Podcast appearances and mentions of london stone

In this episode, which is the 3rd in Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he takes a look at one of the city's lesser-known bridges – Cannon Street Railway Bridge, one side of which was first built in a medieval steelyard, (not what you think it is). Danny also shares the connection between the oldest known monument in London, Alfred the Great, Shakespeare, candle-makers, and Oswald Mosely. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cannon Street was the first street to run through the City of London. The name Cannon Street has nothing to do with armaments. The area was especially important during Roman times. It is the site of the London Stone, which possibly dates back to Druid times. The London Stone is said by some to be the stone Arthur drew Excalibur from. The railway station hotel is where both the Congress of the Communist Party of Great Britain and the New Party, which became British Union of Fascists were founded. BEST MOMENTS ‘In Roman times, Cannon Street was the heart of ancient Londinium. ´ ‘London will flourish as long as the stone remains in the city.' ‘As a result, his head was mounted on London Bridge afterwards.'   EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.citybridgefoundation.org.uk/ 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. Danny continues his Unusual Histories podcast with the Bridge Series, remaining in London travelling east to west to look at the bridges which span the Thames. He looks at their design, construction and history, along with the history of the areas in which they're located on both sides of the river. This series kicks off with an exclusive interview with Dirk Bennett of the City Bridge Foundation, the organisation which looks after London's bridges. Tower Bridge is marking its 130th anniversary this month and Dirk talks to Danny about the history of the bridge as well as the new exhibition that is opening for it. If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

Stone Temple Pilots helped define the grunge-ridden days of the 1990s with their big downtuned riffs and lyrics soaked in heroin resin. Riding the wave from Seattle, their debut album Core sold over 8 million copies in the US alone. The record company couldn't wait to get more STP out into the market so in November 1993 they released the live Unplugged album featuring the new song Big Empty. Vocalist/lyricist Scott Weiland was a charismatic and troubled performer, writing lyrics about fear, self-loathing and ruined relationships built on his addiction to heroin. But STP were more than just a grunge band as Dean and Robert De Leo wrote great songs full of melody and cool changes in tempo and delivery. Purple, their second effort, included songs like Interstate Love Song and Vaseline scored high on the charts and while some of the songs were definitely grungy (Meatplow), they showed they can deliver a straight-ahead rockers (Unglued) and lighter songs with heavy themes. The album went to #1 in the US and would go on to sell over 6 million copies. While the UK were enthralled with the Cool Britannia acts like Oasis, Blur and The Verve, hard rock and grunge bands took over the US and Stone Temple Pilots were among the most successful. But were they really a grunge band? Did Weiland have talent beyond the creativity that flowed from his narcotic visions? Were they a band of the time or of all time? The Wolf and Action Jackson tackle those questions and relive some grungy days in the dorm with Purple as it turns 30.

No one knows exactly where the London Stone came from, but in the medieval and early modern periods it was an important symbolic place, as well as a way of marking out addresses in the city.

In William Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 2, the character Jack Cade declares himself Lord Mortimer of London by striking London Stone and then sitting upon the stone to declare his royalty. While it makes a dramatic scene for a theatrical play, this story was based in actual history and the way Shakespeare tells the story tells us as modern theater goers something interesting about the Tudor opinion of the real Jack Cade that was present as Shakespeare was writing. While Shakespeare seems to base his plays, and his portrayal of Jack Cade, on the history of Holinshed’s Chronicles, there are some first hand accounts of people who witnessed Jack Cade’s procession into London from actual history, as well as some variances between Shakespeare’s quarto and folio versions of Henry VI Part 2 which shine light on exactly what Shakespeare thought about his colorful figure from English history.    London Stone that Jack Cade chooses to strike as he declares himself Lord of the city was more than just a passing fictional narrative by Shakespeare. The real London Stone was a major landmark for England, with native travellers using it in a similar fashion to how Big Ben is used today--people all over the world not only recognized this stop in London as a representative of England herself, but many foreign dignitaries from the 16th century went out of their way to visit London Stone as an important stop on their visit to the city. Here today to walk us through some of the portraits of Jack Cade from Shakespeare’s lifetime as well as additional items from the Medieval Collections at the Museum of London to tell us the real story of London Stone and its place in the popular culture from Shakespeare’s lifetime is our guest, John Clark

