I bet Charlotte was tuns o fun.
Too bad the Standard didn’t have pictures. There are several old taverns from as far back as the 15th century still in operation in London where you can lift a glass and think about all the old topers who’ve done the same on that very spot. Very inspiring.
Around 1900, there were still some Elizabethan structures that had (obviously) survived the Great Fire, including one of the inns that used to be frequented by Shakespeare.
Photos were taken of the exteriors of the structures, then they were all demolished to make way for some no-doubt tasteful Victorian construction.
