It’s 1665. You’re walking up a hill. It’s quiet, no one about. On your right is what will, in two hundred years’ time, become High Barnet tube station. You keep walking. It’s awfully quiet. Deserted. The buildings are boarded up. A crow caws in the distance. But otherwise it’s quiet, silent. 

Three stories involving pirates, prisons, and plots to kill the king.
