Holborn, London. Most days when I set off on my pub crawl I have done some research ahead of time and have chosen a handful of pubs to check out. But it often happens that during my walk I pass interesting looking pubs that draw me in. The Dolphin Tavern is one of those pubs. I love to see a triangular shaped corner pub, and this one with its red and brick exterior is a beauty. A pub has existed on this site since Victorian times. Inside I was greeted by lots of dark wood and a small center bar. On September 8, 1915, the German Army Airship L13, a Zeppelin commanded by Kptlt Heinrich Mathy, drifted across the night sky 8500 feet above London. At 10:40 pm it dropped a High Explosive that hit the pub, killing three people and all but razing it to the ground. While combing the rubble the pub's clock was discovered, the hands frozen at 10:40. The clock now hangs on the wall of the reconstructed pub. I grabbed a Ghost Ship Pale Ale from Adnams Brewery and imagined the terror of that evening long ago.
