I can't actually see any lettering there, but "Fine Ales and Stout" was probably a common phrase at the time.dakotaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804592205708387211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-25895035935426464862013-03-26T14:26:52.079+00:002013-03-26T14:26:52.079+00:00I am currently researching the history, developmen...I am currently researching the history, development and decline of the market in this area and have written an article on this building and as Sebastien says the interior was a lavish affair, I have put links to the original photographs on my blog.<br /><br />There has been a public house called the Old Dover Castle since certainly 1869 as the Post Office Directory of that year shows an S Pond as the Landlord.<br /><br />The building now standing is from the late 1890's.<br /><br />http://newcutmarket.blogspot.co.uk/Market researcher.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01033082127349019231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-67072817337716129042012-05-24T07:56:07.450+01:002012-05-24T07:56:07.450+01:00Thanks for this post and the link to the images of...Thanks for this post and the link to the images of the building. Treadwell and Martin were interesting architects, who were typically of their time in their ability to mix up the styles, combining Baroque, Dutch renaissance, Art Nouveau - all sorts. There is a lovely distillery in Fetter Lane by them.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-75052119326352742612012-05-23T13:44:29.171+01:002012-05-23T13:44:29.171+01:00This was one of several pubs across London built b...This was one of several pubs across London built by Treadwell & Martin, who had a reputation for lavish interiors.
