London's Elizabethan and Jacobean Playhouses and Bear Baiting Areans: a research report
K Stabler
Historic England has sponsored a thematic research project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element concerns Payne's Standings/Bear Gardens 3/3A, c. 1540 - 1613, which was the site of one of London's first well documented bear-baiting arenas. The remains are situated under Benbow House, at 24 New Globe Walk, SE1 and in Bear Gardens. The Bear Gardens was later demolished to make way for the Hope Theatre. The arena is well documented, and archaeological remains have been identified that relate to the structure itself as well as ancillary buildings including ale-houses, kennels and yard surfaces.

London's Elizabethan and Jacobean Playhouses and Bear Baiting Arenas: a research report
K Stabler
Historic England is sponsoring a thematic research project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element consists of the Hope Theatre, c. 1613 - 1656. The Hope was unique in being intentionally constructed as both a bear baiting arena and a theatrical playhouse. It was built partly on top of, or immediately adjacent, to Payne's Standings/Bear Gardens 3/3A, as part of the continuation of such entertainments on London's Bankside. There are surviving accounts of its construction in the diaries of Philip Henslowe, and The Hope also saw the first staging of Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, in 1614.

London's Elizabethan and Jacobean Playhouses and Bear Baiting Arenas: a research report
K Stabler
Historic England has sponsored a thematic project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element concerns The Curtain, Shoreditch, which was in use from 1577 - c. 1625. Recent archaeological investigations suggest that the playhouse was rectangular in form, rather than the polygonal shape associated with other contemporary venues such as the Theatre, the Rose and the Globe. Many acting companies played at the Curtain, including the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which Shakespeare was a member. It is thought that Romeo and Juliet and Henry V were first staged here.

London's Elizabethan and Jacobean Playhouses and Bear Baiting Arenas: a research report
K Stabler
Historic England has sponsored a thematic research project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element concerns The Theatre, Shoreditch, in use from 1576 - 1599. The Theatre was the proto-type of the polygonal amphitheatre that became iconic as the houses for Elizabethan and Jacobean public performance. It is the first of the playhouses to have been built in a form that would be immediate recognisable today, and hosted leading players of the time and plays written by Shakespeare and others in their home venue. The Theatre had a great influence on the structure and design of the later playhouses, and marks the beginning of a standardised design of buildings of this type. The superstructure of the Theatre was dismantled in 1599 and moved south of the Thames to be used in the construction of the Globe Theatre.

London's Elizabethan and Jacobean Playhouses and Bear Baiting Arenas: a research report - Davies' Bear Pit
K Stabler
Historic England has sponsored a thematic research project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element consists of Davies' Bear Pit, the last of the London bear baiting arenas to be built, c. 1660 - 1682. The remains are situated under present buildings at 58 and 60 Park Street and in Bear Gardens. It is also the last of the major polygonal amphitheatres to be built, and shows a clear development in form from earlier examples. There are associated deposits of animal bones related to the activities, as well as an ale-house mentioned in Pepys' diaries.
