EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1875 photograph of The Bell Inn, Edmonton, transports us back in time to an era beautifully depicted in William Cowper's 1782 ballad, "The Diverting History of John Gilpin." The Bell Inn, located in the picturesque town of Edmonton, north of London, gained its fame through this classic English poem. John Gilpin, the star character of the ballad, was a draper from Cheapside in London. On a journey to the Bell Inn, Edmonton, to meet his wife and children, Gilpin's horse bolted, leaving him stranded in the town of Ware. The misadventure of Gilpin's journey to The Bell Inn has been immortalized in Cowper's humorous and entertaining verse. The photograph, taken in 1875, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quaint and rustic charm of The Bell Inn. The image reveals a two-storied, red-brick building with a thatched roof, adorned with ivy and surrounded by lush greenery. The Bell Inn, with its inviting appearance, continues to stand as a testament to the rich history and tradition of English literature and innkeeping. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring allure of stories like "The Diverting History of John Gilpin," which continue to captivate our imaginations and transport us to a time when life's simple journeys could lead to the most unexpected adventures.
