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.
