Extract from a report on the building works at the Arts and Treasures Exhibition.

We noticed that every accommodation appears to be provided for the comfort of those occupied in the construction of the building, notably a soup kitchen and coffee palace, and last but not least, The Arteries Tavern and it`s adjoining refreshment buffet, thus providing for such as have little time at their disposal to go further afield for creature comforts.

Extract from a report on the building works at the Arts and Treasures Exhibition.

The table d`hote at Ye Arteries Tavern for the accommodation of the staff takes place daily at one o`clock, through the kindness of Mr. Wedderburn, the proprietor of the West Cliff Hotel, where accommodation may be found for man and beast, and worthy John Stonham has charge of the hostelry.

Note: No mention of Stonham in More Bastions. Was he possibly manager?

The poor old Arteries Tavern is pulled down. Alas!, it`s spirit is fled, and the poor workmen upon the Exhibition are walking about with tears in their eyes.
