Quays on the Thames

The quays or keys along the Thames changed names according to their owners.1 As Stow comments, These wharffes and keyes commonly beare the names of their owners, and are therefore changeable (Stow 1598, sig. H2r). The names for the quays on the Agas map are not entirely consistent with the names given in Stow’s description of Tower Street Ward. MoEML will conduct more research before assigning coordinates and names to the quays in this map section.
See the following articles in the English Heritage Survey of London (Gater and Godfrey), available at British History Online:
