21 The Mint & the Catacombs
on Wednesday, 13 May 2009
The first outside visit of the year, on a cold and wet May morning started at the Cathedral with a walk to 21 the Mint, via St Olave's Church. Our Redcoat guide was very knowledgeable, pointing out unusual features that many have walked past hundreds of times without noticing – in Mint Lane there is a well in a garden that was never contaminated by cholera in 1832, saving many locals from the disease – or the site of Allhallows Church in Bartholomew Yard that was a parachute factory and after the war, a corset factory before demolition.
