![]() ![]() William Bowery is a co-writer for folklore. 'Paul Talling drills deep beneath the modern city to show how the lost rivers of the capital have left their mark, even telling how certain areas take their names from the rivers that once flowed nearby. That was particularly annoying coming through into my room while I was trying to listen to Joni Mitchell. 93 Posted by ME apologist 2 years ago Theory - William Bowery is possibly Kim Wilde or Joni Mitchell Discussion So a few minutes ago, I posted on the folklore mega thread - someone else caught it before me - that William Bowery does not exist. For years, pieces of this rich trove of unreleased material have circulated in sketchy bootleg. You can get home from Vauxhall or Pimlico stations which are a 10-minute walk or stay for a drink with Paul and other walkers in The Grosvenor pub which is a cosy down to earth pub. Mitchell’s fans have long taken a different position. We finish around 5pm (give or take a bit, as there is no rush). You are welcome to bring refreshments to eat along the way. There will be a pub stop plus there will be plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks in Regents Park, Paddington Street Gardens and Green Park. Many more musical references en route including Marie Lloyd, Handel, Elgar, Hendrix, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Queen, Kim Wilde, Sex Pistols and Dolores from The Cranberries. There will be plenty of tangents along the way such as the Baker Street bank robbery of 1971, Danger Mouse, the Mayfair birthplace of Queen Elizabeth II, Twiggy, Radio Luxembourg, Banksy, Wendy Richard, Phileas Fogg, locations from Denis Waterman era Minder, an abandoned tube station, Harry Nilsson's flat where both (Mama) Cass Elliott and Keith Moon died. It is said that here ducks once wandered about among the long grass and puddles, women did their washing at the water's edge and a hospital for plague victims was erected here near the open fields. Just off Bond Street, Lancashire Court was developed on what used to be the east bank of the Tyburn. From the place where the Tyburn crossed Oxford Street, the Great Conduit was built in 1236, to supply water through conduits from the Tyburn to Cheapside in the City. It also gave its name to the predecessors of Oxford Street and Park Lane, which were formerly called Tyburn Road and Tyburn Lane respectively. The Tyburn gave its name to the village of Tyburn, originally a manor of Marylebone, which was recorded in the Domesday Book and which stood approximately at the west end of what is now Oxford Street. This will be a relaxing all-day event walking roughly 7 miles covering so many clues of this now subterranean river and how it defined the area as we head through St Johns Wood, Marylebone, Mayfair and Pimlico with Paul reading from his London's Lost Rivers book and various Victorian publications and referring to archive material, ancient maps and a modern-day one showing the river now used as the King's Scholar Pond sewer which runs partly underneath Buckingham Palace.
