[Scole Inn, Diss.] Schoale Inn.
Joshua Kirby Delin.t. Jn.o Fessey Sculp.
Publish'd by H. Martin according to act of Parliament May 1. 1740.
Rare engraving. Sheet 355 x 475mm (14 x 18¾"). Trimmed within plate, tear through publication line, laid on card.
The exterior of Scole Inn, with its massive sign spanning the road outside. Once called the White Hart, it was built in 1655 to serve this coaching traffic. Both Charles II and Admiral Nelson slept there, and highwayman John Belcher is said to have ridden his horse up the stairs at the inn to evade the law. The hunting-themed sign was also constructed in 1655, costing £1057 to make and erect, with over twenty-five carved figures, including Diana and Cerberus, Neptune and a deer-headed man. It was removed in the early 19th century, as it cost too much to maintain.
[Ref: 61263] £320.00
