More about this scene
Although immortalised by Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland, the origins of the cat are said to go way back in time, and no-one knows where the story of the grinning cat, now always associated with Cheshire, originally came from. This building was built as three cottages in 1637; it was converted into almshouses before becoming a pub in 1945. It is no longer called The Cheshire Cat, which is sad.
