As late as the 1930's cattle and sheep regularly were driven up and down Church Street. Today it is one of the most lively thoroughfares in London with a wide mix of restaurants, music venues, pubs and bars. And right in the middle is The Auld Shillelagh run by Roscommon folk and serving the world. From the outside it looks very small, and yet as soon as you walk in you realise that it stretches a long way back. At the rear is a new beer garden, which for much of the year is a great sun-trap. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the village of Stoke Newington and the surrounding area was much visited by London's town folk who came out to the area, to visit the many inns and pubs. So nothing has changed, with people from all over London and beyond coming to take their pleasure.
