Note 83 — I CLERKENWELL AND CENTRAL GROUP
Reading edition
The grounds originally extended on the north-east to a tavern called The Fountain, which was frequented by tea-parties:—
And there they sit so pleasant and cool, And see in and out the folks walk about, And gentlemen angling in Peerless Pool.
(Lines in Hone, loc. cit.). There is now a public house called The Old Fountain at the east end of Baldwin Street. The Shepherd and Shepherdess (q.v.) was close by on the other side of the City Road.
