Ep 93 - Kings Cross - Foundling hospital and Thomas Coram - heartbreak and hope in Georgian London - Publication Date |
- Jun 28, 2022
- Episode Duration |
- 00:50:40
Bring the tissues - it's a weepy one this week. Meet Thomas Coram and his foundling hospital for abandoned babies - yeah, it's a heartbreaker. We find out about the home for abandoned children set up by Coram on his return from sea, and the 25,000 children the home helped over 2 centuries. We look at what brought a mother to leave her child at the home, and what that meant for the children left there.
