Chimney Boy: George Brewster
Tue 13 February
On a cold February in 1875 George Brewster, an 11-year-old Chimney Sweep’s ‘apprentice’, was sent up a boiler chimney at Fulbourn Lunatic Asylum by his master. He sadly suffocated – nothing out of the ordinary for Victorian England – however, the story afterwards is remarkable.
Hear Joanna’s story about how she ‘Found George’ and how meeting people along the journey is turning a forgotten story about a young boy into a (soon to be) household name known to all.
Joanna Hudson is a Communications Manager for the University of Cambridge and, when not doing her day job and bringing up two kids, is an amateur historian.
