When Ye Have Sought the City Round: Book of London Curiosities

ByRoger Sligo

The Title of this book - "When ye have sought the city round" is from the sculpture of Panyer Alley. The sculptured Panyer boy first sat on his basket in 1688, the Great fire of London had only occurred twenty-two years before. Looking down on London, seeing all the changes taking place over three hundred and twenty years. Although he claims to be on the highest ground, it is not actually true, Cornhill in the City of London has that distinction. This is just one of the many London Curiosities. Follow me a London-taxicab driver of more than a quarter of a century, with a passion for hidden London. With over a hundred pages of oddities, each with its own picture, which will give you plenty to think about. "When ye have sought the city round yet still this is the highest ground. August the 27 1688."
