I find the old pubs in England so fascinating - both for the idea that a business can last so long and for their unique architecture. This pub, the Rising Sun on Tottenham Ct, was established on this corner in 1730 and rebuilt in 1897. I came across it on a beautiful sunny day just glowing away, as you can see, and I can still remember the thrill of seeing it. This is the weather I had for the whole 19 days in England - no rain!
It's a beautiful building even the name of the pub is cool!
ReplyDelete19 days without rain in England is unbelievable! I've never bought so many umbrellas in my life as in the time I spent in London...
No rain? NO rain? No RAIN?
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess you would have noticed.
Glad you noticed this gorgeous building, though, and to think it's a pub just makes me giggle. Gotta love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Red Pat, these pix bring back fond memories....I remember spending time with friends in the Rising Sun when I was younger! And that shot of London Lane!! I know exactly where it is, the street is called Hanway street and it leads from Oxford St through to what used to be my favourite Spanish bar, called Bradleys Bar, the original bar was just on the corner in the left of the photo, sadly closed down over ten years ago now, replaced by a newer establishment I suspect!
