Someone tell me how I embed an image please?

You need to publish the image in a hosting site such as photo bucket.com, then of the four options underneath your picture click on HTML Code. The word ‘copied’ will appear. To display it on the Forum press and hold down Ctrl followed by v.

Alternatively, you could send your picture to our administration address at

BurgessHillResident@aemail4u.com

and Big John Peacehaven, our Manager of Images, will endeavour to publish it for you as soon as he has had his tea.

Anon UK has kindly sent in this verse. To see the words more clearly, save the picture and enlarge.

From:


Further conflict with the Poor Law Board (the successor body to the Poor Law Commissioners) ensued in 1856 after allegations that several young female inmates had been beaten by workhouse staff including the Master, Richard Ryan. The Directors and Guardians initially refused to do more than reprimand those involved. However, pressure from the Poor Law Board eventually led to Ryan's departure, an event celebrated in a street-ballad entitled The women flogger's lament of Marylebone workhouse! (Bodleian Library, Firth c.16(317))


Well done Anon-this was probably a real event!
