@theyear1665: According to local legend, William Gaitskell paid children to retrieve bodies from the Thames for anatomical dissection. I’ve never found documentary evidence to support the story, and historians generally treat it as local folklore rather than established fact. Even so, the legend has become firmly attached to this beautiful Grade II-listed Regency-era townhouse in Bermondsey and continues to fascinate visitors today. Have you heard this story before? And do you think there’s a grain of truth behind it? #londonhistory #hiddenlondon #historytok #darkhistory #deadlondon
