(SEA) SICK CITY
In place of the large complexes we know today, London was once dotted with more than 500 small or specialist hospitals. And out on the water of the downriver Thames, various hulking vessels were moored to provide floating care for quarantined citizens for whom there was no room on land. Join medical historians
TOM BOLTON
and
ROSS MACFARLANE
as they examine some of the lost limbs of the body of medical London past.
Dr TOM BOLTON is a researcher, and the author of four books, including ‘Low Country: Brexit on the Essex Coast’ and ‘Vanished City: London’s Lost Neighbourhoods’. His work has been published in the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and Londonist.
ROSS MACFARLANE is Research Engagement Officer at the Wellcome Library. He has researched, lectured and written on such topics as the history of early recorded sound, freak shows and notions of urban folklore in Edwardian London. He has led guided walks around London on the occult past of Bloomsbury and on the intersection of medicine, science and trade in Greenwich and Deptford.
