Inns And Taverns Of Old London is a book written by Henry C. Shelley that explores the history and culture of the various inns and taverns that were once prominent in London. The book is a detailed account of the social and economic significance of these establishments, which were popular gathering places for locals and travelers alike. Shelley provides an in-depth look at the architecture, decor, and clientele of these establishments, as well as the food and drink that was served. From the bustling pubs of the East End to the elegant coffee houses of the West End, Inns And Taverns Of Old London offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of one of the world's most iconic cities. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of London, as well as those interested in the social and cultural significance of public houses and drinking establishments.No evidence is available to establish the actual date when the Tabard was built; Stow speaks of it as among the most ancient of the locality; but the nearest approach to definite dating assigns the inn to the early fourteenth century. One antiquary indeed fixes the earliest distinct record of the site of the inn in 1304, soon after which the Abbot of Hyde, whose abbey was in the neighbourhood of Winchester, here built himself a town mansion and probably at the same time a hostelry for travellers. Three years later the Abbot secured a license to erect a chapel close by the inn. It seems likely, then, that the Tabard had its origin as an adjunct of the town house of a Hampshire ecclesiastic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
