A Basso Relievo of a Gardiner (1791)

Against Mr Holylands stables
Gardiners Lane,
the corner of High Timber Street, is this Sculpture:
but why put up, cannot learn.
Tradition says the site was once Gardens.

High Timber Street, Broken Wharf, Thames Street,
lay a short distance southwest of St Paul’s
Church Yard in the City of London.
