REPOSTED FROM LONDON DAILY PHOTO BLOG -- YE OLD LEATHER BOTTLE

       As you continue on the walk, through Frank's Park (a piece of woodland once the grounds of a large house, preserved and donated to the council by the widow of Farnk Beadle) you come across this unprepossessing pub. At first glance it looks like another faux-named modern monstrosity, but actually dates from 1643 when this would have been part of a main London-Dover thoroughfare. There seems to be quite a few "Leather Bottles" along this route.

NOTE:   I've mentioned Ham's London Daily Photo blog (click link) previously and reposted a couple of items from that space in order to draw attention to the blog and Ham's work.   Every day I look and learn.  Ham deserves everyone's support.
