Has Wemmick got it?”“Yes, sir,” said both the men together.“Very well; then you may go. Now, I won't have it!” said Mr. Jaggers, waving his hand at them to put them behind him. “If you say a word to me, I'll throw up the case.”“We thought, Mr. Jaggers—” one of the men began, pulling off his hat.“That's what I told you not to do,” said Mr. Jaggers. “You thought! I think for you; that's enough for you. If I want you, I know where to find you; I don't want you to find me. Now I won't have it. I won't hear a word.”The two men looked at one another as Mr. Jaggers waved them behind again, and humbly fell back and were heard no more.“And now you!” said Mr. Jaggers, suddenly stopping, and turning on the two women with the shawls, from whom the three men had meekly separated—“Oh! Amelia, is it?”“Yes, Mr. Jaggers.”“And do you remember,” retorted Mr. Jaggers, “that but for me you wouldn't be here and couldn't be here?”“O yes, sir!” exclaimed both women together. “Lord bless you, sir, well we knows that!”“Then why,” said Mr. Jaggers, “do you come here?”“My Bill, sir!” the crying woman pleaded.“Now, I tell you what!” said Mr. Jaggers. “Once for all. If you don't know that your Bill's in good hands, I know it. And if you come here bothering about your Bill, I'll make an example of both your Bill and you, and let him slip through my fingers. Have you paid Wemmick?”“O yes, sir! Every farden.”“Very well. Then you have done all you have got to do. Say another word—one single word—and Wemmick shall give you your money back.”This terrible threat caused the two women to fall off immediately. No one remained now but the excitable Jew, who had already raised the skirts of Mr. Jaggers's coat to his lips several times.“I don't know this man!” said Mr. Jaggers, in the same devastating strain: “What does this fellow want?”“Ma thear Mithter Jaggerth. Hown brother to Habraham Latharuth?”“Who's he?” said Mr. Jaggers. “Let go of my coat.”The suitor, kissing the hem of the garment again before relinquishing it, replied, “Habraham Latharuth, on thuthpithion of plate.”“You're too late,” said Mr. Jaggers. “I am over the way.”“Holy father, Mithter Jaggerth!” cried my excitable acquaintance, turning white, “don't thay you're again Habraham Latharuth!”“I am,” said Mr. Jaggers, “and there's an end of it. Get out of the way.”“Mithter Jaggerth! Half a moment! My hown cuthen'th gone to Mithter Wemmick at thith prethent minute, to hoffer him hany termth. Mithter Jaggerth! Half a quarter of a moment! If you'd have the condethenthun to be bought off from the t'other thide—at hany thuperior prithe!—money no object!—Mithter Jaggerth—Mithter—!”My guardian threw his supplicant off with supreme indifference, and left him dancing on the pavement as if it were red hot. Without further interruption, we reached the front office, where we found the clerk and the man in velveteen with the fur cap.“Here's Mike,” said the clerk, getting down from his stool, and approaching Mr. Jaggers confidentially.“Oh!” said Mr. Jaggers, turning to the man, who was pulling a lock of hair in the middle of his forehead, like the Bull in Cock Robin pulling at the bell-rope; “your man comes on this afternoon. Well?”“Well, Mas'r Jaggers,” returned Mike, in the voice of a sufferer from a constitutional cold; “arter a deal o' trouble, I've found one, sir, as might do.”“What is he prepared to swear?”“Well, Mas'r Jaggers,” said Mike, wiping his nose on his fur cap this time; “in a general way, anythink.”Mr. Jaggers suddenly became most irate. “Now, I warned you before,” said he, throwing his forefinger at the terrified client, “that if you ever presumed to talk in that way here, I'd make an example of you. You infernal scoundrel, how dare you tell me that?”The client looked scared, but bewildered too, as if he were unconscious what he had done.“Spooney!” said the clerk, in a low voice, giving him a stir with his elbow. “Soft Head! Need you say it face to face?”“Now, I ask you, you blundering booby,” said my guardian, very sternly, “once more and for the last time, what the man you have brought here is prepared to swear?”Mike looked hard at my guardian, as if he were trying to learn a lesson from his face, and slowly replied, “Ayther to character, or to having been in his company and never left him all the night in question.”“Now, be careful. In what station of life is this man?”Mike looked at his cap, and looked at the floor, and looked at the ceiling, and looked at the clerk, and even looked at me, before beginning to reply in a nervous manner, “We've dressed him up like—” when my guardian blustered out—“What? You will, will you?”(“Spooney!” added the clerk again, with another stir.)After some helpless casting about, Mike brightened and began again:—“He is dressed like a 'spectable pieman. A sort of a pastry-cook.”“Is he here?” asked my guardian.“I left him,” said Mike, “a setting on some doorsteps round the corner.”