Podcasts about liverpool street station

In this episode, the 25th in Danny Hurst´s British Monopoly History series we reach the last of the stations on the London-themed board - Liverpool Street Station. Built on the site of a notorious lunatic asylum, the state of which gave the English-speaking world a new word to describe a chaotic, disordered situation. Danny explains the station´s connection to the Knights Templar, Paul McCartney, the Kindertransport, the world wars and how the IRA figured not once but twice in its history. He also explains why savvy Monopoly players buy as many stations as possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS The street is named after Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson, who was also an ether addict. Liverpool Street Station is the main London terminus for the Great Eastern Railway. The 1st hotel to be built in the city is here. The station has been impacted by terrorist offences twice in its recent history. Broad Street was demolished instead of Liverpool Street. BEST MOMENTS ‘It was notorious as one of the worst excesses of lunatic asylums. ´ ‘Thousands arrived at Liverpool Street, the majority never seeing their families again.'   EPISODE RESOURCES Shop for all official versions of Monopoly here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/785DC233-0A69-4DF8-98E9-4F50CC50A59E HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

James Joyce. That was me at school as well. Ironically, I ended up becoming a historian. The Unusual Histories podcast is all about the history you don't learn at school, nor indeed anywhere else. Discover things that you didn't know that you didn't know, fascinating historical luminaries and their vices and addictions, and the other numerous sides of every story. We start with the Monopoly Series, in which we explore how the game came to be, the real-life connection between the cheapest and most expensive properties, the history of each location, how proportionate the values were then and are today, what the hell a "community chest" is and whether free parking really does exist anywhere in London.  If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

Anthony Constantinou is the Wolf Of Bond Street. In 2014, still only 33, he began an elaborate Ponzi scheme from posh offices in Heron Tower — the 40 storey glass and steel icon that looms over Liverpool Street Station. Once word got out that his ‘Special Fund' was paying five per cent returns a month — 60 per cent a year — he wasn't shy of investors. One woman had cancer: her insurance had paid out, so rather than buy her mother a house as she'd originally planned, she was convinced to put the whole lot into the Special Fund. Somehow, many retired Gurkhas were convinced to throw their life's savings in with him. Backstage of this elaborate hoax, Constantinou was living high on other people's cash. He had his own Moto GP team, and sponsored the London Boat Show. He blew through £2.3 million just on his wedding. He spent £70 000 on his baby's first birthday party. And he rented a house on the Bishop's Avenue that cost more to rent in a year than most London houses are worth. By the time the cops burst through his doors of Heron Tower, The Wolf had hoovered up some £70 million of other people's money. His trial took years to get to court — in part because he first had to be tried on charges of sexual assault. But in June of 2023, after eight weeks of argument, a jury finally reached a verdict. This is the story of how that trial played out, from the mouths of Britain's top team of court reporters — the staff of Court News UK.And it's the even more shocking story of what happened after the trial had concluded.

