Coal Hole Tavern

Place

The meeting place of the Wolf Club of which in about 1826 Edmund Kean was a leading member. Lawrence Silverman tells us that, later, this was the tavern where Renton Nicholson staged his very rude Judge and Jury shows and ‘poses plastiques’ featuring apparently naked girls (though actually wearing fleshings).
