The Old Dick Whittington (Also known as The Old Dick) #RIP ⚰️
Once situated at 24 #ClothFair, #Farringdon, #London, the original beerhouse opened in 1846 and was previously a 16th century timber framed house.
The Corporation of London acquired the building in 1916 so as to create a new thoroughfare from Long Lane to #Aldersgate
As a result it was subsequently demolished never to be seen again.
I have to say this really is a tragic loss that many of us wouldn't have seen without others who preserved such images before us.
We must do the same while we're here to do so.

The site has housed pubs since the 1700s, with the current building being built in 1888.
It even had a cable car service up to #HighgateHill which ended outside the pub.
In 2014, the Archway Tavern was unfortunately closed due to a licensing dispute. For a brief time it re-opened as the Intrepid Fox, and then 'Dusk till Dawn'. The pub reopened again in 2021 as the Archway. 🖊 @VinnieSull1van

Night you cunning beastards, I know you're all in on it, listening from the floorboards!
But I know you're there, oh yes!
