FOOTNOTES:
[1] It has been suggested that the name may have had its origin in the
famous “Pickadilla” cakes first made in old Pickadilla Hall, and made
and sold at “Stewart’s” to the present day. [Publisher’s Note.]
[2] The great authority for it is Mr. Arthur Dasent’s book, while I
have a chapter on it in my “History of the Squares of London.”--E. B. C.
[3] As an example of the rebuilding of Piccadilly, so rapidly going
on during the last few years, a drawing of one of its handsomest
structures, Denman House, at the corner of Air Street, is given. Built
in 1903, it replaces the old building, where the late Mr. James L.
Denman had been established for over half a century. Messrs. Denman &
Co., having acquired the freeholds of the vineyards of the celebrated
“J. Lemoine,” Champagne, and also the “Chateau Livran” estate with its
350 acres of vines in the Medoc, required larger premises. Denman House
was therefore built, from the designs of Mr. Harold A. Woodington,
A.R.I.B.A. The upper part of the old building, which appears in the
vignette, was leased in the early fifties to the Marquis Townshend for
the Pall Mall Club.--(Publishers’ Note).
