Bear Gardens London SE1 9 http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/bear-garden.htm |
Long ago, before people came to the realization that bears have souls too, Bear Gardens was home to the immensely popular Elizabethan sport of bear-baiting, where dogs were set upon chained bears and trained to kill them. Now the site is home (among warehouses and offices) to a red brick house which is part of the New Globe Theatre. The brick house displays a lone, black, stuffed bear as a memorial to the street's sordid history. Review © 2009, Wcities |
