What did our ancestors do with thieving pirates? Brutally execute them in public, of course.

Today I'm off to try and trace the footsteps of a convicted pirate from Marshalsea Prison in Southwark, across London Bridge, through the docks of East London up to Wapping, where we try and discover exactly where it is.
Extra notes: You can tell I got rained off one day and had to come back, my hair gets wet and then dry again. As far as I know I haven't made any historical mistakes this time. The actual top singe of 1998 was 'No Matter What' by Boyzone but I just didn't feel that resonated with the theme of a torturous death.

I lived in this area 6 years ... lots of history - i find the war history sad with the fires seems to destroyed this country - and didn’t recover since ....... , I lived in off Rotherhithe new Road and when I first moved in I felt the place was full of ghostly presence I imagined I heard people cheering in crowds and I know there’s a football pitch but sometimes I heard it in the wind and there wasn’t a match on ... very strange and it stopped after a year and half ..... but borough market terror attack really did it for me I couldn’t enjoy living there anymore , followed by Covid - which Im glad I was in london now because I’m Covid it felt safer than I think outside the city , I’m living outside the city now , l miss the city strangely enough -- I don’t know what it is --

Do you have patreon? I am a serious London history junkie and appreciate your content. I love a good "bad" joke. Post the link if you do!

camaro406ss I don’t have a Patreon because I only post every few months and I don’t think I’d feel right if I was making money for doing nothing. You can make one off gifts though as often as you see fit at ko-fi.com/exploringlondon 👍🏻

Your videos are the only ones that are interesting. Thank you for making such great videos. We don't have such a long history in Australia as you do in the UK which is why I love traveling to London purely because of the history. I am only in Sydney because the UK transported my family here and we've been here ever since 🙄

I know where execution dock was. If you walk down the beach towards tower bridge for about 10 mins you will come across a warn down pier with moss and broken wood. That was execution dock.

That is, when the English were not engaged in piracy themselves, often backed by the monarchy, against other European vessels loaded with riches.

It's not lost. Just check maps of London from the 1700's and do an overlay on a modern map of London and you'll find it.
