Inscription

Established 1740, Tull, 153 Fenchurch St.

{On a decorative cartouche in the pediment at the top of the building:}
1880

Site: Tull, Samuel, & Co - Fenchurch Street (1 memorial)

EC3, Fenchurch Street, 153

The building was designed by Osborn & Russel and erected in 1880.

From Public Monument and Sculpture Association we learn: Small City cartouche in first floor pediment. Ground floor has small segmental pediment with relief of rowing boat with coat and fisherman surrounded by ribbon with inscription (The Peterboat & Doublet).

Caroline's Miscellany has done some good research on Peterboats.  They apparently evolved into the Bawley.
