Fetter Lane, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of London's City of London, is a captivating street that holds within its history and architecture the tales of bygone eras. As you stroll along this enchanting lane, you are transported back to a time when grandeur and elegance defined the United Kingdom. Corporate buildings around New Fetter Place stand tall, exuding an air of sophistication and power. These towering structures serve as a testament to the bustling business hub that London has become. Just off New Fetter Lane, near Chancery Lane tube station, lies Barnards Inn – a sight captured beautifully in a black and white photograph from 1879. This image allows us to glimpse into the past and witness how this area has evolved over time. "The Cambridge Telegraph" at White Horse on Fetter Lane takes us back even further to 1825 through an exquisite engraving. The scene depicts horse-drawn carriages passing by, symbolizing the hustle and bustle of daily life during that era. John Dryden's House in it also makes an appearance through an etching – reminding us of the literary greats who once graced these streets with their presence. A gateway leading to White Horse Inn showcases another facet of Fetter Lane's rich tapestry in a vibrant color lithograph from 1898. It serves as a portal into history where one can imagine lively conversations taking place within its walls. The London Parcels Delivery Company had its home on Fetter Lane – depicted beautifully in yet another lithograph – showcasing how commerce thrived here even centuries ago. The house said to have been occupied by Dryden stands proudly through an engraving; it whispers secrets only those willing to listen can hear. No 10 Nevills Court comes alive through a colorful lithograph from 1891 - offering glimpses into everyday life during that period while Bits of Old London captures the essence of the White Horse Tavern, which sadly faced demolition.
