The Tabard Inn, as depicted in this image, stands proudly with its galleried facade and red-tiled roof, surrounded by the bustling activity of Southwark's streets. It was here, in this very inn, that Chaucer's pilgrims gathered before embarking on their journey to Canterbury in the 14th century. The Tabard Inn, a popular resting place for travelers, was not only a place to drink and dine but also a gathering spot for storytellers and scholars. This 1810 print, selected from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the inn's grandeur and charm that has survived the test of time. The inn's rich history is further highlighted by its association with Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," a collection of stories told by the pilgrims during their journey.
