Description:

There’s a mitten on a railing near the children’s playground at Coram Fields. A common enough sight. Go closer though and you will find it is made of painted bronze. What does it mean?

Peter Hayes of the Camden Tour Guides Association brings you a story of abandoned babies, accidental art galleries, and a ground-breaking charitable institution that continues to thrive hundreds of years later.

Special thanks to Caro Howell at the Foundling Museum and to Carol Harris at Coram.

Written and presented by Peter Hayes
Produced by Freddy Chick
