#OnThisDay in 1536 #England's King #HenryVIII marries #JaneSeymour, his 3rd wife who died of postnatal complications after giving birth. She gave Henry his heir under the future (boy) King #EdwardVI who would die young and be replaced first by #JaneGrey before #MaryTudor I.
The greatest, most unconditional, comforting love and loyalty I've ever seen came from east end grandmothers who'd have lied to ANYONE in defence of their little cherubs. If you'd told my Nan I'd thrown kittens in a river she'd have said "No, not my Vincent, no chance". 🤍

Just been attacked, had to see them off....
#OnThisDay in medieval 1381, an #English uprising known as the #PeasantsRevolt took place. Uprisings in #Essex, #Kent & #London would have #RichardII meet & lie to the rebels at #MileEnd. Today the left/mainstream try to claim this as their own form of proto-socialist history.

The Long lost warehousing of #CanaryWharf leaves one feeling nostalgic and displaced. The financial hell-hole we see today us but a shadow of the life this place once had. #IOD East, #London.
