The Tenters pub stands on a corner of this empty site – the area is called the Tenters, referring to textile manufacture in the past. Interesting article on the subject here.

Thanks for the fascinating bit of history (and etymology)! And, of course, always, the flowers and photos.
Such stunning peonies. Great photos.
Gorgeous! I wonder if they would grow in San Diego? And the photos are amazing.
Peonies seem to be happy everywhere – except waterlogged ground.
Gorgeous photos, as always. But where’s Mini? Fascinating history, too. Thanks for this!
Thanks so much for the link! Lovely photos.
What beautiful photos: the pub and the flowers. Love the two-toned painting on the pub. Could be a building in Boston. And the flowers! Maybe inspiration for a circular shawl – especially the third starburst. Of course these are some of my fav colors.
Thank you for the textile history link!
