Our most recent post about Ludgate and the Blackfriars area brought me back to April 2013 when Les and I visited London and explored Fleet Street. We were looking for the four dragons that guard each of the four entrances into The City. One is located on Fleet street and it led us to St. Clement Danes church with its touching memorials to the RAF and the air force of other countries who were allies in WWII. Mrs. Thatcher's funeral was the next day and we walked in to the route being planned at St. Clement Danes. We carried on up Fleet St. and just before the Old Cheshire Cheese Pub we found the Bolt Court snickelway or ginnel. It leads between the buildings on Fleet street and veers to the left to connect with Hind Court. There are the end is a courtyard with seats around a small back statue of Dr. Samuel JOhnson's cat. His house is at the end of the courtyard. It was a lovely surprise for us both. Les was born and raised in West London and he thought he knew the city like the back of his hand. He knew all the main streets but with me we discovered the hidden catcreeps and unusual features of the city--all for free. Your wonderfully well researched and written post brought back lovely memories of time in London with my Best Beloved. <br /><br />Hugs, <br /><br />Jaq xxx<br /><br />Mrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-25473404183853363592018-05-01T15:08:32.899+00:002018-05-01T15:08:32.899+00:00Hello Back Porch!
