[311] In De Castro’s _Memoirs_ (1824) it is stated that he died “about two years ago,” which indicates the year 1822, or possibly the year 1810 (for part of the _Memoirs_ were apparently written _circ._ 1812) as the date of his death. He was certainly alive, however, during part of the year 1810. [312] Lambeth Wells are marked in the map of 1755 in Stow’s _Survey_. [313] They were of smaller extent than the Cumberland Gardens, their river-side neighbour situated a little further south. [314] One account calls him Nathan Hart. [315] “Riley’s Gardens, Vauxhall,” mentioned in Trusler’s _London Adviser_, 1786, are doubtless identical with Reilly’s Cumberland Gardens. [316] In the _Picture of London_ for 1829 the Cumberland Gardens are named in the list of places of London amusement, but it is probable that this entry has been inadvertently copied from a previous edition (1823) of the work. Cp. Allen, _Lambeth_ (1827), p. 379. [317] Timbs (_Curiosities of London_, 1868, p. 18) says that Price’s Candle Manufactory occupied the site, but in the Post Office Directory map of 1858 the “Phœnix Gas Works” are marked immediately south of Vauxhall Bridge and the Candle Works still further south, _i.e._, beyond the Vauxhall Creek which formed the southern boundary of the gardens. [318] In the advertisements the name Vauxhall Gardens first appears in 1786, but many years before that date the place was often popularly known as Vauxhall Gardens. [319] The place was at first generally called The New Spring Garden. Cunningham (_Handbook of London_, s.v. “Vauxhall Gardens”) and other modern writers suppose that it was called _New_ to distinguish it from the old Spring Garden at Charing Cross, and this view seems to receive some countenance from a passage in Evelyn’s _Fumifugium_, 1661, quoted by Cunningham. It must be borne in mind, however, that there existed at Vauxhall shortly after the Restoration, _two_ Spring Gardens which seem to have been distinguished as the Old and New. This appears very distinctly from the following passage in Pepys, under date 29 May, 1662:--“Thence home and with my wife and the two maids and the boy took the boat, and to Foxhall, where I had not been a great while. To the Old Spring Garden, and there walked long, and the wenches gathered pinks. Here we staid, and seeing that we could not have anything to eate but very dear, and with long stay, we went forth again without any notice taken of us, and so we might have done if we had had anything. Thence to the new one, where I never was before, which much exceeds the other; and here we also walked, and the boy crept through the hedge and gathered abundance of roses, and after a long walk, passed out of doors as we did in the other place.”
