| Video Discription | How did people keep clean before baths and showers? Answer: they didn't. But they did do their laundry. People didn't stink, but their clothes did -- and washing them was an exhausting, disruptive and often back-breaking job, almost always done by women. Learn about dollies, possers and other "labour saving" devices; stifle your revulsion at some of the constituents of early modern soap; and discover why nobody ate hot food on washing day. Nick Higham is a former BBC correspondent and author of the first comprehensive history of London's water supply, The Mercenary River: Public Good, Private Greed, A History of London's Water, published in April 2022. Recording from 12 January 2023 Nerd Nite London show and livestream from the Backyard Comedy Club. Introduced by Ivi.
