To Cassandra, from Rowling,

"If anybody wants anything in Town, they must send their Commissions to Frank, as I shall merely pass thro' it.-
"The Tallow Chandler is Penlington, at the Crown and Beehive Charles Street, Covent Garden." - Jane Austen, Thursday 15-Friday 16 September 1796
There is not too much information about the Tallow Chandler except that the address was 6 Charles Street. Charles street was changed to Wellington at some point.
I know this is a Christmas video, but it was the best one I could find to show the inside of Covent Gardens. It is really pretty.
I hope you had a good day!

"Life is Short... Break the Rules, Forgive Quickly, Kiss Slowly, Love Truly, Laugh Uncontrollably, And Never Regret Anything that Made You Smile! Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
