Viewing Event Record: The privy council bans coaches from parking near the playhouse

Abstract

On 20 December, the privy council again deliberates on the Blackfriars parking problem, and on the possibility of moving the playhouse. The council notes that the players have demanded £21 000, that the committee has assessed the property at £3 000, and that the parishioners are willing to contribute £100 to the relocation. They abandon the idea and suggest a cheaper alternative. Coaches will no longer be able to park in the vicinity of the playhouse during times of performance, but will be allowed there only to drop off and pick up their passengers.
