The Prince of Wales at the Meet of the Burton Hounds, Green Man, Lincoln Heath, 1870. The future King Edward VII goes foxhunting. 'The meet was at that famous old roadside tavern the Green Man...[which] was, during the last century, a notable place of assembly for the county gentry. They used to hold their monthly festive meetings in a spacious club-room, built, in 1740, by Mr. Thomas Chaplin, of Blankney, and adorned with the busts of the chief members of the club...The Prince of Wales, unfortunately, had not a very pleasant day for his excursion to this place. There was a nasty drizzling rain, which obliged him and Mr. [Henry] Chaplin, with their party, to come in closed carriages, arriving at the Green Man about noon. But these fox-hunters would not so much mind the weather when mounted on the horses there in waiting, and fairly afield with the hounds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
