Much of William Shakespeare's life is shrouded in mystery – but a key riddle has just been solved, thanks to a newly discovered floorplan.
A historical document found in the London Archives reveals the precise location of The Bard's only property in the capital.
It can now be pinpointed to 5 St Andrew's Hill – a quiet Blackfriars street close to his workplace at the nearby theatre and within stumbling distance of a pub.

That was some diligent research!
It is always in the last place you look.
LOL...Yes...yes it is.
The old Jeff Foxworthy routine.
Well duh!
PING!
From a bit more recent time than the threads you usually post, OTOH on wonders how long before Britain is a sunken civilisation.
:-(
Shakespeare is that black trans Muslim who wrote those contemporary plays right?
Yes I wonder what the muslims will eventually do with it.
“wonder what the muslims will eventually do with it.”
I’ve been wondering the same thing particularly about Westminster Abbey.
Yes, a lot of wonderful people who made civilization GREAT will be wiped out, their history extinguished by conquering barbarians. Sad.
You forgot “woman.”
Thanks Adder! The theater in Blackfriars served a tonier crowd. Shakespeare had been such a favorite of James I that he was one of the VIPs who carried the canopy for the coronation.
And some 'historical experts' said he never lived... BS!!
All is True.
I bet it needs a good dusting.

Is William Shakespeare LGBTQ?
AI Overview
Whether William Shakespeare was LGBTQ is a matter of debate, but modern scholars increasingly argue he was likely bisexual. Evidence primarily comes from his sonnets, which include passionate, intimate love poems addressed to a young man (”Fair Lord”) and a woman (”Dark Lady”), leading some experts to label him as “[...undeniably bisexual](https://therustintimes.com/2020/08/29/researchers-say-william-shakespeare-was-undeniably-bisexual-after-27-poems-written-for-men/)”.

Key details regarding the discussion of Shakespeare’s sexuality include:
The Sonnets: Of 154 sonnets, many are addressed to a male subject (”lord of my love,” “sweet love,” “my sweet boy”), while others are addressed to a woman, suggesting attraction to both.
Scholarly Consensus: Researchers like Paul Edmondson and Stanley Wells argue that the language in the sonnets, especially 144, 40, and 133, strongly indicates bisexual desires.
Historical Context: While Shakespeare’s work features same-sex love, themes of cross-dressing, and gender fluidity, it is important to note that modern LGBTQ identities did not exist in the same way in the 16th century.
How dare you assume their gender!
The semi-literate actor who styled himself “Shakspear” was a family man, but Edward de Vere was almost certainly bisexual.
Was a family man with other interests.
