Talk:Narrow Street

....including The Grapes public house, immortalised as the Six Jolly Fellowship Porters in Charles Dickens' work, Our Mutual Friend. Built in 1720, the pub is now a listed building and backs onto the Thames waterfront.

"The first reference to the house being used for sale of alcohol occurs at beginning of the 18th century. From 1787-97 the name is recorded as the Bunch of Grapes but from the 1850s it was just known as The Grapes.Charles Dickens knew this public house and it is said to be the original of the fictional Jolly Fellowship Porters. As The Porters was described as being much larger, the Prospect of Whitby is another candidate as is the now demolished Two Brewers, Limehouse. The fictional inn may in fact be an amalgam of various riverside taverns".

History
If the 1827 map (Narrowstreet1827.jpg) is correct then Limehouse Bridge Dock is not 'now Limehouse Basin' as suggested here. Limehouse Basin (at one stage called the Regent's Canal Dock) is shown on the 1827 map ('Basin'), and Limehouse Bridge Dock can be seen on the 1827 map just below where the Limehouse Cut then reached the Thames.

 * "The Narrow" is in the former Dockmaster's House - difficult to see how this could have been the brewery. Although, it might have been built on site of ... Kbthompson (talk) 17:52, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

"In 1823, Taylor Walker & Co Ltd started brewing at the site of today's pub The Narrow formerly The Barley Mow." - this is complete rubbish. The brewery was 400 yards to the east, on the other side of the road, it dated back to at least 1745 and Taylor Walker was the name of the partnership there from 1816. There WAS a Barley Mow pub attached to the brewery, opposite the Grapes pub, which disappeared at some time. Zythophile (talk) 14:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, you've had more than three years to correct that totally wrong claim about the Taylor Walker brewery, it's wrong, I'm deleting it. Zythophile (talk) 12:55, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