“Take him past that window, and let me see him.”The window indicated was the office window. We all three went to it, behind the wire blind, and presently saw the client go by in an accidental manner, with a murderous-looking tall individual, in a short suit of white linen and a paper cap. This guileless confectioner was not by any means sober, and had a black eye in the green stage of recovery, which was painted over.“Tell him to take his witness away directly,” said my guardian to the clerk, in extreme disgust, “and ask him what he means by bringing such a fellow as that.”My guardian then took me into his own room, and while he lunched, standing, from a sandwich box and a pocket flask of sherry (he seemed to bully his very sandwich as he ate it), informed me what arrangements he had made for me. I was to go to “Barnard's Inn,” to young Mr. Pocket's rooms, where a bed had been sent in for my accommodation; I was to remain with young Mr. Pocket until Monday; on Monday I was to go with him to his father's house on a visit, that I might try how I liked it. Also, I was told what my allowance was to be—it was a very liberal one—and had handed to me from one of my guardian's drawers, the cards of certain tradesmen with whom I was to deal for all kinds of clothes, and such other things as I could in reason want. “You will find your credit good, Mr. Pip,” said my guardian, whose flask of sherry smelt like a whole caskful, as he hastily refreshed himself, “but I shall by this means be able to check your bills, and to pull you up if I find you outrunning the constable. Of course you'll go wrong somehow, but that's no fault of mine.”After I had pondered a little over this encouraging sentiment, I asked Mr. Jaggers if I could send for a coach? He said it was not worth while, I was so near my destination; Wemmick should walk round with me, if I pleased.I then found that Wemmick was the clerk in the next room. Another clerk was rung down from upstairs to take his place while he was out, and I accompanied him into the street, after shaking hands with my guardian. We found a new set of people lingering outside, but Wemmick made a way among them by saying coolly yet decisively, “I tell you it's no use; he won't have a word to say to one of you;” and we soon got clear of them, and went on side by side.

"if we go back to Roman times..."
When 16 year old, Thomas Oxford, began loading his cart with milk churns, he could never have envisioned the events that would take place later that same day. Thomas was a farm servant living with John Clark, farmer, at a place known as Shuttleworth Hall that still is situated to this day in a place called Hapton. It was around 6.30am in the morning on Saturday, 19th January 1889, when he left the Hall in the usual way, with his milk-cart fully stocked and ready to be delivered by going on his rounds by the way of Cheapside and Burnley Lane. And by half-past nine, he had already finished delivering the milk and had made his towards Elm Street, just off Burnley Lane. Happy that the morning had gone as planned and relatively stress free, Thomas began on his journey back to Shuttleworth Hall when, coming from the direction of Burnley, another boy by the name of William McMenemy met up with him. William, who was a little older and aged 18, was known as "Jimmy" to his friends, as he was rarely ever called by his Christian name of William. "See thee, Tommy, look what a nice hammer I have found" William spoke as he pulled out a joiners hammer from his trouser pocket and handed it over to Thomas. Impressed by the find, Thomas replied, "Ay, give it me." Thomas then offered William two pence for it, but William shook his head and turned down the offer. Thomas placed the hammer into his cart box but no sooner as he had done so, William took it back out, remarking that it would come in useful as he put it into his trousers pocket and covering it with his waistcoat. Both boys then got onto the cart and began to make their ways towards Ashfield Road but had to jump out and walk some way as there was a hill and the horse pulling the cart was beginning to struggle. As they did this, Thomas started to count the weeks earnings from the sale of milk. Nearing the Burnley Spinning and Weaving Company Mill, William hopped back into the cart whilst Thomas carried on walking up to the top of the street. After counting the money, Thomas was about to put it back into his pocket, but William, who had been watching Thomas, said to him he had miscounted. Not sure, Thomas thought he'd better check and so began to recount the money. It would later emerge that Thomas was carrying £2 3s, the equivalent of just over £273 in today's value. Thomas's return journey would normally see him make his way back along Burnley Road before turning right onto what is now known as Manchester Road. He would then normally have passed the Bridge public house before turning left onto Castle Clough lane and then towards Shuttleword Hall farm. However, on this occasion, the two boys, after being talked into it by William, would instead make their way towards a place known as Stone Moor Bottom.

