More on the Mayflower Barn

The back of William Penn’s grave and the holly were taken in Old Jordans. The images of Dr. Irving and myself were taken on the campus of the University of London in the same week in March 2001.
Thanks Dr. Andrew Irving!
For sale: Old Jordans and the Mayflower barn – preview
After nearly 100 years of Quaker ownership, the Old Jordans hotel and conference centre has been put on the market.
The sale package also includes the stable block, which was recently converted into a modern refectory, and the beautiful and historic Mayflower barn, reputedly built from the timbers of the ship that took the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World. The whole complex is expected to sell for around £2.5 million.
The property has been a part of Quaker life since as early as 1659 when William Russell, the owner of the land and a local farmer, held the first Quaker Meetings in the area. Also present at many of these early Meetings were George Fox, James Nayler and William Penn. The buildings passed out of Quaker ownership in 1738 but were reacquired in 1910 in a derelict state and converted into the guest house as we know it today.

Felt & Tarrant formerly produced the Comptometer, a primitive early computing device. Like many of the great surviving factories of the North Side, this building has been converted to loft space, this one notably being an artists’ center. – Pete Anderson

“I find these old ads painted on the sides of buildings interesting. I’m trying to capture as many as possible while they still exist. This one is located in the upper 140s off of 8th Avenue behind a police precinct.” Uptown Flavor
