Over the course of almost 450 years the dwelling on this site has witnessed many changes. From its windows, people have watched the ferrymen carry Londoners to and from Shakespeare’s Globe; they have gazed on the Great Fire; they have seen the countrified lanes of London’s marshy south bank give way to a network of wharves, workshops and tenements – and then seen these, too, become dust and empty air.* This is a NEAR VG++ ex school-library copy of the 1st thus. 1st. Imp. fnl, with usual stamps and labels plus light age darkening reducing it to VG+.*
