    Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese: London’s Historic Fleet Street Pub

    Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street is one of London’s most famous historic pubs. It was rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of London in 1666, and its warren of dark, wood-panelled rooms and cellars has changed little since.

    Over the centuries it has been linked with literary names including Samuel Johnson and Charles Dickens. The photos show the pub’s sign, the narrow alley entrance off Fleet Street and the atmospheric interior.

    It’s an easy stop if you’re walking between St Paul’s Cathedral and the Strand, and well worth a pint just for the setting.

    The White House at night during a February 2024 visit to Washington, DC.

    The White House has been the official residence of every US president since John Adams in 1800. The photo shows the building lit up after dark.

    It’s an easy walk from the National Mall, the Washington Monument and many of the Smithsonian museums.

  • Eliot Ness

    Eliot Ness

    Eliot Ness, famous as the leader of “The Untouchables” who took on Al Capone in Chicago, later served as Cleveland’s Director of Public Safety from 1935 to 1942.

    Cleveland still remembers that connection, and the photo shows a framed picture of Ness spotted during a May 2018 visit to the city.

  • Rock ‘n’ Roll

    Rock ‘n’ Roll

    An Ohio historical marker in Cleveland commemorating the city’s claim as the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll.

    The marker remembers the Moondog Coronation Ball, organised by Cleveland DJ Alan Freed in March 1952 and often called the first rock ‘n’ roll concert. Freed is also credited with popularising the term “rock and roll” on the radio.

    Cleveland’s role in the music’s history is why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is located there, on the shore of Lake Erie.
