Churchyard Alley Hole

Churchyard Alley Hole
   At the south end of Churchyard Alley adjoining the Water Works on the west side of Old London Bridge (Rocque, 1746).
   A wharf or stairs on the river in Bridge Ward Within.
   Perhaps this wharf or quay may be identified with one designated in early times as "le Hole" (q.v.), which seems to have been near the new churchyard of St. Magnus. If so, this would explain the subsequent designation, "Churchyard Alley Hole."
