Jewin Crescent

Jewin Crescent:    North out of Jewin Street, between Nos. 34-35 and 48-49, in Alders-gate Ward Without and Cripplegate Ward Without (P.O. Directory).

   So named in 1878.

   In Horwood, 1799, the eastern half only was erected, not the houses in Aldersgate Ward.

   It was called the Crescent in Lockie, 1810, to O.S. 1875.

   Prior to the erection of the Crescent the site was occupied by "Bull Head Court" (O. and M. 1677, to Boyle, 1799) and Nixon's Square (q.v.).
