Organised by the City Consorts, the Mistress joined a group
of approximately twenty outside Cannon Street Station for a walk around some of
the adjoining streets to learn about the history of various Livery Halls (and
other places) in the area.
Led by the Past Master Tax Advisors Consort, Andrew Loader
the group embarked on a fascinating and insightful journey. Andrew is a
Cambridge History Scholar and so had a deep knowledge and respect for the
stories that surround the various buildings. Working their way up from Cannon
Street the group went into Old Jewry and thence to St Olaves Court soaking up
all that history as they passed along. The Mistress wasn’t taking notes so some
of the detail went unrecorded! But it was all very interesting.
Heading over to Moorgate the party finally reached the Chartered
Accountants Hall (see picture) where a buffet supper awaited them. And a
reviving drink!
It was a marvellous evening and to be once again in the
company of other Consorts is a great privilege. So too is to hear about the
wonderful City of London and in such detail.
Thank you to Andrew for his tour, to the City Consorts
Organising Committee for putting it all together and to the Worshipful Company
of Chartered Accountants for their hospitality.
