Eric dusts off Timothy Richards and James Stevens Curl’s 1972 City of London Pubs book, and follows it through today’s City of London’s Cheapside neighborhood. An episode stuffed with closed pubs, surviving gems, and even a cranky ghost named Martha. From Balls Brothers (RIP) to Ye Olde Watling (still standing, still creaky), and The Golden Fleece (where brokers fleeced their clients), this episode goes back to the pub future.
