It's very difficult (impossible?) to corroborate the Anderson account of the origins of the English Grand Lodge, says @ajprescott. #sankey

Charles St. in London (today Wellington St.) where the Apple Tree Tavern was (not) in 1716, says @Ajprescott #sankey

#Sankey Ultimately, more we look at Anderson, less we can trust the accuracy of his account

[Brock History Dept @HistoryBrockU]

#Sankey Anderson depended on written documents, second-hand knowledge and inference to write 1738 account - wasn't actually at Apple Tree

[Brock History Dept @HistoryBrockU]

#Sankey Stukeley, 1721 account counters Anderson's 1738 Genesis story: "great difficulty in finding members enough to perform the ceremony"

[Brock History Dept @HistoryBrockU]

#Sankey Anthony Sayer first Grand Master from 1717, according to fragments of info from Anderson in the 1730s

[Brock History Dept @HistoryBrockU]

#Sankey Charles Street site of mixed social demographics: baths, taverns, and brothels. Artists, painters, sideshows - a real mix

[Mike Driedger @Mike_Driedger]

.@Ajprescott & Susan Sommers argue the Apple Tree Tavern couldn't have been meeting place for the founding meeting of Grand Lodge #sankey
