A TRADITION OF CLIVE FADES AWAY
A paragraph in the November number of the ‘ P.L.A. Monthly ’ puts an end to the picturesque story that Clive was employed in Houndsditch before he went to India. “ Some seeker after information regarding the earlier life of the great Clive arrived at the Port Authority’s Cutler street warehouses armed with a clipping from the old ‘ Morning Loader ’ newspaper of February 20, 1900. This showed an article by no less a person than Mr James Douglas, now editor of the ‘ Sunday Express.’ The imaginative essay of Mr Douglas stated categorically, that Clive had been employed at Cutler street, and referred to ‘the little room in which Clive worked.’ “ Careful research and examination of records give no support whatever for the belief that Clive was over employed at Cutler street. It is suggested that any picturesque tradition of this sort is much more likely to belong to the old East India House in Leadenhall street.”.
