London's Living River | Thames Through Time

Earnest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic departed on December 5th, 1914. This would be The Endurance crew's last contact with land for 497 days.

Shackleton will always be remembered for saving his men, stranded at the ends of the earth, with "not a life lost".

As government regulations reduce working hours and cheap sugar means lots of sweets, life gets a bit sweeter for our shopkeepers. Nostalgia boosts sales for the grocers, who have masses of 1930s recognisable brands, the dressmaker has to sell thirties glamour to the town, and the butcher has good old British beef. The Edwardian bazaar is now a toy shop, reflecting the shopkeepers' target customers - children. But it is far from plain sailing; the Bakers find themselves running a cake shop, but cakes aren't their forte. Rivalry builds between the grocers and the butchers, undermining the community spirit of the high street. The shopkeepers spend a week selling the 1930s to the town, but they have to pull out all the stops for Empire day - can they persuade a whole new generation of the joys of the traditional high street?

Join us on a captivating journey to the coldest and most inhospitable environment on Earth - Antarctica. We delve into the early 20th-century expeditions that set out to unravel the mysteries of this uncharted southern land, where temperatures can plummet to 100° below zero and winds can reach a staggering 200 mph. We will learn about the legendary explorer Ernest Shackleton and his adventurous spirit, drive for fame, and rivalry with fellow explorer Robert Scott. We will then head further back in time to a much earlier maritime explorer who changed the course of human history, Christopher Columbus. While he set the blueprint for future sea-borne exploration, he left untold suffering and centuries of colonization in his wake.