"after sliding headfirst down a cable from the top of St. Paul's"
Early in the morning of Sunday 13 November 1536, a London merchant named Robert Pakington was shot dead crossing Cheapside as he walked to church. It was the first gun crime in London's history. But who pulled the trigger? In a time of religious turmoil, was Pakington's murder perhaps provoked by his outspoken criticism of the clergy?In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb speaks to historian and writer Derek Wilson, whose novel The First Horseman launched a series exploring true, unsolved Tudor crimes.If you're enjoying this podcast and looking for more fascinating Tudor content, then subscribe to our Tudor Tuesday newsletter, here > See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cheapside takes its name from ‘chepe', a Saxon word for a market and was a main thoroughfare of London for much of the city's history possibly from the time of Alfred the Great. In this street was seen trade of all kinds. Eventually it became an avenue for royal processions, such was its importance.

Cead inscríbhinn i nGaeilge amháin a chur ar leac uaighe mná. Multimedia Journalist The highest court in the Church of England has decided to allow Margaret Keane 's family to place an inscription in Irish only on her gravestone. Iriseoir Ilmheán Tá cinneadh déanta ag an chúirt is airde in Eaglais Shasana cead a thabhairt do theaghlach Margaret Keane inscríbhinn i nGaeilge amháin a chur ar leac a huaighe. It was decided to allow the family to engrave "In our hearts forever" on the woman 's slab in the cemetery of St Giles' Church in Exhall near Coventry without any English translation. Cinneadh cead a thabhairt don teaghlach "In ár gcroíthe go deo" a ghreanadh ar leac na mná i reilig Shéipéal Naomh Giles in Exhall in aice le Coventry gan aon aistriúchán Béarla a bheith leis. Margaret Keane, a native of Co Meath, passed away in England in 2018. Cailleadh Margaret Keane, as Co na Mí ó dhúchas, i Sasana in 2018. She was well known in the Gaelic Athletic Association and in the Irish community as a whole. Bhí aithne mhór uirthi i gCumann Lúthchleas Gael agus i measc an phobail Éireannaigh trí chéile thall. The family had appealed against a judge's ruling in a lower ecclesiastical court last year that an English version of the inscription must also be placed on the slab for fear that people might think the Irish language was a political slogan. Bhí achomharc déanta ag an teaghlach in aghaidh rialú breithimh i gcúirt eaglasta níos ísle anuraidh go gcaithfí leagan Béarla den inscríbhinn a chur ar an leac chomh maith ar eagla go gceapfadh daoine gur mana polaitiúil a bhí sa Ghaeilge. The family's attorney claimed that the ruling was discriminatory and that there were inscriptions in Welsh, Latin and Hebrew on other gravestones in the same cemetery with no translations.

At the appeal in the historic St Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside in London city center today, the ecclesiastical court accepted those arguments and the three judges ordered that a translation be provided to the registrar in the local parish.

