Synopsis

First published in 1913, Covent Garden is an "historical and topographical account of one of the most interesting spots in the metropolis." Reginald Jacobs charts the history of the area, world-famous as the location of the Royal Opera House and Covent Garden Market, from its unassuming beginnings as the "convent garden," a burial-ground belonging to Westminster Abbey prior to Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries, to the early 20th century. Along the way he records all manner of interesting facts about Covent Garden, covering such well-known places as St. Paul's Church, Bow Street, Covent Garden Theatre--now the Opera House--Drury Lane, the Garrick Club, and the Market.
