The Farthing Pie House, London
The Farthing Pie House or Pye House in what is now the Euston Road was so called because mutton pies could be bought there for a farthing. Established in the 18th century, the area was rural and so the surroundings were farm fields and pleasure gardens. The place was then frequented by notable artists and writers including William Blake and Richard Wilson
