Sir Watkin Lewes, staunch supporter of Wilkes, was elected in 1780 as the first Welsh Lord Mayor of London since 1613.
He was often depicted with a leek.
His end was rather sad - arrested on the hustings in 1802, he died in the Fleet Debtors' Prison.

I think Gin Lane doesn’t look as jolly as Beer Street (misogynistic?), off to fight them rebellious Scots (the popular song o the time became the National Anthen) and, of course, the hustings - I think participation would increase if this style was brought back🤣
