Okay, over to you guy's next question please...

'If it Wasn't for the 'Ouses Inbetween'

I don't know, Terry, but I know the River Ouse runs through York.  lol

Well done Ruth, Gold star for geography.

Clue:

He was born in Pimlico, London 22 July 1862(1862-07-22) – and died in Balham, London 17 February 1940(1940-02-17) (aged 77)

He began his career busking, and found a position singing in a minstrel troupe. His solo success began with the coster songs, sung in 1891 at the Middlesex Music Hall when his comedy partner, a man named Daniels, died in a boating accident. They had performed a 'blackface' comedy act, but solo he performed cockney songs and sketches as a 'coster' comedian, dressed in the clothes of a poor East End Costermonger.

He was praised as an "authentic cockney from the poor streets" and was well known for his involvement in personally organized charity events. For many years he and his wife distributed free Christmas gifts to the poor in public.

Many of his songs spoke of the living conditions of ordinary workers. Commenting on the overcrowded poor parts of London, in one of his songs, he takes on the persona of a proud tenant boasting about the dismal place he lives in, and in particular the view from his 'garden'

Wiv a ladder and some glasses
You could see to 'Ackney Marshes
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between

Anyone get the idea I kinda like this guy, just sad I never got to see him perform 'live', he died the year before I was born, bad timing!!
