Castle Alley

Agas Map

Castle Alley was a small passage that ran north-south along the western side of the Royal Exchange, connecting Threadneedle street and Cornhill. It crossed the boundary lines of Cornhill and Broad Street wards, and was named for the sign of the Castle Tavern (Stow). Not to be confused with Castle Alley in Queenhithe ward, Castle Alley in Cornhill is unmarked on the Agas map, however it appears on both the Ogilby and Morgan map of 1676 (labelled i63) and the Rocque map of 1746.

Royal Exchange

Located in Broad Street Ward and Cornhill Ward, the Royal Exchange was opened in 1570 to make business more convenient for merchants and tradesmen (Harben 512). The construction of the Royal Exchange was largely funded by Sir Thomas Gresham (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 718).
Royal Exchange is mentioned in the following documents:
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 was apparently very well known for its taverns.
Threadneedle 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:
Cornhill Ward

MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries. This page offers a diplomatic transcription of the opening section of John Stow’s description of this ward from his Survey of London.
Cornhill Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
Broad Street Ward

MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries. This page offers a diplomatic transcription of the opening section of John Stow’s description of this ward from his Survey of London.
Broad Street Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
The Castle

The Castle was a large stone house in Cornhill ward, located on the north side of Cornhill at the western side of the Royal Exchange. Part of it was removed for the expansion of the Royal Exchange in 1566, and is mentioned by Stow as being named for the Castle Tavern sign.
The Castle is mentioned in the following documents:
Castle Alley

The Agas map labels this small street Castell hill. In The A to Z of Elizabethan London, Prockter and Taylor label this street Castle Alley (21). There does not seem to be any information in Stow about this hill or alley. Stow does talk about a Castle Lane further west, between the Blackfriars and the Thames, near the Fleet River.
Castle Alley is mentioned in the following documents:
Queenhithe Ward

MoEML is aware that the ward boundaries are inaccurate for a number of wards. We are working on redrawing the boundaries. This page offers a diplomatic transcription of the opening section of John Stow’s description of this ward from his Survey of London.
Queenhithe Ward is mentioned in the following documents:
