1. History of Mabel’s Tavern Marker
Mabel's Tavern apparently takes its name from a local woman, Mabel Macinelly who was born in Dublin, Ireland. She married into the family who owned Hamilton House in Mabledon Place and became Mabel Hamilton. Not much information is known about Mabel, except that she owned a cat called Felix and she died in the 1870's. Since her death, she has been known to revisit the pub and on one occasion she called the landlady's name repeatedly in the early hours of the morning. She has also been heard operating the pub's dumb waiter, which is especially eerie, as the dumb waiter was ripped out of the pub several years ago. The occupants have heard it in operation in the early hours of the morning, but when they investigated, there was nothing to be seen.
