Upper East Smithfield

Upper East Smithfield
   East from Littie Tower Hill to Dock Street (P.O. Directory).
   Earliest mention: Lockie, 1810.
   Former name: "East Smithfield" (O. and M. 1677-Horwood, 1799).
   Hatton (1708) says it was so called from its being in the east part of London, but this street certainly derived its name from the district of East Smithfield in which it was situated, and was so called to distinguish it from Lower East Smithfield, nearer the river.
