I suspect "Le Fosseur" was not his real surname, given that the people of the Low Countries (except the nobility) didn't really have official surnames until ca 1800. Until then, people mostly went by patronyms or toponyms, or by profession.
It was quite common for UK cities to have big cess pits. Edinburgh’s beautiful Princes street gardens is situated in the shadow of Edinburgh castle. In the 1700 (ye olddie days) it used to be stagnant swamp that was said to be so noxious in summer folks would go mad with the fumes) you can find out more by googling Nor’loch
Coincidentally, I have been researching the tower moat. Imagine how bad the stink was in the summertime 😳icky poo.
I mean, the idea of a moat that used the river water as its continuous source was a good idea…. in theory. But in practice using a tidal river was definitely not.
Can he build it? Yes he can – but it will all go horribly wrong.
I recommend speeding it up by a tiny amount so it goes under one minute and you can put it into the shorts algo. But the important thing to remember here is that Nosey could dig it.
That would have to be the richest soil in the whole town the richest people in the town with the richest diet in the town fill that with their riches manure available in the universe that has got to be some rich soil.
It was not the largest stagnant cesspool on the isle of Great Britain let alone Europe. Then again "Londoners" of course think London is the centre of the universe and have little knowledge of the world outside. What is now Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh or as it was known when it was full of "liquid" the Nor Loch was much bigger than the Tower of London's moat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nor_Loch So largest stagnant Cesspool in England would be more accurate.
I don't think you necessarily control the ads that get paired with your content but a Facebook ad coming on before a video on stagnant cesspools is just fucking perfect
I want there to be a kids TV show now about the John the Digger. You could even have a talking dog as his sidekick and every episode someone falls in the cesspool.

The Largest Stagnant Cesspool In Europe? I thought that was the Houses of parliament…???
The longest of all the shorts
It's very fertile now
Bob the builder
Woa! So much for Miasma Theory- it took centuries to drain the cess pool!? Woa!
They were crossing the pond anyway to hire an engineer for something water related.
Why hire a Flemish guy when the Dutch were RIGHT THERE?
(Yes, I'm aware that Belgium was part of the Low Countries in the 13th century, don't ruin the joke please)
Anybody who thinks this was the largest stagnant cess pond in Europe obviously hasn’t been to Sheppey 🙂
Thought you were going to say (insert name of local rival town)
The smell alone would deter a siege
The cute singing made this into video instead of a short lol

Gonna be hard for someone to take J.Draper's place. She's brilliant at what she does.
Wellington wearing his boots when he cleaned it out?
People should appreciate that the redundancy of the moat is a positive and think about why that is.
Dear J. Draper you are so outrageous ❤ Joooohn the Diiiger leave some shade for the rest of us 😂

Naw, long shorts!!
Look at you, all grown up. ❤
Bob The Builder! 👷♂️👩🔧
Finally! Some coverage on Downing Street 🙂
Pretty impressive that it’s bigger than Birmingham
Now the British Parliament’s the largest…
Tell us you're making a video about the monarchy without telling us you're making a video about the monarchy.
This woman has an outfit for every hour of the day

I would think there would be city moats that are larger stagnant cespools than the tower's moat

My favorite was when they "planted" it with thousands of glass poppies for the centennial of the beginning of WWI.

The most beautiful women on YouTube 👌
I got to see the Superbloom last year! Very beautiful.
Why don't you take a Valium and quit yelling at us?
No, the largest stagnant cesspool in Europe is Paris.
Hey Thanks, British Lady. Wish I had your energy and enthusiasm
Why is it called "the TOWER of London"?
The current largest cesspool in Europe isn't to far away, its called "the conservative party".
I saw the title and expected this to be a video about Reddit.
CAN HE DIG IT!?
Clearly the largest stagnant cesspool in Europe was the Conservative Party Conference that just finished.
I was expecting a photo of the Tory party conference
🤣🤣🤣
Kinda a rare self-burn there, using a still of your own face as the thumbnail for a video with this title… 🧐
I want there to be a kids TV show now about the John the Digger.
You could even have a talking dog as his sidekick and every episode someone falls in the cesspool.
"Alright lads, here we go. CHARGE!!!!….Ewwwww what is that smell? I've lost the will for battle! Let's go home!"
Could i trouble you to show the stars on your red wall in the background?
BRING BACK THE POOP WATER
HISTORY DEMANDS REMEMBRANCE
LET ME SMELL THE SEWAGE
Talk about not putting your best effort into it.
And here was me thinking the largest stagnant cesspool in London was the current Conservative party…