The winter Landscape appeared before Henry David Thoreau’s eyes, and he captured the transformation in his journal: “At 8.30 a fine snow begins to fall, increasing very gradually, perfectly straight down, till in fifteen minutes, the ground is white, the smooth places first, and thus, the winter landscape is ushered in. And now it is falling thus all the land over, sifting down through the tree-tops in woods, and on the meadow and pastures, where the dry grass and weeds conceal it at first, and on the river and ponds, in which it is dissolved. But in a few minutes, it turns to rain, and so the wintry landscape is postponed for the present.” December 9, 1892 Today is the birthday of the American model Lorraine Collett, born on this day in 1892 in Kansas City, Missouri. At the age of 23, Lorraine worked as a Sun-Maid Raisin girl and wore a blue bonnet with a white blouse and blue piping. Lorraine and the other Sun-Maid girls handed out raisins. In a spectacular marketing stunt, Lorraine even hopped aboard a small plane every day of the festival and tossed raisins into the crowds of people. One Sunday morning, after her mom had set her hair into eight long black curls, Lorraine was outside drying her hair in the warmth of her sunny backyard in Fresno. That afternoon, Lorraine had swapped out her blue bonnet for her mother’s red one. The combination of her silky black curls and the red bonnet in the sunshine made an arresting sight. Coincidentally, a group of raisin coop executives and their wives walked by at that very moment, and they asked Lorraine about the red bonnet. After that day, all the Sun-Maids wore red bonnets, and Lorraine agreed to pose for a watercolor painting. Lorraine and her mom had to rent an apartment in San Francisco for a month to work with the artist Fanny Scafford. All month long, Lorraine posed every day for three hours a day. She held a wooden tray overflowing with grapes while wearing the red bonnet. The portrait ended up as the symbol for the company and was included on the cover of every box of raisins. One newspaper article about the story in 1978 had the headline “Hair A-glinting in the Sun Made Girl an Emblem.” After many years, the painting ended up in Lorraine’s possession. Later on, Lorraine returned the watercolor to the company. Today, the portrait hangs in a conference room at the Sun-Maid Growers plant. And the faded red bonnet was donated to the Smithsonian by the company in honor of Sun Maid's 75th Anniversary. December 9, 1913 Today is the birthday of the lawyer, politician, diplomat, scholar, photographer, award-winning gardener, writer, and spy Peter Smithers. Peter learned to love gardening as a little boy. One of his earliest memories came when he was four years old and planted mustard seeds with his nanny. He said, “She was quite aware of a child's inability to wait long for anything. Instead of having me plant a bulb, which would have taken weeks to appear above ground, she handed me mustard seeds that popped up the next day. I was hooked for life.” Incredibly, in his adult life, Peter inspired the fictional character of James Bond. Peter’s 2006 obituary alluded to his past as a spy and politician when it stated that: "Flowers were ... important to him. [He said] "I regard gardening and planting as the other half of life, a counterpoint to the rough and tumble of politics." Once he turned 50, as his days in politics came to an end, Peter devoted himself to gardening. Rhododendrons, magnolias, tree peonies, lilies, and wisteria were his favorite flowers. In keeping with Ruth Stout’s approach, Peter strived, to develop a garden that didn't require a ton of work. He wrote: “The garden is planted to reduce labor to an absolute minimum as the owner grows older.” Peter's travels to gardens worldwide inspired the Royal Horticulture Society to ask him to write a gardening memoir. The book was a part-autobiography and part-garden book. Peter said: "I consider every plant hardy until I have killed it myself." In 1986, regarding his late-blooming career as a floral photographer, Peter said, “I still don't think of myself as a photographer. I'm a gardener with a camera. I have always said that gardeners are by far the most dangerous animals to be found in a garden because we all tend to over-garden. When I have a camera in my hands, I am less likely to make trouble.” Unearthed Words Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale gessamine, The white pink, and the pansy freaked with jet, The glowing violet, The musk-rose, and the well-attired woodbine, With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head, And every flower that sad embroidery wears: Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffadillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the laureate