Reanimated! The shocking fate of George Foster (1769-1803)
A frozen canal held a terrible secret. Drawing on parish registers and workhouse records I reconstruct the last days of George Foster 1769-1803, the St Andrew's Holborn baptism of baby Louisa, the Mitre Tavern sighting, the Westbourne Green canal drowning, Sir Richard Ford's interrogation and the trial that followed.
Rolly's Take
For the kind of person who finds beauty in the shadows of history, drawn to the untold stories that linger beneath the surface. They revel in the delicate interplay of mundane lives and tragic fates, seeking to uncover the emotional threads that weave through the fabric of time. Here, every detail is a whisper, inviting you to listen closely and reflect on the fragility of existence.
