Wilkes Head (jan 1, 1780 – 19h 1min, sep 22, 2025 y)
Description:
One interesting memory of the fire of 1297 was suggested to me by the discovery that an early name of the Wilkes Head pub was the Phoenix. The medieval tavern that bore that name would have stood at the edge of a far larger market square including the Sheep market and Custard St (now Stanley Street). And of course a Phoenix famously arises from the ashesAdded to timeline:
