Mermaid Tavern

MERMAID TAVERN: Balloon launching site (Temporary?)

A contemporary illustration

Location: Mare Street, Hackney

Period of operation: 1832 only?

NOTES: On May 14th 1832 Charles Green safely completed his 100th balloon flight here. Was he the first British aeronaut to achieve this aviation milestone? Does anybody know how often he used the MERMAID TAVERN and over what period of time?
