What reading level is London Souvenirs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We next come to Chick Lane, afterwards known as West Street. Stow, writing in 1603, refers to Chicken Lane, ' toward Turnmill Brook, and over that brook by a timber bridge into the field. '' This must have been THE LOST RIVERS OF LONDON 233 Chick Lane, which was really a bridge of houses, the most noticeable of which was one which once had been known as the Red Lion Inn, and which at its demo- lition is supposed to have been three hundred years old. For the last hundred years of its existence i...t was used as a lodging-house, and was the resort of thieves, coiners, and other criminals. Its dark closets, trap- doors, sliding panels, and secret recesses rendered it one of the most secure places for robbery and murder ; openings in the walls and floors afforded easy means of getting rid of the bodies by dropping them into the Fleet, which for many years before its final abolition was only known as the Fleet Ditch. The history and description of the houses in West Street were rendered so well known at the time of their demolition that we need not enter into them here ; besides, they are beyond the scope of our inquiries.
