Hog Lane (East Smithfield)
Hog Lane ran east-west into the north-east corner
of Little Tower Hill. It should not be confused
with the Hog Lane north of Houndsditch. Hog
Lane, also called Hog Street in Stow’s Survey of
London, was renamed Rosemary
Lane in the seventeenth century and was known by this name until
1850 when it was renamed Royal Mint Street after the Royal Mint located on the street’s south
side (Stow; Harben). A small section of Hog Lane is labelled
Hogge la.on the east edge of the Agas map.