After a decade working in London Pollyanna nee Polly Wilkinson, graduated with distinction from the English Gardening School in 2017 and now runs her garden design practice from her studio near Hampton Court, working on gardens across Surrey and London. Her conceptual garden 'A Very Modern Problem’ at Hampton Court Flower Show will be her first show garden. On this episode of The Sodshow garden podcast, Peter Donegan speaks with Polly to find out why. And there are very many of them. The Sodshow is available every Friday in iTunes, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.com That garden, A Very Modern Problem sponsored by Worx Landroid Robotic Mowers - portrays the way social media can misrepresent the truth and create conflicting feelings of inspiration and inadequacy. On one side of the space is an attractive, unachievable and impractical garden, representing the filtered reality we expose ourselves to online. A smartphone divides the space and opposing this image is disorganised, unremarkable reality, weeds and all. Contributors to the garden include: Burnham Landscaping, Conquest Creative Spaces, Screen with Envy, London Stone, Loknan Architectural, Harrowden Turf, Raw Studio, Adam Christopher, Hortus Loci, Palms Exotics, Perpex Distribution Ltd, Garsons, Blooming Artificial Further info: web: www.pollyannawilkinson.com twitter: @PollyannaWGD fb: PollyannaWilkinsonGardenDesign Much thanks for listening X Twitter: @sodshow facebook: The Sodshow instagram: sodshow

While it seems clear to many of us that the deeper we dig into the closed door activities of the elite, the more deranged and disturbed they seem. With rumors of ritualistic blood sacrifice and sex-capades ensnaring these nefarious circles for as long as can be remembered, it should come as no surprise that today's author and returning guest, Tracy Twyman, joins The Higherside with another slice of this strange pie to dissect. As the author of several books, including "Money Grows on the Tree of Knowledge", and "Baphomet: The Mystery Unveiled", Twyman is no stranger to the atrocities of the aristocrats and with the release of her fist novel, Tracy puts a new twist on the depraved traditions obserrved by elites for centuries. 3:15 Wasting no time, Greg and Tracy begin by discussing the inspiration behind her first novel, "Genuflect." With current events echoing many of the darker ritualistic themes through her book, Tracy walks through the research behind her writing, the line between fact and fiction, and the parallels among her work, key public figures, such as Michael Bloomberg, and historic landmarks like London's ancient Temple of Mithras. 15:42 Greg and Tracy discuss the esoteric significance of the specific district, The City of London, in her book. On top of the Temple of Mithras and Bloomberg's impending London headquarters, Twyman theorizes it's close proximity to important financial buildings may be meaningful. She also discusses the London Stone, the sovereignty of The City of London,  the New Court Rothschild Bank, and the many underground rivers that flow beneath the city. 28:21 After covering the sagas of Cybele and Mithras, Tracy elaborates on the similarities she has found between them and the work of Jessie Weston and Franz Cumond. 37:30 Greg and Tracy discuss the agenda and motive of the elite. Tracy details her research into The O.T.O, their rituals, the writings of Aleister Crowley, and her extensive knowledge of alchemy.

John Clark, for many years curator of the medieval collections at the Museum of London and now ‘Curator Emeritus', has long been interested in the interplay between history, archaeology and legend in the story of London, from the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth to the burial of Boadicea under King's Cross station. In this talk he investigates the ‘real' story of London Stone, in Cannon Street, and the way in which myths have developed around it in the last 150 years. Doors 7pm. Recorded at The Bell, Middlesex Street. East London.
