Today's the birthday of #CharlesDickens who was #BOTD in 1812, 213 years ago!
#Dickens often depicts #ChildPoverty in #VictorianEngland, as does this new book by Lynn Hamilton on the reality of impoverished kids like #OliverTwist in #VictorianHistory -
Watching (recorded) “Inside the Factory” looking at Guinness in Dublin. And I just uttered immortal words “My ancestors were frequently drunk and disorderly in Victorian Dublin”. Which I know thanks to Irish prison registers, which also tell me what my ancestors looked like. Even if there remains uncertainty over which eye my gg-granddad was missing! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ireland #Dublin #Prisons #Crime #NineteenthCentuty #VictorianHistory #Guinness #Drink #Alcohol #TV #BritishTV #Prisoners

CW: Victorian alcohol abuse
I was in tears doing this wks #podcast. CW #Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie sounds absolutely desperate + pours out her heart to Fred who's a 100 miles away in #Middlesbrough. Fred later speculates that the reason Emma is being so cruel to Janie is because she is 'a little envious'. I'd go so far to say she's absolutely green w envy. It seems so very unfair.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together.
