Blackfriars: Appointment in London (Memories of London #3)

0/5 ( ratings)

Blackfriars Britain Travel Library - Appointment in London

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show. When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford. Let's see our appointment in Blackfriars. On the river-side, between St. Paul's and Whitefriars, there stood, in the Middle Ages, three Norman fortresses. Castle Baynard and the old tower of Mountfiquet were two of them. Baynard Castle, granted to the Earls of Clare and afterwards rebuilt by Humphrey Duke of Gloucester, was the palace in which the Duke of Buckingham offered the crown to his wily confederate, Richard the Crookback. In Queen Elizabeth's time it was granted to the Earls of Pembroke, who lived there in splendour till the Great Fire melted their gold, calcined their jewels, and drove them into the fashionable flood that was already moving westward.

Charles Dickens Blackfriars walk, “My usual way home was over Blackfriars Bridge and down that turning in the Blackfriars Road, which has Rowland Hill’s Chapel on one side and the likeness of a golden dog licking a golden pot over a shop door on the other.”
