Jewin Street

Jewin Street
   East out of Aldersgate Street, between Nos. 44 and 45, to Redcross Street, in Aldersgate and Cripplegate Wards Without (P.O. Directory).
   First mention: 1672 (L. and P. Chas. II. XII. 274).
   The street was erected on the site of what had been called "Jews' Garden" (q.v.), and the name is derived from this circumstance.
   Stow speaks of houses having been erected on the ground when he wrote, viz. 1603, so that the formation of the street would date from about that time.
   15 messuages, described in a deed of 1687 as formerly part of Jewin garden, commonly called the "Companyes garden," owned by the Goldsmiths' Company (L.C.C. Deeds, Harben Bequest, 1600-1700, No. 114).
