Description
View of Chapel Court, Borough High Street, Southwark. Number 173 is a four-storey corner building occupied by 'The Blue Eyed Maid' with a public house sign hanging from the first floor, and the Watney's Brewery barrel above. The public house is believed to have existed since 1613. In 1841 the landlord of the Blue Maid was James Mantle who lived there with his wife and two of his children. The public house closed in 2020. "Blue Maid Court" is mentioned in Surrey Quarter Sessions from 1738, and is now Chapel Court, named after a chapel that occupied the site. The rear of the passageway was damaged by bombing in World War II. Number 169 is a three-storey corner building with attic. The ground-floor shop 'Presto Bar' cafe has advertisements in the windows for Pepsi. In the first-floor windows is a sign for 'Sidney Jones, Import and Export'. The whole building is now offices.