hearse where Lycid lies. — John Milton, English poet and intellectual, Lycidas Notes: December 9, 1608 Today is the birthday of the English poet and intellectual John Milton. Born in Cheapside in London, Milton is best known for his books Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. John’s Lycidas is a pastoral elegy. John dedicated the work to the memory of his friend, Edward King, who drowned when his ship sank off the coast of Wales in August 1637. John’s Lycidas poem mentions many different flowers he imagined to be thrown at the hearse of his friend Edward King. The tufted crow-toe is likely a reference to the English Bluebell, gessamine is Jasmine. The white pink refers to Dianthus, and the woodbine is usually a reference to Honeysuckle. Still, it could also be a reference to a generic vining blossom. Amaranthus is perhaps a reference to Love-Lies-Bleeding. See if you can catch all eleven of the flowers mentioned in John's poem. Grow That Garden Library The History of Landscape Design in 100 Gardens by Linda A. Chisholm This book came out in 2018, and I must say that the cover of this book is memorable and gorgeous. In this book, Linda explores how society, politics, and money influenced the creation of 100 gardens in history. Naturally, Linda’s book is organized chronologically and by theme, starting with the medieval garden Alhambra and ending with the modern naturalism of the Lurie Garden. Like the beautiful cover, this entire book is lavishly illustrated. Linda is a master at making garden history both fascinating and memorable. An evocative storyteller and a lover of detail, Linda’s book is beautifully written. Linda’s insights into history and garden design help everyday gardeners appreciate the evolution of gardens over time. If you’ve ever studied Landscape Design on your own or in a classroom and left feeling uninspired and bored, Linda’s book will provide the guidance and insight you’ve been waiting for all along. Every gardener and garden designer should have this book because, as Linda advises, we should “draw freely from the past.” This book is 536 pages of a must-have reference for gardeners, garden designers, history-lovers, and even travelers with a desire to see and understand gardens and garden history in an enlightened and informed way.

Chisholm and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $22 Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart December 9, 1969 On this day, The Daily Times in Salisbury, Maryland, shared a story by Kelvin Adkins called Mrs. Zieger Has Some Sweet Ideas For Sweet Potatoes. The article explained: “Mrs. Peyton Zieger is one of those persons who always has a project of some sort going. Frequently the project turns into some excuse to have a houseful of friends over. But this particular episode started with a yellow jacket's nest and a banged-up knee. Peyton was working on a neighborhood beautification project (a flower garden nearly as long as the street) and disturbed the yellow jackets. Bugging out in a hurry, two yellow jackets hit her with such stinging force, she fell and bruised her knee. While off of her feet for a few days, she thought of [hosting a sweet] potato party and started putting the recipes and details together.” Now when I was researching Peyton, I discovered she was an avid gardener. Peyton had planted a “ditch bank” at her home that she called “Peyton Place.” The ditch bank was planted with shrubs and flowers to provide interest and color throughout the year. Peyton was ahead of her time. Concerning sweet potatoes, Peyton had two chief concerns. She said, “Number one, it really hurt me when I read in the paper about the local farmers having to plow up their sweet potatoes because of the low market. And number two, many housewives think there are only three ways to prepare sweet potatoes: candied yams, potato bread, and potato pies.” So, as the article said, Peyton “decided to yam it up with a sweet potato tasting party.” Peyton called the party "Peyton Presents Some Sweet Ideas" and invited, “some fifty home economists, housewives, and Twin Tree Road neighbors to judge the recipes. There were a few newspaper and radio people there too.