Title
Interior of Old Pewterers' Hall in Lime Street
Description
A wooden panelled interior at the Old Pewterers' Hall, Lime Street, City of London. A hat former in the foreground suggests that the items behind are hats wrapped in tissue paper. Hat boxes are stacked up in the background and under the desk area. Document spikes sit on the unit under lamp to the left. It seems that the Hatmakers' Company used Pewterers' Hall after they were left without a hall due to a fire. The first hall, which was built in 1496, burnt down in the Great Fire of 1666. This detail is from the second hall of 1670 (designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668), which was burnt in 1840. This photograph was taken in 1932, the year of its demolition.
