London Nightmen


The streets are constantly filled with sewage, manure, waste, and filth. People walk through the streets daily somehow managing to stand the unbearable excrement coming from a variety of sources. So who makes it possible to continue to frequent the streets London without there being overflowing sewage and waste? Why, that would the London Nightmen. While many of London’s occupants and workers are asleep snug in their beds or confined to their living quarters, a group of brave souls come out when the clock strikes twelve in attempt to dispose of the ungodly substances consuming the streets. These men come out at this time and go through the streets trying to dispose of as much of the toxic waste as possible. Divided into different jobs, the ropeman lowers down a tub into a pit that’s smell is so horrendous, it would make any lady faint on the spot. The holeman then fills the tub with the waste and finally two tubmen carry the load to a cart, and that cart begins a journey to a place such as a city dust yard, a place just for the waste of London. This work is so dangerous, so deadly, that it has claimed the lives of many workers. Between disease and the fumes from decomposing the waste, death could occur at any time once exposed. So, my fellow readers, as you go about your daily activities throughout the streets of London, remember those who work through the hours of the early morning trying to make the streets cleaner and safer so that you might be spared from the horrors that come from the foul, filthy muck that lies at your feet and lingers in the air!
