"Exploring the Rich History of Long Acre: From Coachmakers to Midwives and Music Halls" Step back in time with a captivating glimpse into the fascinating world of Long Acre. An Old Coachmakers Shop in Long Acre, depicted in an intriguing 1881 artwork by an unknown creator, transports us to a bygone era. As we navigate through York YO8 8 Map, our journey takes an unexpected turn as we stumble upon Mary Aubrey's chilling tale. This French midwife infamously murdered her husband within the confines of Long Acre, forever leaving its streets shrouded in mystery. An Advertisement lithograph catches our eye, showcasing the vibrant commercial life that once thrived here. St Martins Music Hall beckons us further into its enchanting vestibule through an exquisite engraving, evoking memories of lively performances and joyous melodies. Long Acre itself comes alive on paper with a watercolor masterpiece aptly titled "Long Acre. " The delicate strokes capture the essence of this historic street, preserving its charm for generations to come. Nathan Drake's trade card reveals another facet of Long Acre's past – colormen who supplied artists with pigments and materials. Their contribution to London's artistic scene is immortalized through this finely engraved depiction. The Great Exhibition of 1851 looms large in our exploration; an engraving transports us back to this grand event where innovation and progress were celebrated under one roof. It serves as a testament to how Long Acre played a role in shaping history. St Martins Northern Schools' engraving offers insight into education during those times when knowledge was highly valued. Meanwhile, Opening of St Martins Hall showcases how gatherings brought communities together within these hallowed walls. A meeting held at St Martin s-Hall for the Repeal of Taxes on Knowledge is vividly captured through yet another striking engraving.
