A Day in the Life of a Tudor Merchant |
You head up Broad Street that is lined with market stalls and starting to bustle with people. You can just see the top of the High Cross ahead of you. When you're about half way along the street you see the vintner who wants to buy the wine that your ship should have brought back from Andalucia. "Morning Madam Sandbank." "Morning Master Pryn." "My boat, the Mary James come in to dock this morning. I understand she's got some wine on board. Well I was thinking maybe we could discuss prices of wine later on." "Oh yes. Alright then. I'll be in The Angel Inn this afternoon for lunch." "How is your business at the moment?" "Not well as it happens. I'm not doing much trade these days." "Well we'll see what we can do later on. I'll see you at The Angel." You continue up Broad Street, turn right at the High Cross and make your way down Corn Street Next |
