Lost London: Walking the Covent Garden Drainage Ditches

Part 3: The St Martin’s Parish Sewer

The last section of the walk along the drainage ditches of Covent Garden can begin with completing the fourth side of the Cock and Pye Ditch, by walking along the western end Shelton Street until the junction with Neal Street, then doubling back to Upper St Martin’s Lane. With this done, the walk then continues along St Martin’s Lane, following a noticeable downhill gradient as the route starts back towards the Thames.

With the sewer buried beneath the roads and buildings, and its course not well recorded, other sights make for more interest along this section. Off to the west of St Martins Lane is Cecil Court, a street of booksellers, many offering rare or unusual books; the oldest amongst these shops is Watkins Books, specialising in occult texts.

Further along St Martins Lane, this time to the east, is Brydges Place, possible the narrowest alley in London – it would definitely be difficult for two people to pass at its tightest point.

The route then turns down William IV Street, then Adelaide Street, passing the sculpture A Conversation With Oscar Wilde (checking to see if his cigarette has been stolen again), before arriving at the Strand. It is reckoned that the sewer (or ditch as it may have been then) crossed the Strand somewhere near where Charing Cross station stands today, though no records survive saying exactly where.

The walk continues downhill, quickly taking in the top end of Villiers Street, then York Place (formerly Of Alley, a story featured in a past post), then Buckingham Street. This terminates at York Watergate, marking where the banks of the Thames used to be, and where the St Martin’s parish sewer would have emptied into the river. With the construction of the Victoria Embankment, the parish sewer was joined to the interceptor sewer, so much like the Bloomsbury Ditch, there is no visible outfall.

My guidebook suggested ending the walk at the nearby Cleopatra’s Needle – the ancient Egyptian obelisk that actually bears the cartouches of Thutmose III and Ramses II. Some say that the exact geographical centre of London is a bench just besides the obelisk – certainly a quieter (and perhaps more atmospheric) location than the main rival for the title just beside Trafalgar Square…

Garrison Church of St. Martin, Catholic church, Dresden, Germany: The Garrison Church of St. Martin (actually Simultankirche St. Martin) in Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which was laid out as a military town for large parts of the Saxon army. The double church was built in the second phase of construction between 1893 and 1900 in a central location of the barracks complex. The church is located on Stauffenbergallee (formerly Heeresstraße or Carolaallee) in the immediate vicinity of the central arsenal building, today's Military History Museum of the German Armed Forces.

more thoughts regarding Henry Creel’s time at Hawkins Lab because I’m so (not) normal about that guy.

okay, so do you guys remember when Doctor Brenner rewarded Two with a candy when he did good during the lesson?

now don’t mind me imagining him giving young Henry a candy, when Henry was the only kid there, as a reward to try to urge him into complying / into trying to do good. I’m not saying candy absolutely worked for Henry, but after all he was still a kid. and I don’t think Virginia was the kind of parents who allowed her kids to have candy. so idk dude, imagine young Henry not wanting to give in and accept Brenner’s so called gift before he gave in and did what Brenner wanted in the end, because I bet, at the beginning, Brenner gave or tried to give Henry candy without Henry having to do anything for it, and once Henry — a kid, mind you — got a taste of candy and asked for more, Brenner said he had to do something to earn it first.

just imagine Henry wanting candy. imagine Henry agreeing to be good for Brenner because he just wanted the candy. imagine candy being the only “normal” thing Henry had during his childhood. imagine Henry, now as an adult, still having a secret longing / nostalgia for something as simple, as childlike as candy.

@twihs-blog I think I made myself cry…
