1871 Hampstead Jack Older Taverns
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Two of the Older Taverns of Hampstead: The Spaniards Hotel and Jack Straws Castle Hotel,' dates back to September 1871. The image, published by Iln, provides a glimpse into the rich historical past of Hampstead, a charming village located in the northern part of London. The Spaniards Hotel, depicted on the left side of the image, is a well-known and historic tavern that has been a popular destination for visitors and locals alike for centuries. Its distinctive red-tiled roof and ornate Victorian-era facade make it a striking addition to the landscape. The Spaniards Inn, as it is commonly known, has a long and intriguing history, with stories of smugglers, highwaymen, and even a connection to the famous poet John Keats. On the right side of the image stands Jack Straws Castle Hotel, another iconic tavern that has been a part of Hampstead's history for over two centuries. Named after the Jack Straw's Castle pub in Kent, this tavern was a popular gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals in the 19th century. The castle-like structure, with its turreted towers and impressive chimneys, adds to the fairy-tale-like charm of Hampstead. This engraving is an important historical record of these two beloved taverns, which have played a significant role in the cultural and social history of Hampstead. Today, they continue to be popular destinations for visitors and locals, offering a glimpse into the past while providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in London's history, Hampstead's heritage, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty and charm of Victorian-era England.
