Hand and Shears
Pub in Farringdon, London
The Hand and Shears is a Grade I listed public house at 1 Middle Street, Smithfield, London.[1]
It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[2]
It was built in the early-mid 19th century.[1]
The Hand and Shears was named after the former Bartholomew Fair, held at Smithfield for centuries, at which the Lord Mayor of London would come and cut a piece of cloth with a pair of shears to announce that the fair had begun.[3]
