An A - Z of Victorian Crime and Culture - L is for...
What Victorian Crime blog would be complete without...
L is for - London Particular - the thick fog / smog that encompassed the capital for years, rolling in off the Thames.
L is for - Lush - a word that seems to be very vogue at the present, but with Victorian origins - meaning an alcoholic drink.
L is for - Lushery - a place where you could acquire an alcoholic drink - legal or otherwise.
L is for - Lushington - a drunkard. It's funny how we have adapted words and how 'Lush' has replaced lucious and yet we still call what the Victorians would have called a Lushington, just a lush!
L is for Lurker - a general criminal who would lurk or hang around for any form of opportunist crime.
