Description

<p>Fairyland has a minor place in history, because it was connected to an assassination, an aborted assassination of the Prime Minister, and a murder. &nbsp;</p> <p>This episode begins the story of Fairyland, &nbsp;an amusement arcade and shooting gallery that was located at 92 Tottenham Court Road in London, between 1909-1921. It describes the street at that time, what Fairyland was like inside, and the people who worked there.</p> <p>Links:</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_Road#Early_history">Wikipedia page on Fairyland</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_Road#/media/File:Fairyland,_92_Tottenham_Court_Road_London_circa_1905.jpg">Photograph of Fairyland on Wikipedia</a></p> <p>Contact:</p> <p>email: [email protected]</p> <p>Sound Effects (Creative Commons):</p> <p>Mutoscope Mechanical Maniacs: <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mutoscope_Mechanical_Maniacs.webm">Wikimedia Commons</a></p> <p>Gunshot: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUO7cGAwnLQ">Sound Effect</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Music: "Mister Exposition" and "Work is Work" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
