Goldsmiths’ Row
Goldsmiths’ Row was a section on the south side of Cheapside, by Cheapside Cross. The part of Cheapside known as Goldsmiths’ Row ran
between Bread Street and Friday Street (Weinreb and Hibbert
148). Goldsmiths’ Row and the shops and homes of other wealthy
merchants made the street an elite and attractive one. Stow claims that there
were ten houses and fourteen shops in Goldsmith’s Row, and that they were easily
the most beautiful in London (Stow 1:296, 1:345–46).1 In the long view of Edward VI’s coronation procession through London,2 the windows of the shops in Goldsmiths’ Row are stocked with standing cups and other plate.

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:

Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross)
If monuments could speak, the Cheapside Cross would have told a tale of kingly love, civic pride, and sectarian violence. The Cross, pictured but not labelled on the Agas map, stood in Cheapside between Friday Street and Wood Street. St. Peter Westcheap lay to its west, on the north side of Cheapside. The prestigious shops of Goldsmiths’ Row were located to the east of the Cross, on the south side of Cheapside. The Standard in Cheapside (also known as the Cheap Standard), a square pillar/conduit that was also a ceremonial site, lay further to the east (Brissenden xi).Cheapside Cross (Eleanor Cross) is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bread Street
Bread Street ran north-south from the Standard in Cheapside to Knightrider Street, crossing Watling Street. It lay wholly in the ward of Bread Street, to which it gave its name.Bread Street is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Friday Street
Friday Street passed south through Bread Street Ward, beginning at the cross in Cheapside and ending at Old Fish Street. It was one of many streets that ran into Cheapside market whose name is believed to originate from the goods that were sold there.Friday Street is mentioned in the following documents:
