THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE CITY
It seems convenient in treating of the history and archæology of the City to take the streets in groups, each group being in connection with the main street to which it belongs. We may in this fashion conveniently arrange the streets as follows:—
| (1) | Those north and south of Cheapside and the Poultry. |
| (2) | Those north of Gresham Street and west of Moorgate Street. |
| (3) | Those between Moorgate and Bishopsgate Streets. |
| (4) | Those between Fenchurch and Bishopsgate Streets. |
| (5) | Thames Street and the streets north and south of it. |
| (6) | Newgate Street and the streets north and south of it. |
| (7) | Fleet Street and the adjacent Courts (including the Temple and the Rolls). |
