Newgate Street

Newgate Street
   West from Cheapside and St. Martin's le Grand to Holborn Viaduct and Old Bailey (P.O. Directory). In Farringdon Ward Within and Without.
   First mention: " Newgatestrete," 1311 (Riley's Mem. xiii. L. Bk. D. f. 110).
   This name does not, however, appear in Sharp's Calendar of this letter-book, and it seems very doubtful whether it was in use at such an early date.
   Further, the name does not appear in Stow, or Agas, but it is shown on a survey of the Greyfriars, 1546 and 1617, as forming the western end of the present street from Warwick Lane to Newgate (Trans. L. and M. Arch. Soc. V. 421).
   The eastern end was called " Blowbladder Street" (q.v.) up to and at the time Stow wrote.
   The western end to Warwick Lane was known as "The Shambles," "St. Nicholas Shambles lane" and" St. Nicholas Flesh shambles "and "Newgate Market" (q.v.) from the 13th century onwards.
   Widened 1841.
   No.101 in this street is believed to stand on the site of the entrance to the old church of the Grey Friars Monastery (End. Ch. Rep. Christ Church, Newgate Street, 1902, p. 10).
