LONDON’S UNCHANGED PREGREAT FIRE TAVERN. The Old Wine Shades, in Martin’s Lane, Cannon Street, London, is probably the only licensed bouse in the City that, having survived the Fire, has undergone no structural change since that catastrophe. Here are to be seen the most perfect examples extant of those old wooden “pews” beloved by our forefathers, each furnished with its appropriate oaken table, worn smooth by centuries of use. The labyrinthine cellars are almost certainly much older even than the superstructure. Arches of masonry of enormous strength support massive oaken beams such as in these days are rarely seen even in a timber yard while sundry brif kod-up passages would seem to : ndmate that this subterranean maze was once of greater extent than at present.
