Fascinating show on BBC 2 this weather with Dan Snow. He did medieval London and this week it was revolutionary Paris. Absolutely amazing to see how filthy cities were - especially the 'Shambles' - which was the place were all the animals were slaughtered and meat sold - all in one process. There is a place still in Armagh called the 'Shambles' and the Belfast version was where Castlecourt is now. Indeed, Royal Avenue was built to do away with all the unofficial butchers' shops in that area. All the leftovers were dumped in the Farset River (now under Primark and High Street - indeed on hot days there is still a stench from the river. Great stuff and New York next week.
