'Chelsea at that time was a riverside village', (1907). The eight-year-old Mozart and his family lived in London in 1764: 'Chelsea at that time was a riverside village, and the lodgings of the Mozarts were in Five Fields, a name which conveys a pleasant suggestion of the country, but, alas! it has long since lost its ancient signification with its change to Lower Ebury Street, Pimlico.' An episode from the life of Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). From "Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]
