Change of place and tradesmen.
Men of trades and sellers of wares in
this City have oftentimes since chan
ged their places, as they have found
their best advantage. For whereas Mer
cers, and Haberdashers used wholly
then to keepe their shops in west Cheap;
of later time, they held them on Lon
don bridge, where some of them doe as
yet remaine. The Goldsmiths of Gu
therons lane, and the Old Exchange, are
now (for the most part) removed into
the South side of West Cheape. The
Pepperers & Grocers of Sopers lane, are
now in Bucklesbury, and other places
disperced. The Drapers of Lombard-street,
and of Cornehill, are seated in

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
