[83] The grounds originally extended on the north-east to a tavern called The Fountain, which was frequented by tea-parties:-- And there they sit so pleasant and cool, And see in and out the folks walk about, And gentlemen angling in Peerless Pool. (Lines in Hone, _loc. cit._). There is now a public house called The Old Fountain at the east end of Baldwin Street. The Shepherd and Shepherdess (_q.v._) was close by on the other side of the City Road. [84] Cp. Lewis’s _Islington_, p. 31, note 6, referring to August 1758. [85] For the connexion of the Salvation Army with the Eagle, and for some details as to the history of the Eagle tavern and gardens see _The Times_ for 1882 (Palmer’s _Index_, under “Salvation Army,” June to September). On the Eagle _see also_ Dickens, _Sketches by Boz_ (Miss Evans and the Eagle); Hollingshead’s _My Lifetime_, i. p. 25, ff.; Ritchie’s _Night-side of London_ (1858); Stuart and Park, _The Variety Stage_, p. 35, ff. &c.; _Era Almanack_, 1869, p. 80; H. Barton Baker’s _The London Stage_, ii. p. 254, ff.; and a view of the garden in Rogers’s _Views of Pleasure Gardens of London_, p. 57. [86] _The Post Man_, Oct. 3 to 6, 1702, has the advertisement “At Milend the garden and house called _the Jews Spring Garden_ is to be let. Enquire at Capt. Bendal’s at Milend” (_Notes and Queries_, 1st ser. ii. 463). Mr. Alexander Andrews (_ib._ 2nd ser. viii. 422) has shown that this Jews’ Spring Garden is in all probability to be identified with the Spring Garden marked in a map of Stepney parish of 1702. [87] Rayner, Master of the Spring Garden at Stepney, died April 3, 1743, aged 70 (_London Daily Post_ for 6 April, 1743). [88] _Low Life_ (1764), “Stepney Spring Gardens.” [89] Dodsley’s _London_ (1761), s.v. “Stepney.” There are modern streets known as Garden Street and Spring Garden Place, but these are some distance _south_ of the Mile End Road, not far from St. Dunstan’s, Stepney. [90] See Crace, _Cat._, p. 616, No. 80. [91] “The back entrance was from the fields, beyond which, north, was a narrow winding passage, with garden palings on each side, leading into High Street” (Smith’s _Book for a Rainy Day_, p. 39). [92] Pulled down in 1791. Devonshire Mews was built on the site. [93] These lines, often erroneously attributed to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, occur in Pope’s _The Basset-table, an Eclogue_. The allusion in the second line is to Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham. [94] Gough issued, 1738–9, silver tickets at 12_s._ each, admitting two persons for the season. In 1740 the silver season-ticket, admitting two, cost £1 1_s._ There are extant silver (or rather base silver) season tickets of 1766 (Wilkinson, _Londina_, vol. ii., last plate, No. 19) and of 1767 (Brit. Mus.). These later tickets, admitting two, cost £1 11_s._ 6_d._, or two guineas. There are copper tickets of 1770 (specimen in Brit. Mus.). In 1774 the ticket for two cost two guineas.
