St Bartholomew the Great Church, Smithfields, London. Perhaps its location beyond the city walls saved it from fashionable renovation down the centuries, leaving the Romanesque beauty intact.

#OtD 23 Jun 1950 delivery drivers for Smithfields meat market in London went on wildcat strike. Lasting until July, the strike was condemned by the Labour government who brought in troops as scabs to break the strike stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9579...

Using food to show where I grew up

Don't regret going vegan at all, but damn do I miss Bojangles, Cookout, and Smithfields at times

Fun day of research at Postman’s Park, Smithfields, and the Mail Rail. Also: good food and good company

I've always had a fascination with St Bartholomews Fair, from which I suspect Vaudeville sprung. This Cruikshank image shows the melee, a bull escaped from nearby Smithfields, a family of acrobats, a full-size Punch in a saucy revue, the world's tallest man...

Arkansas Cafe, Smithfields London. London's first real BBQ place, fantastic brisket and Dixie (later Faubourg, now dead) beer. Fantastic place, and some memorable lunches had there.

RIP
I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

How long until we see posts from Tw*tter that the planned closures of Smithfields and Billingsgate markets are part of some “woke” agenda?

I see Danny Robins is doing an episode about the Cock Lane ghost, which remains one of my favorite stories.

It's a story of mass drunkeness, class warfare and the machinations of the new gutter press.

It was the first chapter I wrote for A Natural History of Ghosts, and got the book commissioned.

I worked there for 3 happy years. We would drink wine at our desks and go to that pub in Smithfields before work whenever it was anyone's birthday for a pint and a full English at 9am

Big news for bacon lovers! lol. Hot honey really is the food of the moment, and Smithfield's caught onto that at just the right time.

Buuuuut if you'd rather make your own hot honey bacon...
