Gingerbread Court

Gingerbread Court
   North out of Lamb Alley, Bishopsgate, in Bishopsgate Ward Without (Rocque, 1746-Elmes, 1831).
   Some land in Gingerbread Court was purchased in 1672 and houses built thereon in 1731-2 for Alleyne's and Underwood's Almshouses in place of almshouses elsewhere then pulled down (End. Ch. St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, p. 47). These almshouses are shown in O.S. 1875 and 1880.
   The site is now covered by Liverpool Street Station and the railway lines.
