If you Google this, you will be left wondering whether any place called Mol’s is still near there and still serving coffee, though there’s no doubt the building in this photo exists.  Located in Cathedral Close, dated 1596, the building was named after Thomas Mol, Italian, at a time when coffee had perhaps not even been introduced into England.  Sir Francis Drake is said to have used Mol’s as a meeting place and it may have been during such meetings that Drake planned how to foil the Spanish Armada.  The building may now be used as a map and stationery shop.  Inside the building, a frieze bears 46 coats of arms, and it is said to be the only building in Europe with a unique star-shaped ceiling. Not one of the 230 panes of glass is perfectly square.  Unused Overland Views real-photo card.  Grade: 1
