Threadneedle Street

Agas Map

List documents mentioning Threadneedle Street

Threadneedle Street ran east-west from Bishopsgate Street to Cornhill and the Stocks Market. It passed the north end of the Royal Exchange and was entirely in Broad Street Ward. Threadneedle Street, also called Three Needle Street, is clearly visible on the Agas map. It curves southwest from St. Martin Outwich and the pump in Bishopsgate Street to St. Mary Woolchurch and the Cornhill Conduit. Stow describes the churches, halls, and the Royal Exchange in the street.

According to Harben, Threadneedle Street was also known as Broad Street. The name possibly derives from the sign of Three needles (Harben; BHO). The street was apparently well known for its taverns (Sugden 514). Threadneedle Street still exists in modern London.

Locations

Bishopsgate Street

Bishopsgate Street ran north from Cornhill Street to the southern end of Shoreditch Street at the city boundary. South of Cornhill, the road became Gracechurch Street, and the two streets formed a major north-south artery in the eastern end of the walled city of London, from London Bridge to ShoreditchImportant sites included: Bethlehem Hospital, commonly corrupted to the short form -bedlam, a mental hospital and Bull Inn, where plays were performed before Shakespeare’s time (Weinreb and Hibbert 67).
Bishopsgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:
Cornhill

Cornhill was a significant thoroughfare and was part of the cityʼs main major east-west thoroughfare that divided the northern half of London from the southern half. The part of this thoroughfare named Cornhill extended from St. Andrew Undershaft to the three-way intersection of Threadneedle, Poultry, and Cornhill where the Royal Exchange was built. The name Cornhill preserves a memory both of the cornmarket that took place in this street, and of the topography of the site upon which the Roman city of Londinium was built.
Cornhill is mentioned in the following documents:
Stocks Market

The Stocks Market was a significant market for fish and flesh in early modern London, located south of Poultry, north of Bucklersbury, and west of Walbrook Street in Cornhill Ward (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). The building of the Stocks Market was commissioned by lord mayor Henry le Wales in 1283 and, according to the editors of The London Encyclopedia, is named after the the only fixed pair of stocks in the city (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 879). It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London, rebuilt, and then replaced in 1739 by the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.
