Battle Bridge (Tooley Street)

Battle Bridge connected St. Olave Street with the road to Bermondsey and Horsleydown (Nichols 252). John Stow states that Battle Bridge was named after the Abbots of Battle Abbey, who built and repaired the bridge (Stow 459). The Abbots of Battle Abbey owned the Abbot of Battle’s Inn, which included the land surrounding Battle Bridge (Nichols 252). The site of the Abbot of Battle’s Inn and Battle Bridge is now marked by Battle Bridge Lane and Battle Bridge Stairs (Malden). Battle Bridge appears on Hogenberg and Braun’s 1572 map (Londinum Feracissimi Angliæ Regni Metropolis).
