Gutter Lane
Gutter Lane ran north-south from Cheapside to Maiden Lane. It was to the west of Wood Street and to the east of Foster Lane, lying within the north-eastern most area of Farringdon Ward Within and serving as a boundary to Aldersgate ward. It is labelled as
Goutter Laneon the Agas map.
As Stow remarks, it is
so called of Guthurun somtime owner thereof(Stow 253). Stow describes how
fine siluer, such as was then made into foylewas commonly known as
siluer of Guthuron’s lane(Stow 43). The
inhabitants of this lane of old time were Goldbeaters(Stow 253). Other important sites included: Embroiderers’ Hall on the west side and Wax Chandlers’ Hall at the north-east corner by Maiden Lane (Stow 260; Harben).
Gutter Lane survives in modern London, between Foster Lane and Wood Street, terminating at Gresham Street in the north and Cheapside in the south.

Cheapside Street
Cheapside, one of the most important streets in early modern London, ran east-west between the Great Conduit at the foot of Old Jewry to the Little Conduit by St. Paul’s churchyard. The terminus of all the northbound streets from the river, the broad expanse of Cheapside separated the northern wards from the southern wards. It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there. It was also the most sacred stretch of the processional route, being traced both by the linear east-west route of a royal entry and by the circular route of the annual mayoral procession.Cheapside Street is mentioned in the following documents:

Maiden Lane
There were as many as four streets in early modern London called Maiden Lane (Ekwall 122). The Maiden Lane to which this page refers was shared between Cripplegate Ward, Aldersgate Ward, and Farringdon Within. It ran west from Wood Street, andoriginated as a trackway across the Covent Garden
(Bebbington 210) to St. Martin’s Lane.Maiden Lane is mentioned in the following documents:

It crossed over Huggin Lane, Lad Lane, Maiden Lane, Love Lane, Addle Lane, and Silver Street, and ran parallel to Milk Street in the east and Gutter Lane in the west. Wood Street lay within Cripplegate Ward. It is labelled asWood Streat
