This may very well be apocryphal, but Turnmills (where I also spent many years of my life) is supposed to have been the base of Ikey Solomons, the original for Dickens' Fagin. |
...and Turnmill Street is also supposed to have been the setting for Hogarth's "Gin Lane". |
...except that I have since Googled, and have discovered that Gin Lane was actually based upon St. Giles. No idea where that idea came from, then! |
More Hogarth on Friday... |
