Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.An article in the "National Geographic" mentioned, that because of the massive rebuilding of London and especially all the work being done on the underground tube a lot of discoveries are being made. Contractors must hat working in a place with a famous past.

What fun that must have been. After ten weeks of lock down the idea of going to a pub outside town for a social drink and an outdoor stage performance, seems like a wonderful treat, and a distant memory in more ways than one.
And in those days all you could catch was the black death, fleas, lice, leprosy and the English sweating fever, well worth the risk. LOL

Indeed, it does seem like a distant memory in more ways than one. Who knows, maybe the whole pandemic thing will spur a resurgence of outdoor theatre with open air and distancing options. And, of course, a bar.
