LEADENHALL STREET, LONDON
A very old drawing of Leadenhall Street in the heart of London.
Leadenhall Street ran east-west from Cornhill Street to Aldgate Street. The street acquired its name from Leadenhall, a onetime house and later a market. The building was reportedly famous for having a leaden roof .
The name Leadenhall Street first appeared in the seventeenth century. Before this time, it was considered to be a part of Cornhill Street. The street had existed for a long time in one form or another, for in it have been found parts of nine tessellated Roman pavements including, in 1803, a particularly fine example at a depth of 9ft 6ins. The church of St. Katharine Cree stood at the corner of Leadenhall and Gracechurch.
Leadenhall was destroyed, rebuilt, and renovated through centuries, but both the market and the street still exist today.
