Notes
The Elephant and Castle Inn was a public house and busy staging post, probably deriving its name from the coat of arms of the Cutler’s Guild, which feature an elephant as a nod to the use of ivory in cutlery handles. It gives its name to the present area of London. There are a variety of vehicles going past the inn, including a private coach, stage coaches going to Bognor and Brighton, and a wagon.
