1 ‘ In the winter of 1715-16 the frost was again so intensely severe that the
river Thames was frozen over during almost the space of three months. Booths
were erected on the congealed river for the sale of all kinds of commodities and
all the fun of the fair of 1684 was revived. On 19 January 1716 two large oxen
were roasted whole on the ice.’—Old and New London, by Edward Walford.