“ Peyton prepared some 25 recipes and started the party off with her own creation: sweet potato punch. For this libation, Peyton was inspired by a recipe from the Ecuadorian Embassy - no kidding. The party's overwhelming favorite was Peyton’s sweet potato cheesecake, which captured a local bakery's attention. Peyton pointed out that every time her sweet potato cheesecake is made, a farmer has a market for ¾ cup of potatoes. Peyton was doing her part. In addition to her cheesecake, Peyton made, “Sweet potato pineapple pie, sweet potato pudding, pineapple sweet potato balls, sweet potato pecan pie, triple apple sweet potato cake, and sweet potato candy, to name a few.” And as a party favor, Peyton sent every guest home with a printed recipe book featuring all of her sweet potato creations. Peyton Zieger’s Sweet Potato Cheesecake 1 box cheesecake mix ½ cup sour cream ¾ cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes (cold) 3 T baby food apricots 1 T lemon juice ½ tsp vanilla ⅛ tsp mace ⅓ cup milk Mix all ingredients except cheesecake mix and blend thoroughly. Add cheesecake mix and beat 3 minutes until thick. Pour into a crumb crust prepared according to directions. Reserve a few crumbs to sprinkle on top or top with sour cream. Sour Cream Topping: Mix together: ½ cup sour cream 1 T sugar 4 tsp vanilla Spread on top of cheesecake. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Chill 2 hours or more. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Un épisode qui s’adresse à tous les fans de la série Peaky Blinders. Les Peaky Blinders ont ils existé ? Est-ce que derrière ces gangsters stylés d'Angleterre se cachent de vrais personnages bien réels ? Une Petite Histoire de La Fabrik Audio présentée par Florent Mounier. Nous sommes dans la cité ouvrière de Birmingham juste après la 1ere guerre mondiale. La série Peaky Blinders suit les aventures de la famille Shelby qui est leader d'un gang, le gang des Peaky Blinders. Un gang qui … a vraiment existé. Tout a commencé dans l'Angleterre victorienne qui se situe entre 1837 et 1901. A cette époque, la misère était omniprésente. Une misère qui a été décrite par de nombreux auteurs de l’époque. Par exemple, dans les œuvres de Charles Dickens. Les milieux ouvriers étaient particulièrement touchés par la pauvreté, il y avait beaucoup de maladies, il y avait aussi des problèmes de surpopulation. Bref les temps étaient durs ! La seule solution qui existait pour les ouvriers pour qu’ils survivent, c’était de travailler, et le travail c’était l’usine ! Mais les places étaient chères dans les usines ! Très chères ! Et c’est donc dans ce contexte que des gangs violents sont apparus à partir des années 1870, notamment à Birmingham. Le premier gang qui s’est fait connaître se faisait appelé Cheapside Sloggers, "Les Cogneurs du Cheapside". Un gang qui s’adonnait au racket, au vol, à la bagarres, bref, … avec eux on jouait pas au ping pong. Un jour, en 1880, un journal local de Birmingham annonce qu’un nouveau gang vient d’être créé, un gang qui se ferait appeler les Peaky Blinders, qu’on pourrait traduire par "Les Aveugleurs à Visière". Le nom n'est évidemment pas choisi par hasard, puisqu’il correspond à l'accessoire porté par tous les gangsters anglais de l'époque : la casquette. Une casquette qu’ils utilisaient pour dissimuler des lames de rasoir, justement dans les rebords de la visière. Alors, dans le gang des Peaky Blinders qui a donc bel et bien existé, je vous demande d’accueillir Fowler, Bayles, McHickie, et Charles Lambourne. Que faisait ce gang ? Et bien les activités habituelles de gangsters. Ils étaient dans la rue, ils faisaient du marché noir, ils commettaient des vols, des agressions. Par contre, dans la série on voit qu’il est question de politique avec notamment le personnage de Thomas Shelby. Dans la réalité, pas d’ambitions politiques pour les membres des Peaky Blinders qui étaient plus intéressés par la violence et l’action que par le fait de manigancer des petits coups de … politiciens ! Dans la série on voit qu’ils ont de très jolies tenues, avec des bottes pour cacher leurs armes, des pantalons amples pour cacher leurs armes, des écharpes pour cacher leurs armes, des longs manteaux pour cacher leurs armes et des pantalons à pattes d'éléphant pour cacher leurs armes, alors que la mode du disco n’était pas encore arrivée. Dans la réalité les peaky Blinders étaient vêtus de la même manière semble t il. Donc la série reconstitue vraiment bien tout ça ! Dans la réalité toujours, les Peaky Blinders n’ont pas duré très longtemps, puisque le gang s’est fait dépasser vers 1910 par les Birmingham Boys Franchement ça ferait un soupe nom de boysband ça, je dis ça je dis rien ! Ensuite y a un autre clan qui a débarqué , les Sabini et là ça faisait vraiment trop pour 3 clans donc les quelques Peaky Blinders restants ont dû s'exiler à la campagne pour rester en vie! Et si vous vous souvenez bien de la série, il y a un personnage qui s’appelle Sabini, personnage qui mène une vendetta contre les Shelby dans la saison 4. C’est un peu ça qui est arrivé en vrai ! Bref, la série Peakly Blinders s’inspire de nombreux faits réels pour la série ! Et si vous n’avez pas encore maté cette série je ne peux que vous recommander de le faire ! Voilà pour cette petite histoire ! Si vous l’avez aimée, n’hésitez pas à la commenter et à la partager su les réseaux sociaux !

