A Yearful of London Week 10: The Postman's Park
London's history is so full of big characters. We can all be guilty of forgetting about the ordinary people, focusing our attentions on Shakespeare, Dickens, Jack the Ripper (cough cough), Thatcher, Anne Boleyn...
"But what about the everyday heroes?" asks the Postman's Park.
This beautiful garden is a tribute to ordinary people who have done extraordinary things; they all risked their lives to save another.
Here I am, trying to look solemn, not really pulling it off...
The tribute is a wall of tablets, each telling an incredible story of heroes and heroines in fires and floods and disasters. Each is a memorial to heroic self-sacrifice.
It's a moving and beautiful haven in the middle of the busy city. There's not much more I can say except visit this place.
Deatils: Postman's Park, St Martin's Le Grand, London EC1A, open 8am - 7:30pm, nearest tube St Paul's.
For now I'll leave you with a few of the stories that truly deserve to be told forever.
Joseph Andrew Ford, aged 30, Metropolitan Fire Brigate, Saved six persons from fire in Gray's Inn Road but in his last heroic act he was scorched to death, Oct 7th 1871.
Amelia Kennedy, Aged 19, Died in trying to save her sister from their burning house in Edward's Lane, Stoke Newington, Oct 18 1871.
William Goodrum, Signalman, Aged 60, Lost his life at Kingsland Road Bridge in saving workman from death under the approaching train from Kew, Feb 28th 1880.
Samuel Lowdell, Bargeman, Drowned when rescuing a boy at Blackfriars Feb 25 1887. He had saved two other lives.
Many more tributes to see when you visit.
Although some songs required perfect concentration, I enjoyed the challenge because Friday Night Funkin rewarded persistence with smoother gameplay and noticeably better scores after regular practice sessions.
The prompt seen trending ideas are a good source of inspiration. I like trying different variations instead of using the same style every time.
There are so many lovely hindu baby names that it’s hard to settle on just one. I would love to find something traditional but still suitable for modern times.
https://pokiesbitcoin.com came to mind reading about the Postman's Park tablets, since that same instinct to record ordinary people's stories shows up in how pokies communities keep track of regular players' wins and losses. The Amelia Kennedy tribute stuck with me most, a nineteen-year-old dying trying to save her sister, and it's the kind of small human detail that gets buried under all the bigger London names. I walk past St Paul's fairly often and had no idea this garden was tucked away there, so it's going on my list for a quiet lunch break.
