Little Tower Hill

Little Tower Hill
   North-east and east of the Tower, extending south from the Minories to Little Thames Street (Stow's Survey, 1598-P.O. Directory, 1912). Now called Tower Hill (q.v.).
   It seems to have been all called Tower Hill in early days, for Strype (ed. 1720, I. ii. 12) refers to it as Tower Hill (now called Little Tower Hill).
