London Famine

edit

Journalist section:

Having just read his Underground London ( from the Wikisource reference below --- which resolved to Google books free e-books --- Having read of it in Michael Harrison's redoubtable London Beneath The Pavement; I was intrigued by the sentence in the article:

In 1861, he acted as the "special correspondent" for The Morning Post during the London famine.

Interesting; but I should be grateful for more information on this, of which I have never heard. Googling 'London Famine 1861' only turns up infinite links to the sexier more complaint-worthy subjects of the Irish Famine [ a decade before ] and various Indian Famines. Famines, often with no-one to blame, were a frequent part of life in all the world in all centuries, but only a few hit the big time in remembrance --- I imagine this London one affected the submerged poor rather than the frequenters of Rotten Row.
