Coldharbour was a mansion dating back to at least the reign of
Edward II (Harben).
It is not marked on the Agas map, but its location can be discerned from the position
of All Hallows the Less.
After 1543, the eastern portion of the house
was leased to the Watermen’s Company (Harben).
It ceased to function as a private residence in
1593 and became
a tenement house (Harben). Nevertheless, it remained a distinctive site and
is mentioned in dramatic works well into the seventeenth century
(Sugden). It was destroyed in the Fire, after which a brewery was built on the site (Harben).
Harben records the following variant toponyms for Coldharbour:
Coldherberghe, le Coldherbergh,
inn or place called Coldeherbergh, Colde Arber,
Colherberd, Colherbert, Colharbor,
Colharborowe. Sugden records that it was known as
Poultney’s Innwhile under the posession of Sir John de Pulteney, although the account of Carlin and Belcher contradicts this (Carlin and Belcher 85, see Rose Manor).
