Friday is the 251st anniversary of the "Stroud Green Jewel", made for the Stapleton Tavern and awarded to the 'Mayor' on 26th July, 1773. I will be there at 7pm with a small group of history and beer lovers to toast Mayor Thomas Legg (dec'd) on his anniversary, I invite all Stroud Greeners to join us. As last year, tricorn hat and candles perhaps, but no stand up this time (unless someone else is up for it). But maybe a chorus of The Song? Do come along! Videos of previous events are online on Facebook and YouTube. JUSTICE, TRUTH AND FRIENDSHIP - that's the historic toast, long may they live here in Stroud Green.
