Handbill and receipt 190 x 115 mm. on pink paper, mounted on thin card. For porterage and cartage at 7/6. Blossom's Inn stood in Cheapside from the 14th Century until c. 1855 when it became a parcel depot for the Great Eastern Railway. It ran vans to destinations all over the country. In 1835, an aged porter at the inn, John Neat, had hanged himself for the third time. He was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital where he seemed to be quite dead. His treatment included a blister, brandy, a draught of ammonia with camphor, friction over the heart, heating of the feet, letting of four pounds of blood and a turpentine enema. After a day of this, he was said to be "much better" but "still somewhat maniacal.".
