    During the 1800’s, the lower class of London was so large, it basically formed its own city. With a large population and improper disposal of wastes the city became covered in excrement and rotting food. Because London became so unsanitary, many worked jobs to try and remove some of the waste and make use with what they could. Many of the lower class citizens preformed these unsafe and unsanitary jobs of removing waste in order to try and make or find enough money to survive. I feel that today it is still seen that people of a lower economic

    New fashions were surfacing in both men’s and women’s fashions. Men were wearing Bermuda pants, baggy pants that were cut off at the knee, while women were wearing capris, tight pants that cut off just below the knee. Men were wearing tailored jackets and making a slight move towards the casual dress of today’s workplace. Women were wearing natural shoulders as opposed to the heavily padded ones of the war years. Flat, neck-hugging collars replaced the mannish collars of the late 1940’s. Waists were tightly fitted and skirts were long (Melinkoff 46). The jeans of the time were often lined with plaid flanel and dungarees were worn to the most casual occasions. The sandals of the fifties were not much different than the sandals of today.

  • The Smog In London's Killer Fog Of 1952

    1090 Words  | 3 Pages

    On December 5, 1952, the residents of London woke up to a chilly, clear morning. However, as the day went on, a fog slowly settled over the city. While fog was hardly uncommon for the damp London environment, as the day went on the fog slowly became thicker and thicker, even taking on a sickly, yellowish hue towards the middle of the day. This fog, so dense that people couldn’t even see their feet on the ground, refused to let up for a full five days in the breezeless city (Klein). Traffic was completely disrupted (excluding the Underground transport), local events and concerts had to be canceled, and people were forced to stay inside for fear of getting lost or suffocated in the thick mist. Not only was the routine of the city disrupted, but the fog had terrible health effects on several of the residents. The smog damaged the health of both the elderly and the very young, and had long lasting effects on the city as a whole. This smog was the Killer Fog of 1952, one of the most deadly environmental

    For instance, Jonathan writes in his journal, “They are fearless and without religion, save superstition, and they talk only their own varieties of the Romany tongue” (Stoker 89). When referring to the Romany tongue Jonathan is referring to gypsies who live in Eastern Europe where superstition thrives. Eastern Europe is known for one thing and that is being in complete belief in many superstitions. Just as Professor Van Helsing specifies, “But yet we see around us every day the growth of new beliefs, which we think themselves new, and which are yet but the old, which pretend to be young, like the fine ladies at the opera (Stoker 424). This summarizes the fact that London is an advanced state that constantly improves in the field of science. London is more developed and more sophisticated than their neighbors in the East. Furthermore, Jonathan writes in his diary, “…Arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late” (Stoker 6). This reinforces the idea of the Victorian era by the popular use of trains as transportation. Trains are widely used in this era for their speed and efficiency compared to other options available. The setting gives an abundant amount of proof of the Victorian

    Though they were not wanted, “Fires were not uncommon in seventeenth-century London” (Cowie, 59). Fires weren’t the only things that London residents worried about though. In 1665 a tragedy known as the Black Plague had occurred and killed many people in the city and though the plague was gone “People continued to fear another outbreak of plague for the rest of the seventeenth century” (Cowie, 56-57). The Great Fire of London was a tragedy that destroyed a whole city and scared all the people who inhabited it. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague, the inhabitants had to flee the city once again- this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of a human accident (“The Great Fire of London of 1666”, 1).