In this bumper episode, BALI Grand Award winners, Maylim managing director and owner Thomas O'Mahony, and business development director Alistair Bayford reflect on the accomplishment and the project that won them the top honours. O'Mahony puts the win down to the complex logistics of the Exchange Square project, which sits on a podium above Liverpool Street Station. He and Bayford explore these elements which would see the slightest movement from the slabs above halt the trains below. These complex engineering projects are Maylim's bread and butter, though, as Bayford explains: “here you see everyone running away, we run towards. It's in our DNA.”O'Mahony talks about Triton Square one of the projects on Maylim's books which might be seen at future BALI Awards, which is adding upping the 'green' in a 'grey' landscape:“20 years ago public realm was more hard landscaping, and more grey.” Bayford adds: “Now it's a complex mix of seating spaces within soft areas. Primarily designed to get people to stay, and to eat, and to gather. All public realm is starting to go that way. There are benefits everywhere.”Though there is worry that biodiversity net gain will become a tick boxing exercise, O'Mahony says Maylim's clients don't have that mindset. Bayford also hopes that it will be a catalyst for long term commitments in green infrastructure. Celebrating 20 years of success last year, O'Mahony also touches on Maylim's values: “From the outset of what I dreamed the company to be, it's a brand that looks good, feels good, delivers good quality work and our saying is ‘We never leave a bad job behind'.” He adds: “We never set ourselves to grow to a certain turnover [...] we just love what we do.”The focus for the next 20 years, Bayford explains, will be the environment and Maylim's carbon reduction journey as well as addressing the diversity conundrum and the skills shortage.Addressing the recruitment challenge, O'Mahony says looking after the existing staff is key, so “hopefully then the murmur goes round that ‘these people look after you'.”O'Mahony and Bayford also introduce new venture, Maylim Landscapes, which will specialise in the soft landscaping side of the business. “The last 12 months have been as challenging as I've seen,” O'Mahony tells us, as he explores the difficulties around material shortages and price increases. Now, he explains they go in with an open mind at a tender stage, with some prices they can fix and some they know they can't. Bayford says he feels they have “flushed out the worst of that inflationary risk.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When 42 bodies buried near Liverpool Street Station in London were dug up as part of the works on Crossrail on 12th August, 2015, they were thought to be victims of the Great Plague of 1665. The incident shone a light on the cemetery in which they were buried - a pauper's grave at Bethlem Hospital; the institution more commonly known as ‘Bedlam'. From its establishment in 1247, Bedlam ‘lunatic asylum' quickly gained a reputation as a place that was pioneering - it was the only mental health facility in Britain - and fearsome, a place of stigma and spectacle. The public could pay to tour the facility and have pisspots thrown at them. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how the abuses perpetrated at Bedlam still have echoes in modern-day surgery; look back at the first formal inspection of the premises; and consider why ‘Bedlam' has become so resonant in literature from Shakespeare to Dickens…  CONTENT WARNING: description of unsanitary conditions and patient abuse; reference to out-dated and pejorative language about mental health Further Reading: • ‘London Crossrail Dig At Bedlam Reveals 'Great Plague Victims' Were Buried In Thin Wooden Coffins' (HuffPost UK, 2015): https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/08/12/london-crossrail-excavators-skeletons-great-plague_n_7976488.html • ‘How Bethlem Royal Hospital Became The Notorious Bedlam Asylum' (All Thats Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/bedlam • ‘Skeletons from Bedlam Hospital site uncovered by Crossrail' (Daily Mail, 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obXO60iOyLM For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/Retrospectors We'll be back on Monday!

Maria Rumsey is an outstanding teacher and headteacher. Indeed I think of her as education royalty! She has achieved so much as a teacher and headteacher. She does this by always putting people first and she trusts her intuition to decide what is right and what is the best thing to do. She is a refreshing presence in the educational world, as she does not feel bound by Government or Ofsted diktats, but always weighs up whether a change will benefit the people rather than simply tick a box. Visiting her school is a wonderful, enriching experience. In her last SIAMS report, the inspector stated that Maria's impact in a short space of time had been transformational. And she does that everywhere she goes! In this podcast we talk about ... How great teaching can change the lives of all children for the better The role of creative arts in developing the confidence of those who are seen as less academic and how this improves their learning in all areas The importance of mutual respect between teacher and child Why a broad and balanced curriculum is essential to provide a great education for children and how it raises standards How truly believing in children's potential maximises their ability to succeed The excitement of topping the bill performing a musical that she and her children wrote at the reopening of Liverpool Street Station in front of the Queen The feeling of responsibility you have on your first day as a teacher, especially when the parents think you are too young to be teaching their children The value of having staff who encourage and support you and avoiding those who make unnecessary judgements; find the ones who are happy to offer guidance and advice Why your classroom organisation must not be allowed to dictate the children's learning

