BULL-BAITING ON THE ICE AT SOUTHWARK 1608
The piers of Old London Bridge
tended to check the flow of
the Thames, so that the river
was sometimes frozen over.
This happened in 1608 and
many " set up booths upon the
ice as fruit-sellers, victuallers,
etc." In 1684 there was an-
other severe frost, and Evelyn
records " booths in formal
streets, all sorts of trades and
shops, furnished and full of
commodities, even to a print-
ing press on the ice. Coaches
plied from Westminster to the
Temple (on the ice), and there
were sleds, a bull-baiting, horse
and coach races and puppet-
plays". The tall building in the
illustration is the old Globe
Theatre, Southwark.
