Trig Lane was the lane leading down from Thames Street (now called Upper Thames Street) to the river landing place called Trig Stairs on the north bank of the Thames. Trig Lane was in a fairly rowdy area full of water traffic, sailors, and porters.

Thames Street was the longest street in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the complete span of the city within the walls.

(THAM1.xml) Trig Stairs Information is not yet available. (TRIG2.xml) The Thames Information is not yet available. (THAM2.xml) Paul’s Wharf

According to Schofield, Paul’s Wharf is one of the oldest wharfs on the Thames (Schofield 181). Located in both Castle Baynard Ward and Queenhithe Ward, Paul’s Wharf was situated near St. Paul’s Cathedral and St. Benet. Since Paul’s Wharf was only blocks away from St. Paul’s Cathedral, the clergy used the wharf as a point of travel.

(PAUL2.xml) Puddle Wharf

Puddle Wharf was a water gate along the north bank of the Thames (Stow). Also known as Puddle Dock, it was located in Castle Baynard Ward, down from St. Andrew’s Hill. Puddle Wharf was built in 1294 to serve as the main quay for Blackfriars Monastery. (Weinreb and Hibbert 68, 229). In the early modern period, Puddle Wharf would have been the main landing place for playgoers on their way to the Blackfriars theatre via the river.

(PUDD2.xml) Southwark Information is not yet available. (SOUT2.xml) Bankside

Described by Weinreb as redolent of squalor and vice (Weinreb 39), London’s Bankside district in Southwark was known for its taverns, brothels and playhouses in the early modern period. However, in approximately 50 BCE its strategic location on the south bank of the Thames enticed the Roman army to use it as a military base for its conquering of Britain. From Bankside, the Romans built a bridge to the north side of the river and established the ancient town of Londinium. The Bankside district is mentioned in a variety of early modern texts, mostly in reference to the bawdy reputation of its citizens. Today, London’s Bankside is known as an arts district and is considered essential to the culture of the city.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility. MoEML uses the term author to designate a contributor who is wholly or partly responsible for the original content of either a born-digital document, such as an encyclopedia entry, or a primary source document, such as a MoEML Library text. Data manager A person or organization responsible for managing databases or other data sources. MoEML uses the term data manager to designate contributors who maintain and manage our databases. They add and update the data sent to us by external contributors or found by MoEML team members. They also monitor journals and sources regularly to ensure that our databases are current. Geographic information specialist A person responsible for geographic information system (GIS) development and integration with global positioning system data. MoEML uses the term geographic information specialist to designate a contributor who has georeferenced a dataset (or data within the dataset) or added geo-coordinates to a historical map. Markup editor A person or organization performing the coding of SGML, HTML, or XML markup of metadata, text, etc. MoEML uses the code mrk both for the primary encoder(s) and for the person who edits the encoding. MoEML’s normal workflow includes a step whereby encoders check each other’s work. We use the term encoder to designate the principal encoder, and markup editor to designate the person who checks the encoding. Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Research team head A person who directed or managed a research project. MoEML uses the terms research term head and assistant project manager interchangeably. Copy editor MoEML uses the term copy editor to designate the person who brings the document into conformity with MoEML stylistic and citational practice. Acceptable names for this role are copy editor, principal copy editor, secondary copy editor, or copy editor of a particular section of text. Toponymist MoEML uses the term toponymist to designate the person who identifies the place references in a text and points them to the right place in our locations database. The toponymist does not necessarily encode the toponyms. In most cases, the author of a born-digital article or the editor of a primary-source document will also be the toponymist. Added Agas/GeoJSON coordinates. Removed old geo coordinates now superceded by GeoJSON. Added sourceDesc information for born-digital documents. Standardized respStmts for JENS1, MCFI1, and HOLM3 and added TAKE1 as Junior Programmer. Added XInclude for listPrefixDef in the header. Added global publicationStmt through XInclude. Eliminated superfluous catRef elements from the header. Added catRef elements based on the place/type values in the document. Put change elements inside revisionDesc into the correct (latest first) order. Added profileDesc containing document type information expressed in catRef elements. Converted @rend to @style, through XSLT transformation. Transformed existing byline elements into a respStmt element in the header. Left byline elements in place for the moment. Added front element with docTitle as part of a normalization process. This will be used as the definitive page title on rendering. Various updates and fixes made through XSLT, to standardize and normalize encoding practices. Data in the old INDEX1.xml was merged into this file in the form of a facsimile element and a listPlace in the body of the text. Various markup errors were fixed, and markup was normalized to some degree, to make it valid against tei_all. 5 February 2007 Melanie Chernyk updated byline format Trig Lane

Trig Lane was the lane leading down from Thames Street (now called Upper Thames Street) to the river landing place called Trig Stairs on the north bank of the Thames. See the river chase sequence in Middleton’s A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (Middleton 4.2.6ff), which takes place here. Going east from Trig Lane along the Thames were Wheatsheaf Wharf, Paul’s Pier Wharf, and Puddle Wharf, this last landing about a quarter-mile (.4 km) away. Trig Lane, then, was in a fairly rowdy area full of water traffic, sailors, and porters, with a lot of other rough trade as well: in the puppet play in Jonson’s Bartholomew Fair, Leander, a young ruffian, falls in love with Hero, a prostitute, when she lands at Trig Stairs. Her boatman was Old Cole, who carried her across the river from Southwark and Bankside, places famous for the whores who spread syphilitic sores known as Winchester geese among their customers. According to Thomas Cooper, Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae (1584), Pudendagra [is] A disease about the priuie members like that we cal a Winchester goose (qtd. in LEME, pudendagra). The same definition appears in John Florio’s Italian-English dictionary, A World of Words (1598), along with other more explicit descriptions (Florio; LEME). The brothels in this area were in the Bishop of Winchester’s neighbourhood, and prostitutes arrested in that area ended up in the Clink, the prison at one time under the Bishop’s jurisdiction, now a museum.
