The plague spared no one, affecting people of all ages, classes, and genders, leading to a high mortality rate. The unsanitary conditions in 17th-century London, with open sewers, rampant rats, and contaminated water sources, contributed to the rapid spread of the plague. The impact of the plague was documented in weekly bills of mortality, listing the number and manner of deaths, while the dead were often collected in open carts and buried in mass plague pits.

Love a good Plague doc - will never EVER forget visiting Eyam (Iām from Manchester, U.K.) & hearing the frankly riveting story of āthe village that escapedā - and how they did it. Anyone interested in this subject should look up this incredible community who, through sacrifice and self-quarantine, mostly emerged unscathed. Incredible. ā¤

As much as we now look back in some shock at the ignorance of our ancestors, I wonder who will look back and be shocked at our own ignorance...

So nice of you to upload these superb older documentaries.
When did they first air?
This kind of honest, non reality-tv like documentaries , narrated without the drama so present as of now (2024) and in perfect british dialect!!
Thank you!

I do believe this most excellent documentary is narrated by a real human being rather than a robot and a superb job he has made of it Thank You!

It's sad that an innocent man was hanged for 'starting the fire' and he wasn't even in the country at the time. Those who hanged him, and the baker who signed the warrant, are guilty of murder.

If only there were a way to turn off the music so we could hear the narrator.

The cats were killed before the black death, not during. That's why the black death happened. Then when they reintroduced the cats, they managed to eradicate it

We just donāt have plagues like we used to

Imagine entire families wiped out by the plague, horrible way to die.

If the eyeballs don't explode then it's not a proper plague š

Pepys also, in a moment of panic, buried cheese and wine in his backyard. He had to dig it up later. It's also in the diary.

You can thank : Pope Gregory IX, the 178th pope of the Catholic Church from 1227 to 1241, is often remembered for issuing aĀ Papal BullĀ declaring that cats bore Satan's spirit, which subsequently led to huge numbers of cats being killed throughout Europe.

You know what's an interesting thought? That plague doctor costumes are synonymised with fearful imagery and barbaric treatments, but the real people who actually wore those historic garments were probably the bravest and the best of us - physicians who voluntarily stayed within the plagued city of London to help treat people as long as they could, rather than flee to the safety of the countryside saving themselves. That the treatments they had at the time were useless was unfortunate, but their efforts should be remembered as a heroic sacrifice.
