Episode description
News of the Times Short #48 | 1859
This was a very big story in its day and was generally referred to as "The Great Stink".
This is quite a sarcastic article on what was known as "The Great Stink" of the Thames. How can The British claim to Rule the Seas if they cannot rule their own rivers? Very funny.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time. We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day. We also do sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint. The press releases of the launch of the unsinkable Titanic is one such example (https://youtu.be/zEiAxw-u6PQ).
