A bit o history...Riceyman Steps..

[Who2]

They are a nice walk away about 5 minutes if your dawdling..
Past Amedia Edwards old 'blue-plaque place..

Arnold Bennett must have known this part of Clerkenwell pretty well.
I have finally got round to reading this fabulously well written and famous book, quite a character was Arnold Bennett.

I wandered over imagining it in 1920 difficult as they have built a travel lodge over it ffs...

The church which I think got bombed at the top has been a communal park for years.



Anyhow I'm going to buy a new camera and take a few pictures ...as I read on..

"Mind you there was also George Gissing, Peter Ackroyd, Beverly Barton,Tolstoy, Hogarth,Daniel Defoe,Charlie Dickens,
and not forgetting...Vladimir Lenin's' blue-plaque over in Percy Circus, Anthony Horowitz,
Oh! and my mate David Thewlis who wrote.



He lives in a 1920's ex trade union ballroom over in the red house on clerkenwell road..
it's probably now worth many millions not bad as he only paid £450k......

Great for parties.....

[Who2]

Saturday with the ****** offspring, most bar staff in the 'manor love her...
Oh! it's sunday not saturday...
The 'morning after, it's called 'hungover....
A football match in Cafe Kick f.f.b....noisy buggers..


She says;
"not bad skin without a trace of make-up, for 45"
I said "really I thought more like 25, your round" xxx

So, explaining my new found novel to her of Riceyman Steps,
she pipes up "What those bloody great steps down kings cross round"

But found somebody's better walk than mine, here with pictures..

Enjoy: mind you, I would have listed hostelries along the way....
