"The unenviable practice of sin-eating was usually undertaken by beggars and the poor, who would “pawn their souls”—or be paid to eat and drink over a corpse—to “take on” the sins of the suddenly deceased (who had been unable to confess their sins before death). In the Christian faith, it was thought this ritual ensured the recently departed an untroubled passage into Heaven."
this guy died in 1906 btw!

Oh right, I only know the word 'sin-eater' from a Guided By Voices song, I just assumed it was some gobbledygook Robert Pollard nonsense.

Think they mean the bridge itself, which is completely nondescript - weird not to go for Tower Bridge but I guess it doesn't have any nursery rhymes about it. I bet loads of parochial morons think Tower Bridge IS London Bridge tbh

the older Bridge Houses were built by 18th century bounders/cads who used them to live between two jurisdictions and avoid land tax which is at least more interesting than anything you could say about london bridge iirc

re: make do and mend. I think it is probably a good thing that small tailoring/alteration businesses (that mostly disappeared in the 90's iirc) seem to be do doing well and making a comeback on the dying high streets in recent years.
