noortdam, de groote (inn near amstelveen)
the inn of the groote noordam. 1726
the groote noordam is located about half an hour from buyten amstelveen, at the edge of leyden: and is a fishermen's inn: at the side there is a drawbridge that is opened every year by the amstelveen court: this synonymous with the passage after the veenen: and to the uythoorn (uithoorn), between saturday and sunday in the summer, it is teeming with amsterdammers who then from there, using the fishing rod, go around the zoo in the peat fields surrounding it: and having caught it half cooked through the air and sun, walk with it to amsteldam. I have had my fair share of this entertainment, and have also spent the night in various houses. Object Type: atlas. Date: between 1710 and 1735. Collection: Royal Dutch Antiquarian Society. Atlas Schoemaker-WESTFRIESLAND-DEEL3-819-Noord-Holland, De Groote Noordam ( herberg buiten Amsterdam)
