Goodell Part* of Old Londitih Thai Have Been Moved It Is frequently pointed out that Temple bar is at Theobald's park, and that the front of old Mercer's hall, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, Is now the front of Swanage town hall, bat there are bits of London which have gone much farther afield and are not so wall known. In the cathedral of Ghent, in Belgium, are elaborate copper candle- Sticks that once belonged to Old St. Paul's. It may be asked how they escaped the great fire. The fact Is they had been sold by Cromwell about sixteen years earlier. StIH farther afield has gone the old rose window of the south transept of Westminster abbey, also the work of Wren. It was removed about twentyfive years ago to make room for a new window in memory of the late duke of Westminster, and was given to the. cathedral In Cape Town. In the garden of the White Bear Inn near Addlscombe, Croydon, stands the "figure of a real-looking white bear made of wood. This used to be a prominent object where the electric signs now blaze at Piccadilly circus.
