The Five Year Old Club in Albemarle Street
An 19th century tale traces the Five Year Old Club founded by Capt Peter Heaton in Albemarle Street. A circle of creditors and gamblers, led by Harry Wynne and others, succumbs to debt amid dinners, shows of wealth, and a looming collapse as Whale and Butterfield step in to finance. The chapter follows the club’s exploits, a marriage intrigue, and social maneuvering among Etonians, titled gentlemen, and patrons.
