Born in Dublin in 1845, Thomas John Barnado was a workaholic Irishman whose nonstop efforts in the cause of children's welfare landed him in an early grave at the age of 60. However, in his own area of work it's fair to say he changed Britain forever, as much as any one man can. Martin Levy digs into the filth and rot of what was the world's biggest empire to discover what this man was up against, and how wonderfully well he succeeded.
