English taster: exploring London's ‘little ice age’ through poetry and images
For students

Step back into London in the late 1600s and early 1700s, when the River Thames froze and frost fairs filled the city. In this session with Queen Mary University of London, you’ll explore how people lived, worked, and survived during the ‘little ice age’. Using historical images and written sources, including works from William Blake and Hogarth, discover what they reveal about wealth, weather, and work in the past.
