Dirty Dick is a pub on Bishopsgate recreated the look of Bentley`s warehouse shop #176295256
Description
A pub on Bishopsgate which Bentley once owned changed its name from The Old Jerusalem to Dirty Dick`s, and recreated the look of Bentley`s warehouse shop.The contents, including cobwebs and dead cats, were originally a part of the cellar bar, but have now been tidied to a glass display case. Successive owners of the Bishopsgate distillery and its tap capitalised on the legend. By the end of the nineteenth century, its owner, a public house company called William Barker`s D.D. Ltd., was producing commemorative booklets and promotional material to advertise the pub.The pub is now owned by Young`s. Nathaniel Bentley is considered as a possible inspiration for Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens` Great Expectations after he refused to wash following the death of his fiancée on their wedding day
