At the end of Little Chester Street stands “The Talbot". No electric lights and flaunting plate-glass windows showing a brilliant interior here, but mostly a smoke-begrimed, time-stained building, which might be an inn in some old-world country town. Passing up a flight of steps outside —-steps worn hollow by the tread of innumerable feet—- you enter and find yourself in a low-ceiling bar, which has an atmosphere of discrete gloom.
