Description: | The George and Vulture in Bengal Court, close to the Royal Exchange and Bank of England, is one of the oldest pubs in London. It was associated with Charles Dickens, having featured in 'The Pickwick Papers'. In St Michael's Alley, which leads off the court, is the Jamaica Wine House, once the site of a 17th-century coffee house.
Edwin Smith took this photo to illustrate the blend of modernity and tradition in the City for the book 'The Living City', published by the Corporation of London in 1957. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Edwin Smith/RIBA Library | Subjects: | Cityscape | Temporal: | 1931-1970 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
