Judges Walk

Hampstead (NW) In 1665, when the Great Plague of London was raging, the Assizes are said to have been held here beneath the elms. Mrs. Siddons, the great actress, after her retirement from the stage, occupied for several years the house known as Capo di Monte, overlooking this beautiful walk (Skirts of the Great City, Mrs. A. G. Bell, p. 17)
