In this fifth episode we hear about the punishments, often totally disproportionate, meted out to these women who, after all, were just trying to make a living under their own steam … and about those who managed to avoid the law, sometimes by breaking out of prison believe it or not!
Welcome to Cunny Corner, the podcast where historian Sue Pengelly and writer Stef Fox shine a light on the hidden stories of Victorian Barnstaple's most resilient women … its prostitutes. We're bringing you their real, unfiltered stories - deeply human accounts of survival, humour and strength.
