The 1807 Hyatt map William Hyett produced an amazingly accurate map of the London countryside in 1807, using just pen and paper. An interior decorator with royal patronage, Frederick Crace amassed some 1200 printed and hand-drawn maps charting the development of the city and its immediate vicinity from around 1570 to 1860. A couple of these maps date from 1807 as William Hyett put pen and ink to paper and drew a remarkable accurate view of the then countryside around north and west London.

The Yorkshire Stingo (1770) This was a simple rural pub in Marylebone (named after strong ale from God’s Own County) before the building of London’s first bypass, the New Road (later Marylebone Road and Euston Road). Once the pub was connected to London by road, business took off in a dramatic way. Pleasure gardens were built at the rear where some of Britain’s first balloonists demonstrated. The pub was one of the earliest places to use the term ’music hall’ for vaudeville and burlesque once its music hall here opened on 24 August 1835. Most notably for London history, during 1829 George Shillibeer started London’s first omnibus service in the capital between the Yorkshire Stingo and the Bank of England. The route took it down the New Road, City Road, Moorgate to the Bank. Shillibeer’s name is commemorated in the nearby Shillibeer Place. The ’Stingo’ is no more - demolished in 1964 to make way for the widening of Marylebone Road to cater for the Marylebone Flyover.
