He seems to have arrived late quite a bit when trade was slack. Tyler was supposed to have started at 6am but on this particular day he didn't arrive until 8am.

Mmm...
Hi Gut,
Definitely stout porter originally, you must be too young to remember..
The name was changed to just 'stout' in the 1860's.
When I took my licensee's exam, there was a section about children drinking in restaurants & it actually refers to 'porter' being one of the acceptable drinks for children to have if they're eating in a pub's restaurant area.

Originally posted by GUT View PostInteresting you say that, and I admit my memory is perhaps wrong, but here is an interesting article on the difference between stout and porter.

Now there's a difference, but I'm talking about originally and the conventions are different these days . Orginally it was all porter. I home-brewed for a long time, so I studied the history at some point though it may be hazy.

GUT,
It's Stout porter. It's porter and actually stout is a shortened name of stout porter. In reality, there is no 'stout' but only 'porter' with 'stout' being the adjective.

The cellar was john richardsons workshop alrhought I'm not sure what he worked on down there? It seems like richardson would be able to kill out there in the backyard safely knowing the activity of the tenants very well and having reason to be there

In fact, the drink 'stout' used to be called 'stout porter' due to it's popularity as a breakfast tipple for street and river porters.

Exactly..
Originally posted by Rosella View PostI thought that certain pubs near to large markets were and are given certain concessions so market traders and porters up very early in the morning could get a drink. I'm almost certain this still happens today. The Ten Bells was/is opposite Spitalfields market.