Oliver Cromwell once described English land law as “an ungodly jumble”. More than 350 years later, Dag Detter has a similar view of the way cities and countries value what they own. Their property and assets represent two times global GDP – almost twice the size of equity capital markets. Grouped in public wealth funds, they could release capital equal to 3% of annual GDP – $600bn in the US – for vital infrastructure spending.The fundamental problem, according to Detter, is that the public sector globally still uses cash accounting. This is a medieval method long left behind in the private sector by the accrual accounting innovation that helped develop capital markets, limited liability companies and the industrial revolutions that catapulted The Netherlands and Britain beyond Italian city states, funding transatlantic adventures and burgeoning empires.Detter, a Swedish former investment banker at BZE, Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas, now runs an eponymous corporate advisory consultancy advising on unlocking value from public assets and is not impressed with what he finds. “The public sector has no clue what it owns,” he says. “It doesn't have a balance sheet for its infrastructure, so doesn't understand what's coming in and what's going out. If you operated like this as a company or private individual, you'd probably go to jail.”Britain is a particularly egregious example. “They can't even find their real estate a lot of the time,” groans Detter. There's no Land Registry record of London's Liverpool Street Station and countless other pre-war public buildings, because they haven't changed hands in the last 50 years. “It's very convenient. If something isn't on the balance sheet, nobody will care to manage it. No-one will make sure you're using it in the best possible way.”Detter believes this led to Britain privatising its water utilities so cheaply in 1989. With century-old pipes leaking up to half their contents, the vast state borrowings needed to finance urgent investment were politically unacceptable. “The balance sheet wasn't connected to the profit and loss account and the budget, so the Government privatised the water utilities for next to nothing,” he says. “If it had a proper balance sheet, it could have carried out maintenance and registered at market value the increase in the value of the assets, which would be higher than the debt incurred. The Government would have looked like the prudent owner of a commercial asset.”Detter also criticises local authorities borrowing heavily from central government as well as paying top prices for commercial real estate without possessing institutions that can manage risk with proper accounting, capacity and professional management. “Governments throughout the world don't have that,” he says, pointing to Croydon Council in South London, which is facing effective bankruptcy after a series of property deals. The result is an awkward engagement with private capital through public-private partnerships. In Britain, Detter says the Private Finance Initiative has “screwed up and transferred undue wealth to the private sector”.No change of ownership needs to take place. Assets would simply be “placed into relevant packages” in public wealth funds operating as holding companies and using private sector accounting standards and transparency and governance models. Government-owned property would constitute two-thirds of the assets, with the remainder coming from operational assets, such as water and electricity utilities and public transportation systems. A report co-authored by Detter for University College London Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, published in November, suggested separate public wealth funds for public venture capital, climate change mitigation and environmental protection and regional and urban economies. The cost to the public sector in the UK example is put at a maximum of 0.12% of GDP – £2.7bn a year.Public wealth funds are not a new idea. In Europe, they have been utilised in various different ways in Austria, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Greece. In Asia, they have been spectacularly successful in Singapore. In the US, Detter says they could enable a city like Boston, with reported assets in 2014 of $3.8bn, including just $1.4bn of property, to leverage hidden wealth of $55bn in its real estate alone. He says accounting for market value at current use is “the first step towards quality asset management”. The next stage involves understanding the returns that could be earned on such trapped value.Detter was drawn into the public sector in the 1990s, helping restructure his nation's public assets as president of the Swedish government holding company, Stattum,. “It helped save Sweden from bankruptcy,” he says. He went on to advise private equity group Terra Firma Capital Partners and consulting firms McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. “Financially, this is not rocket science,” he says. “It's very simple, but politically it's incredibly hard to do, unless you have a crisis, because it's all about political will. In the private sector, the game's about holding people responsible to deliver a certain result within a defined time. Politics is about promising things that can never be quantified.”“Whole of government accounts” have not helped much. “They don't include real estate and are published nine months after the fact, which means they're completely useless,” says Detter. “It's information that's nice to know, but you can't make decisions with it. It's like publishing English Premier League scores six months after matches have been played. Who cares? But nearly all governments do their accounting this way.”Except for New Zealand. This nation of 5m people manages its public assets “brilliantly,” according to Detter, publishing monthly public finance statements plus five and ten-year forecasts before elections or major policy decisions. Any policy suggestions in the run-up to an election are matched against forecast statements on the balance sheet. “The balance sheet comprises all the assets at market value, not historical value,” says Detter. “If Britain did things New Zealand's way, the discussion around Brexit would have been completely different. Instead of using silly numbers, arguments would have been based on net worth.”COVID-19 is an even better example. “One of the reasons New Zealand could act so quickly was because it could measure accurately, taking quick and hard action in the knowledge of whether it would pay off and whether it had the money to pay for it,” says Detter. “The Western world is going to be shocked and paralysed by debt incurred to fight COVID-19. Creating public wealth funds are one way of releasing capital without raising additional taxes or returning to austerity.”The idea may be catching on. With Citigroup seeing a need for global infrastructure spending of $58.6 trillion over the next decade, its special economic adviser Willem Buiter believes public wealth funds “make economic sense”. Financial Times commentator Martin Wolf adds that they're “an idea whose time has come.” Corralling capital in this way may be particularly suitable for governments determined to ‘level up' regional inequalities and ‘build back better' after COVID-19. “I've been trying to do this for the last 20 years and you could say it's been with limited success,” says Detter. Now this man from the nation of the midnight sun may get his moment in the limelight.

How does it feel to be an immigrant in a fast-changing world, and what effect does that initial separation have? Touching on universal topics from love, to loss, to fitting in, this show combines humour with poignance and some classic songs – oh, and it’s also entirely set on the tube!
