Just hours after the Titanic sunk in April 1912, a photograph was taken outside the White Star Line’s Oceanic House office (close to London’s Trafalgar Square), which would become forever associated with the disaster; an image of a young news vendor touting the headline: “Titanic Disaster, Great Loss of Life.’
The boy at the centre of this famous photograph was Ned Parfett, and his life would also be marred by tragedy.
In this video, we’ll be exploring the London Ned knew, before learning what happened to him in later life.
If you enjoy this video about Ned Parffet, please do give it a like and share as that really does help the channel to grow!
And if there are any other Londoners such as Ned who you’d like to learn more about, please feel free to let me know in the comments.