While the title alone should be enough to pique your interest, we devote this entire episode to the “finer” points of Middleton's A Chaste Maid In Cheapside because we want you to love it as much as we do. We introduce a new 101 feature, “A Taste of Text,” in which we read the shortest scene in the play to give you a sense of its linguistic flavor; we re-introduce the contemporary, Thomas Middleton; we give you a fast and furious summary of this goofy city comedy as well as a LOT of dramaturgical background for all the allusions it contains; we play a round of Line Roulette; and Jess talks about a Haley Bachrach article on the play Six. Gird your loins and summon your Gossips because it's an action-packed episode!
!!!WE SKIPPED A RECORDING SESSION!!! Here's the Recap! Following the terrifying supernatural events at Professor Smith’s house, Dr Haas is shocked toreceive a note, ostensibly from the Profesor himself. After dispatching telegrams to the others,they meet at a ramshackle apartment in Cheapside. A visibly shaken Beddows meets the Investigators and lets them into the apartment. In thebedarkened bedroom sits a severely burned Professor Smith. While his voice and strength holdout, the Professor croaks out a vital warning and message to the Investigators -- that he wasstudying an artifact of immense power and evil and must have tipped off the wrong people. Heurges them to locate an object called the Sedefkar Simalcrum and a document called theSedefkar scrolls which detail how to destroy the Simalcrum. The Simalcrum must be locatedand sent to a location in Constantinople to be destroyed. Father Kane goes to the British Library the next day and his research ends with a gristlydiscovery: a man, whose skin was totally removed, was left in the library with a note attached(written in a foreign language) from a patch of the man’s own skin. Meanwhile, the papers contain the story of a Mehmet Mekryat who apparently died three timesthe same night as the fire. Fearing there must be some connection, the Investigators go to thecity morgue to look at the bodies. All three Mekryats look identical to each other. Dr Haassearches London’s antique dealers for any possible leads to Mekryat. There he meets anantiquarian by the name of Daniel Baker and gets the address to Mekryat’s antiques shop. Heheads over to the shop and telephones Reginald so they may approach it together.

In this episode Kate makes a serious confession, and we try to figure out if The Trouble With Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon is set in an avenue or a cul-de-sac.

We spoke to local musician DeBraun Thomas about his campaign to remove 2 confederate statues from Cheapside Pavillion and replace a plaque which noted the history of the area. Cheapside was one of the largest slave auction blocks in the south and residents have been fighting for accurate representation of history in the space for nearly a year now. We discuss the events that led DeBraun to take matters into his own hands and begin working to educate the people of Lexington. We also talk with him about the connections between his organizing work and his music. Song: All My Colors Are Blind by DeBraun Thomas You can find more information about DeBraun and his music here. www.facebook.com/DeBraunThomasMusic/ Interview by Stacie Sexton.
