Established in 1745 as The Old Jerusalem, the drinking house took the name of Dirty Dick’s in 1814.

Nathaniel Bentley (c. 1735–1809), commonly known as Dirty Dick, was an 18th and 19th-century merchant who owned a hardware shop and warehouse, and is considered as a possible inspiration for Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. Bentley refused to wash following the death of his fiancée on their wedding day.

He was a previous owner of this pub in Bishopsgate Without.

The contents, including cobwebs and dead cats from the original warehouse, were originally a part of the cellar bar, but have now been tidied to a glass display case. Successive owners of the Bishopsgate distillery and its tap capitalised on the legend. By the end of the nineteenth century, its owner, a public house company called William Barker’s (D.D.) Ltd., was producing commemorative booklets and promotional material to advertise the pub. The pub had to undergo a degree of deep cleansing in the 1980s in order to comply with health and safety legislation.

This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.
