speaker_5NARRATOR
One Price, concerning whose antecedents the strictest research has failed to discover any information, gave equestrian performances at this place in 1770, and soon had a rival in one Sampson, who performed similar feats in a field behind the old hats.
speaker_5NARRATOR
About the same time, feats of horsemanship were exhibited in Lambeth in a field near Halfpenny Hatch, which, it may be necessary to inform you readers, stood where a broad ditch, which then ran through the fields and market gardens now covered by the streets between Westminster Road and Blackfriars Road, was crossed by a swivel bridge.
speaker_5NARRATOR
There was a narrow pathway through the fields and gardens, for the privilege of using which a halfpenny was paid to the owners at a cottage near the bridge.
speaker_5NARRATOR
In one of these fields, Philip Astley, a great name in circus annals, formed his first ring with a rope and some stakes, going round with his hat after each performance to collect the loose halfpence of the admiring spectators.
speaker_5NARRATOR
His imposing appearance, being over six feet in height, with the proportions of a Hercules and the voice of a Stentor, attracted attention to him, and his capture of a standard at the Battle of Emsdorf made him one of the celebrities of his regiment.
speaker_5NARRATOR
While serving in the army, he learned some feats of horsemanship from an itinerant equestrian named Johnson, perhaps the man under whose management Bryce introduced equestrian performances at Sadler's Wells, and often exhibited them for the amusement of his comrades.
speaker_5NARRATOR
On his discharge from the army, he was presented by General Elliott with a horse, and thereupon he bought another in Smithfield, and commenced those open-air performances in Lambeth which have already been noticed.
speaker_5NARRATOR
After a time, he built a rude circus upon a piece of ground near Westminster Bridge, which had been used as a timber yard, being the site of the theater, which has been known by his name for nearly a century.
Phil ChenevertNARRATOR
Another size ate nothing but lilies of the valley, and a third size ate only prime ministers, if they were to be had, and, if not, would feed freely on servants in livery.
Phil ChenevertNARRATOR
Another size lived on bricks, and three of them ate two-thirds of the South Lambeth infirmary in one afternoon.
Phil ChenevertNARRATOR
But the size Effie was most afraid of was about as big as your dining room, and that size ate little girls and boys.
Phil ChenevertNARRATOR
At first Effie and her brother were quite pleased with the change in their lives.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
A few specimens excavated are embellished with pleasing patterns in polychrome colors.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
Most of the Delftware unearthed at Jamestown was made in England—Lambeth, Southwark, and Bristol, although a few examples were imported from Holland.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
Spanish mayolica.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
This mayolica is a tin-glazed earthenware with a soft body, usually buff in color and porous in texture.
speaker_4NARRATOR
Nor did the king think it necessary to put off his coronation, which took place on the appointed day, the 30th of October.
speaker_4NARRATOR
He dined the three days before with the Cardinal Bouchier, Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth, and passing from thence over London Bridge to the Tower, he there made twelve knights, bannerettes,
speaker_3NARRATOR
and created three peerages, but only one new peer, in view of the approaching ceremony.

Terry WenhamHOST
So now I want to tell you the story of another soldier, this time an Englishman, Private PS1882 Alfred George Southwell, who died while serving with the 17th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment on the 18th of September 1916 at the age of 20, and he came from Lambeth

South London, and is remembered with honour in the Euston Road Cemetery at Collingcamp's.
Sophie StowersGUEST
And I think that's kind of what makes it not a green slam dunk, so to speak.
Sophie StowersGUEST
It's not as straightforward as it might have been if there was a by-election that encompassed Hackney or Walthamstow or Lambeth or other parts of London.
Luke TrylHOST
It's fascinating, isn't it? You know, even for a seat which you assume is quite homogenous, there are actually some quite different communities with different voting habits there.
Luke TrylHOST
Nonetheless, even though it is perhaps, as you say, not as friendly territory for the Greens as somewhere, you know, like Hackney or Lewis Sherm.

Margaret HodgeGUEST
And I know it seems unconscionable today as I sit here in the studio and talk to you, but in the 80s, I don't think we... began to have a handle on the concept that there might be paedophiles exploiting in children's homes.
Margaret HodgeGUEST
And you see it even today with the churches, with Lambeth, It Took Forever, with Jimmy Savile.
