State that The Canterbury Tales dates to the late 14th century. State that the renaming to the Talbot happened around the 17th century. Expand the information about it being rebuilt to state that at least two rebuildings probably happened in the 17th century, including one after the 1676 Southwark fire. undo

Great Dover Street only bypasses Tabard Street, not Old Kent Road. Although https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/1867/1.1.2-BBLB-Characterisation-Study-Trinity-and-Tabard-Addendum-June-2014.pdf says Great Dover Street dates back to 1750, this is inconsistent with other sources and pre-1820 maps. undo

Additionally, Walford and Shelley both imply that its name reverted back to the Tabard at some point. Make it clear that the building that was demolished (which seems to have happened in 1874 or 1875, not 1873) was not the exact same one Chaucer wrote about. undo
