Description: | Rural Hampstead was infested with wolves as late as the 13th Century, and only became a fashionable area to live near with the discovery of springs which were purported to have healing properties in 1698. It has traditionally been popular with writers and poets; the Kit-Kat Club, whose members included Steele, Pope and Dr. Arbuthnot, met at the Upper Flask in East Heath Road; Keats, Leigh Hunt and Shelley were also frequent visitors. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Jukes, Francis | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Rural Scenes Landmarks Cartography And Topography | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Sarjent, Francis Jukes (1747-1812) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
