TOO RISQUE TO BE PART OF THE SHOW – Judy unveils Hoxton

No market in Hoxton Market and hasn’t been since the 1700s – where theatres were first built – smelt awful, mixture of unwashed bodies and fumes from the gaslights – “she sits among the cabbages and pease” – too risque to be part of the show – destroyed by bombing – From dust comes light and power – fire-eating – just a ten-minute stroll from the City of London – flower nurseries – the Gunpowder Plot

    I was recommended listening to this by a member of my family who lives in the area. I found it absolutely fascinating and have learnt such a lot in a short space of time. Amazing how many people could enjoy the music hall! I thought the reader really brought the area to life. Many thanks.

    Many thanks, Eva. In full agreement here, of course. That’s our Judy. Absolutely one of the brightest stars in the London Walks constellation.
