Leaflet for an evening's entertainment at the Hare and Hounds (date 1825 - 1850?) 

The Hare & Hounds was first leased by Young and Bainbridge in 1831 together with the extensive grounds with lawns and kitchen gardens on the other side of Church Walk.  Young's got the freehold in 1897. Two years later the kitchen gardens were exchanged for land from the Hollies, a grand residence next door to the pub (shown on the 1875 OS map). This was demolished in 1902 so that the frontage of the pub could be extended on the Upper Richmond Road.

Extract from Dickens by Peter Ackroyd 

‘The days passed by.  The last days.  He gave his final reading from David Copperfield on the last evening of March.  Two days later he attended, with Wills, a birthday party for Ellen Ternan at Blanchard’s in Regent Street.  On the 8th of the month he gave his last performance of “Sikes and Nancy”, The reading which more than all others had weakened him.’
