  1. I loved finding out about "the voices of the poor from England and Wales." I have watched the series Stitches in Time, and in one episode, the host goes to the foundling hospital and goes through their collection of textile scraps that people would leave with their babies, to help them match up when they came to collect their child. Those scraps tell the stories of ordinary people too -- so interesting but so sad!

  2. It certainly is an eye opener... re the voices of the poor from England and Wales.
    How sad that the mothers felt it necessary to leave a scrap fabric to identify their baby... makes you wonder how long they had to leave them in care. That would have been a very hard decision..
    Thanks for your comment...
