View of shops with rooms above in Bell Yard, City of London, looking south towards Fleet Street, just visible beyond the buildings at the end of the cul-de-sac. Premises, left, opposite to shops, offices, and workrooms, seen with canted bay upper-floor windows, and signs and street lamps cantilevering from the front wall, includes The Three Herrings Tavern at 14 and 15, with a sign advertising Allsopp's strong Burton ales, wines, spirits, joints, turtle soup, and steaks in their dining, supping, and smoking rooms, (Henry Geo.) Stevens and Haynes, law bookseller, William Rackett at 10, and Thomas Hull at 9, both fireproof box makers, and William Gillet, optician, at number 6 on the far side of Apollo Court. Other shops and businesses in the lane include coffee rooms, woodworking trades, stationers, printers and booksellers, tailors, and grocers, fruiterers, dairy and fishmongers. The buildings were demolished c1873 and replaced by The Royal Courts of Justice, right, in the City of Westminster, and four-storey offices and showrooms in the classical style, including the c1886 Italianate Law Court’s branch of The Old Bank of England, left on the corner with Fleet street on land formerly occupied by The Haunch of Venison public house and other shops and offices.
