very good - 10 Guinea St Redcliffe
I thought he concentrated on slavery too much
we look on history in the light of what it was then
NOT - how evil they were - slaves to think of it all ! terrible !
as for Charles Wesley being the head of an anti-slavery sect, event the historian said: well he didnt actually preach against it as such.
AS for the runaway slave - Tom - I thought it was obvious that he had got a ship to take him and he worked his passage. There WAS a law of return ( bailiffs could go in and arrest and return runaway slaves ) that extended to Dorset and Somerset - and being brought up there - no one knew and I know of no instance where it was used. But a black fella would kinda stand out in Bridport.
He points out that Guinea st was expensively built, and stresses the decoration but then lets that flap in the breeze - we are told nothing so far about the decoration of the house. The present owners must have walked in ( with plenty of moolah) and thought - "blimey this has not changed for 300 years". I note electricity but no gas fittings. Considering alot was original I thought he cd have covered a bit about early C18 house decoration.
the cellar has bviously been used for living in - originally conceived as a health point - allows the house to be aired. It would have been occupied in the 1800s as the population went up and there was money to be had by letting. - I thought the camera angles had avoided a grate
The house was in a field originally - and there was successive 'in fill' building with large profits to be made. and Saunders letting the houses on the rest of the terrace. Nothing about that as we were locked into evil slavery
I thought he didnt have enough stuff or stuff he didnt want to show and so had to eke it out with bits about Shebbeare in London. The cartoon of the Guinea trade for example - had a white man handing over moolah to another white - whereas the truth was - they were bought from Arab Islamic traders....dear dear we werent told that were we? nor that it is still going on. Nor that there were slaves in both the Bible and Quran but one lot has stopped doing it .....
so there was a little too much rewriting the history fascinating as it was to fit the point of view ....
