message: I am unclear whther Pepys really did visit this pub. There were two pubs known as the "Devil's Tavern". This one - because it was a notorious dive and the "Devil and St. Dunstan" in Fleet Street (now reduced to a blue plaque) which became shortened to "The Devil". It is quite clear that Pepys is referring to the pub in Fleet Street.--Streona (talk) 08:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are nine separate entries in the diaries for Wapping. His viola de gamba maker was there; and it was a frequent landing when the tide had turned against him on his return from Woolwich. There are also two separate funerals at the churchyard - he attended. That particular reference supports the previous paragraph; but doesn't appear to support anything about the artists, or Pepys. Therefore, really do need a more specific reference. Kbthompson (talk) 12:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wapping, it will be remembered, was in 1688 the scene of the capture of the cruel minister of James II., Lord Chancellor Jeffreys, who, trying to make his escape in the disguise of a common seaman, was captured in a mean ale-house, called the "Red Cow," in Anchor-and-Hope Alley, near King Edward's Stairs, in Wapping. He was recognised by a poor scrivener, whom he had once terrified when in his clutches, as he was lolling out of window, confident in his security. The story of his capture is related with much vividness and unction by Macaulay ... - same ref I've been looking at. Note ToR is by Wapping Old Stairs. Does that help?

text: T0R is mentioned in John Timbs - Curiosities of London, 1867 - so established by then. Like this one, I believe the Town of Ramsgate is named for a ship that moored nearby. Kbthompson (talk) 14:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
