Orphan date February 2009 File The Boot Cromer Street WC1.jpg thumb The Boot The Boot on Cromer Street is a public house pub in King s Cross, London King s Cross , London . History The name is either derived from the wares of the leatherworkers who once worked in the area and would have frequented this pub or it may be a corruption of The Boat as a tributary of the River Fleet which once flowed nearby. Literary associations Charles Dickens was known to have drunk at The Boot, and the Pub is also featured in Dickens story Barnaby Rudge . In Barnaby Rudge, Dickens describes The Boot as This Boot was a lone house of public entertainment, situated in the fields at the back of the Foundling Hospital a very solitary spot at that period, and quite deserted after dark. The tavern stood at some distance from any high road, and was approachable only by a dark and narrow lane so that Hugh was much surprised to find several people drinking there, and great merriment going on . The landlord, Packie, is an interesting person, he has artefacts from Wembley, Lords and Croke Park in Dublin on the walls. You could sit there nursing your drink and next moment he plonks a plate of sandwiches in front of you. He has a detailed knowledge of Dickens. Kenneth Williams and his parents family lived in nearby Marchmont Street and he once mentioned The Boot and the characters that frequented in a TV chat show. References Richard Tames.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Image HooksAndBootjack.jpg thumb 200px Boot hooks and a boot jack right File Stiefelknecht use.jpg thumb A boot jack in use A boot jack , sometimes known as a boot pull , is a small tool which aids in the removal of boot s. It consists of a U shaped mouth which grips the heel of the boot, and a flat area to which weight can be applied. To operate it, the user places the heel of the boot in the mouth of the jack, stands on the back of the device with the other foot, and pulls his foot free of the front boot. The process is then repeated to remove the other boot. The boot jack has several advantages over the removal of boots by hand. By allowing the wearer to pull his foot straight up and out of the boot, and by using his full body weight to hold the boot in place, far greater lever age and a much more secure grip are possible than can be achieved with the hands. In addition, the wearer is spared the inconvenience of having to bend over or sit down to remove the boots, or directly handle them if they are dirty. The function of the boot jack can be approximated with a variety of other objects that may be on hand, ranging from a convenient piece of furniture to a rifle butt, but these generally cannot remove the boot as easily as a proper boot jack. An adequate naturally occurring bootjack is formed by the base of Sabal palmetto cabbage palm Sabal palmetto leaf and these leaf bases are consequently called bootjacks. Additionally, the Sole shoe sole of a boot still being worn can also function as an improvised jack, but the wearer using one foot to remove the opposite boot often lacks proper leverage to successfully remove a snug fitting boot, particularly a tall boot.
