   South out of Crutched Friars, at No.22, to Trinity Square, Tower Hill (P.O. Directory). In Aldgate Ward.
   First mention: Strype, 1720.
   The northern portion from Colchester Street to Crutched Friars was called " Rivers' Street," River Street " (O. and M. 1677-Boyle, 1799).
   Sir Thomas Savage in 1626 had a house here on Tower Hill and the street was named after him (Povah, p.153).
   His son succeeded to the Viscounty of Colchester and Earldom of Rivers by right of his mother, the heiress of the former Viscount, hence the names of neighbouring streets, Rivers' Street " and Colchester Street."
