Transcript

Have you ever imagined being a fly on the wall of history? Our past is all around us. Now these men had perhaps one of the most disgusting jobs in history. They would scoop out all the poo from your cesspit. We're transporting you back for the inside story of the people, places and moments that made us. You saw a flash. That meant a shell had been fired at you. And after that, you've got 70 to 90 seconds before it arrives.

Join us, historians James Grasby and Helen Antrobus, for Back When from National Trust Podcasts. And you brought me to a very unpromising car park, I have to say. I'm sorry to be dreary about it. Can't say car park. It's an area of archaeological interest. Follow us on your favourite podcast app to catch every story. Lean in. For A Tale from Time. Back when.
