Three graveyard watch houses, London, 1926-1927. Artist: Whiffin
Three graveyard watch houses, London, 1926-1927. Graveyard watch houses at Thames Street and Giltspur Street, (above), and at Rotherhithe (below). These buildings were constructed in an attempt to prevent body snatching which was a serious problem in 19th-century London. Medical students needed corpses for dissection and would pay with no questions asked. Illustration from Wonderful London, edited by Arthur St John Adcock, Volume I, published by Amalgamated Press, (London, 1926-1927)
