Holly Bush, Little Park Street

Little Park St watercolour by H. Masters In 1756 four soldiers were billeted here.


This evergreen shrub with its bright red berries, is now associated with Christmas decoration. Previously it was used by the Romans during the Saturnalia, the period of riotous celebrations extending over seven days, often ending in drunken debauchery. The Saturnalia was also celebrated in December.
