THE splendour of a medieval banquet hall has been brought to life thanks to painstaking research and restoration carried out by a Newcastle restaurant.
When an economic slump hits and orders fall off for George Pullman's luxurious train cars (many outfitted with Oriental carpets and chandeliers), his "philanthropy" in setting up an impressive company town for his workers is put to the test -- one he resoundingly fails. His workers are virtually required to live in Pullman (just south of Chicago) and rent their houses from him, but when their wages plummet and their rents are unwavering, his tenants and their families are propelled into insurmountable debt and near starvation.To view the photos associated with this press release, please visit the following link: http://www.marketwire.com/library/20110315-OutdoorRoom800.jpg .A bar and kitchen are hidden behind reclaimed wooden screens, and furnishings include large oak communal dining tables and matching chairs, which all add to the candlelit atmosphere.Cabot, who normally makes her home at Hull House (the site of an earlier mystery by McNamara), is called to gather and distribute food to the needy in Pullman. When she comes upon a hanged man and helps to lower his body to the ground, she becomes personally invested in the plight of those around her, desperately seeking some sort of resolution to the strike and an explanation for the gruesome murder.--- Creating a children's play area by adding a multi-sport surface.

Andy Hook, owner of Blackfriars, said: "We have been passionately promoting the rich tapestry of Blackfriars' heritage for almost a decade now and are incredibly excited to reopen this stunningly beautiful medieval banquet hall for the local community, schoolchildren and tourists to enjoy. "We are continuing to serve gutsy, traditional and medieval food using seasonal produce from the local farms and markets to recreate gastronomic medieval extravagances, providing something unusual and unique for the city." The hall, which has its own kitchens, bar and toilet, accommodates 50 guests on large communal tables.
