EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the enchanting streets of Devereux Court in Westminster, central London. Taken by Walter Benington in the 1930s, it captures a moment frozen in time that is steeped in rich history. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the signs advertising Claymore and Dewars whisky, reminding us of a bygone era when these establishments were bustling with activity. This narrow pedestrian street was once home to the legendary Grecian Coffee House and Toms Coffee House - renowned meeting places for literary giants during the 17th and 18th centuries. The significance of this location goes beyond its literary connections. It was here that Sarah Mapp the Bonesetter practiced her medical trade, even performing operations in front of Sir Hans Sloane himself. The echoes of their presence can still be felt within these historic walls. The architectural charm of Devereux Court is evident as we observe its beautiful buildings lining both sides of the street. Each structure tells a story from another time - an architectural testament to London's past. This remarkable photograph comes from "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock. It serves as a window into a world long gone but not forgotten – capturing both the grandeur and intimacy that define this hidden gem nestled within Westminster's cityscape.
