London: Crosses of Remembrance in Victorian Murders
January 10, 201427mEpisode 9
Show Notes
Amidst the cobblestones of Victorian London, crosses of remembrance stand silent witness to gruesome murders—buried truths... As the 'Throwaways' series finale unfolds, we delve into London's shadows, confronting how society remembers—or forgets—the victims of history's darkest crimes. Amidst the bustling streets, forgotten voices echo. This episode examines the intersection of memory and justice in Victorian London, revealing how some victims were memorialized, while others were marginalized. At the heart of London's industrial rise, James Whitmore lived a carefree life before meeting a tragic fate. By examining cases like these, we attempt to right historical oversight. The dense layers of 19th-century London—from societal hierarchies to prevailing norms—often determined who was remembered and who was forgotten. This narrative invites us to reassess the fairness of remembrance. As we close the book on Season 1, listeners will hear the poignant tales of overlooked lives and their marks on history. Discover how simple crosses speak volumes of justice denied. --- Support Foul Play: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/foulplaypodcast Website: https://www.mythsandmalice.com/show/foul-play/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foul-play-crime-series/id1525832703 Follow us: Instagram: @foulplaycrimeseries Twitter: @foulplaypod
