Once the Tatton Arms, by James Redford, 1874. A fine building, too good to be left to rot for fifteen years. In poignant contrast to this scene, according to an account from 1920, "the banks of the river became a busy bustling Bacchanalium, where boating men and beanfesters made boisterous revels."
