On the walk about 14c working women in Southwark I discuss how little any one job paid and thus how they did multiple jobs. Often one was selling sex, whether in back streets, unlicensed bawdy houses or regulated brothels. Accompanied by devils or not. eventbrite.co.uk/e/scratchin…

Well, the end of an era after seven years with @ThamesDiscovery soing foreshore with fantastic volunteers and colleages @Nathalie_Cohen @Dr_ClaireH @helga_j and @WRathouse (plus Eliott Wragg). Going to miss it but I am looking forward to being a FROG!
