Who said Kevin's channel is underrated ? I agree, he's a fantastic story teller and I'm pretty sure he has quite a large number of fans, though surely not enough. And some, like me, are even not english native speakers, so don't be so pessimistic and enjoy !
Kev you have a way of engaging the viewer as if you're sat on your grandfathers knee, or perhaps with the family gathered silently around the fire, listening to these macabre tales with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. You are a master story teller. The history of these sites and their practices is fascinating, there does seem to be something compelling about grizzly means and methods of past times. As the old grandmothers saying goes, when reading the paper 'There's nothing like a good murder'. Thanks as always Kev, and a big cheer to the patrons who support the channel.
I told people for years that there was this guy that I saw once at Warwick castle who was the bowman and he was unreal shooting apples off a dummy’s head. I cannot believe that I have found you again. Mental throwback and I love it.
You are SO talented, Kevin! Your love of history and enthusiastic story-telling skills come through loud and clear in this video! Thank you SO much for sharing! 🥰
One of the best private school layouts I have ever seen had an elementary school attached to a community center so the school and center could share facilities meaning everyone got better facilities at a bargain for the taxpayer. Attached to this pair was a nursing home. Nothing old folks seem to enjoy more than watching kids play. In turn, those elders of the community were available to share their wisdom and first hand experience of history with the kids. Not to mention a whole lot of endless patience, kindness and love. Worked great. Every school play was very well attended with an enthusiastic audience I can guarantee!
One of my uncles was a police constable for most of his life and he had some interesting stories about funnels, one of the best was a runaway coffin. The cemetery where the internment was to take place was quite hilly and the Hurrs was parked on a uphill slope. when they transferred the coffin to the trolly they did not quite get the brake set on it, as they were mooting the pallbearers to come forward the trolly started to roll, it rolled down the hill and crashed into a large gravestone. The coffin flew off the trolly and hit another gravestone and split open. To ever ones horror there were two bodies inside.
@@thehistorysquad I was originally told the story when I was in High School, later when I was working as a Private Investigator I was given access to the police report , The funeral was for a nowhen member of the local Castriota, the second body was also known as a member from a rival group.
I've just been introduce to this channel today... this is now the 10th video I've watched. I CANNOT get enough! You're so awesome. I just wish, wish, wish I had a teacher like you when I was at school. You show such enthusiasm, and it's so infectious! You could talk about the miracles of paint drying, and I'd be enthralled. I adore this channel! Thank you so much for what you do!!!!
I absolutely love his accent and how he explains everything in complete detail, let alone gets into what he is telling the viewers. He always looks very nice and professional 😊
Outstanding. I really like these macabre stories. The life expectancy in London for the poor was worse than in medieval times it would seem. Shocking the public tolerated these conditions for as long as they did. Imagine coming home from a hard days labor and a coffin with a corpse has been launched into your living room.
Here in the States we call cheap booze 'rotgut'. It's from medical colleges grave robbing and storing the corpses in casks of whiskey for preserving. The unwary boozer would drink this without knowing about the body and I can imagine making a face from the first swig and asking what in the world was in it. A drinking pal would probably say "You don't want that rotgut stuff!"
Just look up the term 'rotgut' and the nefarious practices of medical colleges in the 1800's paying grave robbers for dissection cadavers from fresh graves. No refrigeration so a cask of whiskey or brandy (considered 'medicinal' in those days) served as a preservative. Horatio Nelson's body was placed in a cask of rum after Trafalgar.@@KakashiHatake-sv1vb
Another great story and video Kevin, thanks! I appreciate your engaging narrative as always, but this subject must have also taken a lot of research. Thanks for all you do! Cheers from the USA
It's my contention that you are a grounded, real-world historian, able to bring the past to life concretely, and the best storyteller I've ever heard speak on the interwaves. In that light, I'm awaiting with anticipation more history from you that is not shock-value or pain/death/trauma-oriented. I appreciate the latter, and think you've done it justice, but your powers can cover the full gamut.
You are an excellent storyteller, Kevin. Thank you for another great video. How horrific that these people would take such advantage of people in their weakest moments, in grief.
Is it just me, or are Kevin's voice perfect for storytelling. It's so soothing to listen to. I would love to listen to ether audio books or podcasts if Kevin was the teller 🥰.
Yes I liked the story and yes, you threw the warning: absolutely gruesome stories that somehow we need to know in order to understand the evolution of life and death in a big city such as London. Thanks Kevin for your great research and your contagious enthusiasm.
I absolutely love this channel, you’re just so entertaining and make history so interesting. As an American who has always been super interested in British history- it’s just an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks so much for everything you’ve done for us! ❤
Your video on Prince Hal's surgery has been stuck in my brain for what feels like years and years (it is older than a year, isn't it?). I'm glad I recently discovered your channel and all this other wonderful content you've made, but feel dumb I didn't look much sooner. Thanks for everything you do for history lovers, Kevin!
