Saracen's Head, Snow Hill, City of London

The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill, City of London, from a sketch taken during its demolition in 1863. It was a celebrated tavern and coaching establishment, which stood on the north side of Snow Hill, without Newgate. It was removed in constructing the Holborn Viaduct in 1863. On the new Snow Hill, but some distance from the old inn, another Saracen's Head Hotel has been erected, but it is quite unlike its predecessor in appearance and character
