Show OLD LONDON MADE MODERN Circumstances Under Which the Traveler Trav-eler May See All That Ho Has Traveled Far to See. St. Etheldreda, in Ely place, Hol-born, Hol-born, London, is one of the old city churches about which Dickens declared declar-ed a full half of his pleasure in them arose from their mystery. That they existed in the streets of London was a sufficient satisfaction to him, but possibly pos-sibly he would have added St. Etheldreda Ethel-dreda to the list of the three famous old churches whose names he admitted were household words, if, on his night walks abroad he had heard the watchman watch-man cry the hour, as Etheldreda's watchman does to this day. Old London, Lon-don, lurking up byways and round corners, is still to be discovered by the curious who carry the lantern of a certain knowledgeableness. The cry, "Past ten, past eleven," from the watchman of the church with the Saxon Sax-on name, lying off Holborn with its asphalted pavements and motor buses, bears witness to the assertion. |
