Well during the black death many people were killed. This made all populated places with the black death reek of dead bodies and corpses. This is where the song "ring around the rosie" originated. "Ring around the rosie" meant all the dead bodies around, so the place smelled a lot so they stuffed the corpses pockets with flowers or posie. That is where the line "pockets full of posie" originated. Near the end of the black death they burned the bodies seized by the plague to eradicate the disease, of course this formed into a problem when the, powerful at the time, catholic church wanted to preform a proper burial. Then the last line, "ashes, ashes, they all fall down" represents when they burn the bodies of the victims.

Italy and nearly everyone was buried at Black Heath, London
London lost its majority of population. Black Death killed 30-60% of its population.
No-one died in London in 1347 in the Black Daeth, it wasn't introduced at the time it was only in Italy
Black death happend during middle ages
The great fire of London.
i think around 1660s
the great fire f London cured the black death as it killed all the rats and burned all the fleas
The Black Death.
It wasn't flies that caused the black death, it was in fact fleas carried by black rats which came to England aboard ships from China in 1348. The ships came carrying silks and to trade. The first cases of the black death were reported in Weymouth Dorset before spreading to London. The great fire of London they say is what stopped the black death but that opens up another shed full of history then. hope this bit of info has helped =)
