Life in pictures 29 – Copil al strazii

Ziua asta ploioasa m-a facut sa ma gandesc la  calatoria facuta in Londra   si am gasit printre pozele facute poza unui pub care se afla chiar pe malul Tamisei si care mi-a atras privirea datorita siglei care o afisa afara . Pub-ul se numeste: “‘The Mudlark” si in traducere libera : ” Copil al strazii” . M-a indignat denumirea lui si am incercat sa aflu mai multe despre acest lucru si am descoperit doua lucruri interesante :

1. ”Mudlarks” erau copii care traiau in secolul 18 din si se foloseau de ceea ce gaseau pe malurile raului Tamisa . Acestia curatau lucrurile si apoi le vindeau datorita faptului ca erau nevoiasi.

2. In anul 1950  s-a facut un film numit ”The Mudlark”  care isi avea actiunea in anul 1875 in Londra si arata povestea unui copil al strazii, orfan, care gaseste un medalion al reginei Victoria si chiar isi risca viata pentru  a intra in posesia lui. Ulterior copilul reuseste sa se strecoare in castelul Windsor deoarece doarea sa o intalneasca pe cea care era numita ”mama tuturor englezilor” . Filmul are un 6.9 pe IMDb si cu siguranta am sa-l iau sa-l vad 🙂

This rainy day made me think at the journey i did in London and looking through the photos i have find one of a pub that is near Thames  River and get my attention because of his sign put outside. The pub is called :”The Mudlark”  and that means ”Street Child”. I was curious about the name and i tried to find more about this and i find out 2 interesting things :

1. ”Mudlarks” were children that lived in 18 century and that used what they found on the banks of River Thames to make money. They were cleaning the things and after that sold them for money because usually they were needy kids.

2. In 1950 a movie was made called ”The Mudlark”    with the plot set in year 1875 and it was the story of an orphan street kid that finds a cameo of Queen Victoria . The kid driven by desire to meet the queen that was called ” mother of all England”  went to the Windsor Castle. The film is rated with 6.9 on IMDb and for sure i will see it .
