Death- The Victorian Wake The body was watched over every minute until burial, hence the custom of “waking”. The wake also served as a safeguard from burying someone who was not dead, but in a coma. Most wakes also lasted 3-4 days to allow relatives to arrive from far away.
The Victorians-Death Curtains would be drawn and clocks would be stopped at the time of death. Mirrors were covered with crape or veiling to prevent the deceased’s spirit from getting trapped in the looking glass.
Freakshows were also big in the Victorian Era. Going to a freakshow for them was just as normal and accessible as us going to the movies.
For the the Victorians. Drunkenness was a problem for all ages, even the children. It was difficult to find safe drinking water. But at 1p per pint it was easier and safer to buy beer. 🍻
When someone passed away the family would often have a photograph taken of the body. Sometimes the family would even pose with the body to make it look alive. (This is done to this day in other countries)😯
History 101 .. 2/2 England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch…
History 101 .. (from FB) very interesting They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.” But worse than that were the really poor folk…

@QGurtrude The fabulous history of GB and the English language.
@susanbaxter56 Me too , You're very welcome. 😘
@QGurtrude These are so interesting to read, I feel that I've learned a lot from you today.
@QGurtrude That was really interesting!! Thank you 🥰
@QGurtrude Thank you for posting this, love these stories, poor folks had it so hard in the past, put it into perspective the selfishness of modern times when we complained and moan about everything
@QGurtrude This was the most interesting thing I've read in way too long. Thank you so much for compiling this for us! Do create more, please, when you have the time. I was enrapt the entire read!
@QGurtrude Grandparent! Memory of my old folks!
@QGurtrude Wow! Never complaining about anything ever again
@QGurtrude Love this, thankyou, our British history is so old and fascinating. I find the old film footage mesmerising too.
@Time_Out_Gurty We may look at these customs in bemusement or amusement, but they did fulfil a useful purpose - of allowing clearly defined rituals to help the bereaved at a difficult time. Now, it seems to be more a case of call the undertakers and "move on" asap.
@QGurtrude It's bad enough that this person had their breasts removed, so unable to feed the baby themselves, but one has to wonder why they decided to have a baby at all, if they considered themselves a man. None of this makes any sense.
