Butcher Row, a name that echoes through the centuries, holds a rich history within its cobbled streets. From Temple Bar to Exeter and London, this iconic street has witnessed the ebb and flow of time. Engravings and lithographs transport us back to an era long gone. Temple Bar stands proudly at one end of Butcher Row, its grandeur captured in intricate detail. The bustling scene depicts a vibrant thoroughfare where merchants once traded their wares. In Exeter, another engraving reveals The Butcher Row's charm. Old houses line the street, each with stories etched into their timeworn facades. Beaumont House stands as a testament to the architectural beauty that graced this historic district. London too boasts its own version - a lively lithograph showcasing buildings teeming with life. This depiction invites us to imagine the sounds and smells that would have filled these busy streets. One engraving transports us further back in time - June 9th, 1796 - as we gaze upon Butcher Row from Temple Bar through Edward Dayes' eyes. His meticulous drawing captures every detail, allowing us to step into his world for just a moment. But it is not only grandeur and architecture that define Butcher Row; there are tales of intrigue hidden within its walls. Legend suggests that the right-hand corner house on St Clements Lane was once used by leaders of the infamous Gunpowder Plot – an eerie reminder of darker times past.
