Cowbridge

Cowbridge
   A bridge over the River of Wells by Cowbridge Street or Cow Lane, decayed lately and another made further north by Chick Lane (S. 27).
   Mentioned in the Register of Clerkenwell Priory. (Cott. MSS. Faust, A. III. fo. 104). Some land described as "versus pontem de Holburne," et extendit se in longitudine a vico regio usque ad aquam currentem per 'Cubreg.'"
   In O. and M. and other maps Cow Lane meets Snow Hill at right angles with the continuation of Holborn, one hundred yards east of Holborn Bridge. Unless therefore the course of Cow Lane was diverted, it never touched the Fleet, so could hardly be described as "by the bridge." Possibly Cowbridge Street was distinct from Cow Lane.
