Such as this. Calvert's Buildings. In Fletcher's day, "a picturesque remnant of ancient Southwark - the medieval cottage enclosed by eighteenth-century houses in Calvert's Buildings. It reminds me always of a remark Dickens makes of an old house that seemed to have got itself in a corner, and got lost, when it was a young house and couldn't find its way out again.". A remnant of a remnant today, and a bit of a wound. The courtyard - now exposed to the West - is at the foot of Guy's tower in this picture.
