Apple Stall Superseded by Wellington Home Legend
An 18th century tale recalls how Apsley House near Hyde Park and Piccadilly grew from royal mercy. A poor veteran in ragged uniform had run an apple stall near the park gates and sought a grant to secure its ground. The king arranged a settlement allowing two thousand two hundred and fifty dollars annually to the stall keeper, later tied to the lands and mansion of Lord Apsley.