It's my pleasure, I'm glad you've found it now. The Prince Hal's video was made more than 15 years ago for OCR, the examination board, so being the owner of it, I added it to the channel even though its old. We (Julie & I) resurrected the channel almost 2 years ago now 👍🏻
If I was buried someplace, and my spirit got to come up from time to time to observe the goings on, I don't think I would mind one bit if the land had become a playground and upon it were children playing in a healthy way and being happy. In fact, it would make me very happy as well.
@@BeeLZBeeb My entire life, one of my ambitions has been to buy a home near a cemetery. Has never worked out, but houses near cemeteries tend to be less expensive as a lot of folks are spooked out by being near a cemetery. For me, it would just be a bargain home near a bunch of lovely green space.
Yet another great video Kevin! Just about a week ago I was taking a stroll through one of my small town's local graveyards where my grandfather is buried, and I decided to walk past all the graves on the oldest side of the graveyard, reading the names dates, and epitaphs. I felt as if the mere act of me wondering about the lives of those people, and what they may have witnessed during their time, was somehow extending their presence on earth, or at the very least, extending their reach far into the future. Some of those graves certainly are so old, that they probably aren't even remembered by living descendants. I hope one day someone takes a minute by my grave, and wonders about me.
My father in law and his brother when they were younger to make extra money would maintain the grounds at a local cemetery. So one day when they were mowing the lawns my father in law heard a terrific scream and found that his brother must have gone over fresh earth and fell into one of the graves. He said he couldn't stop laughing. As always, great storytelling Kevin. The way you flesh out a story is brilliant
One of your best short films ever Kevin. The facts behind the history are fascinating. You should look into making some documentaries on the subject or publish a book. I for one would be very interested in reading more about facts behind burials and the way the dead were treated after the traditional funeral was finished and everyone had gone home.
I enjoyed that thank you, there is something about the smell of decomposition of bodies, it’s quite unique and unforgettable. I think I actually like the smell!
Thanks, Kevin ! I think that everybody loves a bit of a gruesome story ! It is sad though that many graves disappear under grass or buildings with no reminder of who is beneath.
Oh Kevin! Being a nurse 42 yrs and still working i love that dry wit, how else does one keep going in those professions of the other side of life. We humans are one civilization on on top of the next. Fan in Cleveland, Ohio!
Sir, you are a great orator. I could listen to you for hours. Just wish I had a history teacher as eloquent and charismatic as you at school. Brilliant!
I often visit my loved ones graves. Sadly, as I get older, I find myself there more and more. Don't forget to take a visit from time to time. I miss my people. Lifelong friends don't come along very often.
If you pull all-nighters because of your health this lovely man keeps my brain engaged and distracted by telling me lots and lots of things I have not thought about .Thankyou English man in Canada 🇨🇦 😊😊😊❤

Ive just discovered this channel today and have binge watched several in a row. Bravo for the interesting historical tidbits and humanizing the past. History amongst other things is smelly and decidedly unpleasant,but everyone's relatives from the past suffered through something, and on an odd occasion had some joys even if fleeting. Back to my bingeing...
If there is anything more fascinating or intriguing than secret burial grounds and corrupt undertakers, I have yet to find it. Another great story. This is exactly what Tim Berners Lee had in mind, a knowledge engine. 👨🎓
And here I was...thinking that Burke and Hare were the worst....good God! I guess greed has no boundaries, moral, or ethical, or any common decency at all. This was monstrous....and along with the pure horror of it all, such a terrible threat to public health! Thank you for this presentation. It has reminded me, yet again, that humans are quite capable of ANYTHING.
I've literally watched this one in particular about 20 time's. I'm obsessed with my local history & I actually live really close to Spa Fields & have done my whole 52 years. I also went to school right nexXxt to Spa & we used to always eat our lunch in the gardens. ThanxXxyou for teaching me my real history as I never knew it to be. Ya'r legendary Mr. Hicks...xXx
I could listen to you forever! You may have been a great policeman, but you have found your true calling & hit your full stride with these videos. Thank you!!
Fascinating history. It's definitely a tough subject, and you did it very well. It is still a challenge to this day as to where and how to dispose of the dead.
Great video - reminds me of Skeleton Park, in Kingston, Ontario. Located in a residential area, the beautiful park, is a former cemetery that was moved in the mid-19th century, leaving the remains of more than 10k bodies in place. In some locations, you can still see the foundations of old tombstones poking through the grass. It's quite eerie.
Greetings once again from nova Scotia, thanks Kevin, this one was fairly dark, but equally interesting. I got to tell you, as someone who grew up in rural nova Scotia ,and it's hard to wrap my head around JUST how crowded Britain is.... Thanks again for A darker slice of London history. Stay awesome, keep the great stories coming. Arthur
Cheers Arthur, it's one of the reasons we left - the overcrowding. Saskatchewan is over 3x the size of Britain and has only 1.2m against almost 70m on that tiny island 😜
