Feeling brave enough to share an illustration in the making from the #memorymazelondon With building work beginning in 1176 during the reign of Henry II and ending 33 years later in 1209 during the reign of King John, the phenominal structure was demolished in 1831.

From the 1720 No.6 in King Street to the 1766 Windmill that once worked on the edge of the gorge, known as 'the snuff mill', burnt down, used as a studio and is now Clifton Observatory
All these buildings still exist and mark nearly a 50 yr period of building #LocalHistoryMonth

@brizmiz About 10 years ago I discovered this in Berkeley Square and all 4 monarchs had white knitted ruffs around their necks! Thought it was really weird - I always wondered who knitted them and put them there!
