Archive trail 3 source leads 4 candidate signals

What survives in the archive

The archive reads less like a single fact and more like a room coming into focus: regulars, roles, habits and social texture are visible, but named stories stay out until a stronger source review supports them.

Archive profile

A remembered room, carefully anonymised

The Temple Bar has a multi-source archive trail where the old archive points toward social texture: regulars, habits, roles, atmosphere and remembered room feel. The public page keeps this as anonymous room memory until source review supports more specific storytelling.
