There's another. I bought this 1836 Day & Haghe lithograph of the Western Entrance into Ancient Lindum inscribed to John, Earl Brownlow by Samuel Tuke in a Lincoln auction last night. I cannot find any other copy of it, which is intriguing ...pic.twitter.com/vaLQMEoNaH
a great find
I think it may be: it shows better detail than the engraving from The Gentleman's Magazine, the whole in a slightly less catastrophic state of collapse; possibly drawn just as they realised they'd better backfill it to avoid worse disasters!
Just tracked down one at Belton House in the National Trust Collection; that would be a likely spot to find one, given it was Earl Brownlow's house and the lithograph is inscribed to him.http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/433935
This is marvellous - thank you! May I use your picture in a blog post about this?
Of course!
Thank you!
You've made a discovery and a half, here!
Yes, it was Philip Ball, landlord of the Struggler/s pub. He ended up in the Fleet prison in London for his troubles, and it all got very political
He was a bit unstable, by all accounts...
Not as unstable as the gate! He was called a Radical and was banged up for contempt of the Chancery Court. An activist about the state of the Fleet prison
And ended up in an asylum... http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=299634.9 …
Crikey! The rootschat forum quotes my article about Ball in the Lincs Echo I did a while ago. I have stuff about Ball but can't attach docs to tweets. If interested I can email what I have.
Ah no its fine, but thank you. I read that article!
In the Echo? If it is online, I would like to get a link, as I don't have a copy.
No in the physical paper, didn't keep it.
Thank you so much!
Is there anywhere one can read about this?
Found the Gentleman's Magazine article here:https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9SNIAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA583&lpg=PA583&dq=lindum+west+gate+1836&source=bl&ots=IEfpyllC6A&sig=Lc70Apj4qzOm1lgEkv1JwYV1alE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjCsMWnzIXZAhWJKMAKHeeHCTwQ6AEwAnoECBIQAQ#v=onepage&q=lindum%20west%20gate%201836&f=false …
