Trig Lane

Agas Map

Trig Lane was the lane leading down from Thames Street (now called Upper Thames Street) to the river landing place called Trig Stairs on the north bank of the Thames. See the river chase sequence in Middleton’s A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (Middleton 4.2.6ff), which takes place here. Going east from Trig Lane along the Thames were Wheatsheaf Wharf, Paul’s Pier Wharf, and Puddle Wharf, this last landing about a quarter-mile (.4 km) away. Trig Lane, then, was in a fairly rowdy area full of water traffic, sailors, and porters, with a lot of other rough trade as well: in the puppet play in Jonson’s Bartholomew Fair, Leander, a young ruffian, falls in love with Hero, a prostitute, when she lands at Trig Stairs. Her boatman was Old Cole, who carried her across the river from Southwark and Bankside, places famous for the whores who spread syphilitic sores known as Winchester geese among their customers. According to Thomas Cooper, Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae (1584), Pudendagra [is] A disease about the priuie members like that we cal a Winchester goose (qtd. in LEME, pudendagra). The same definition appears in John Florio’s Italian-English dictionary, A World of Words (1598), along with other more explicit descriptions (Florio; LEME). The brothels in this area were in the Bishop of Winchester’s neighbourhood, and prostitutes arrested in that area ended up in the Clink, the prison at one time under the Bishop’s jurisdiction, now a museum.

Locations

Thames Street

Thames Street was the longest street in early modern London, running east-west from the ditch around the Tower of London in the east to St. Andrew’s Hill and Puddle Wharf in the west, almost the complete span of the city within the walls.
Thames Street is mentioned in the following documents:
Trig Stairs
Trig Stairs is mentioned in the following documents:
The Thames

Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.
The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
Paul’s Wharf

According to Schofield, Paul’s Wharf is one of the oldest wharfs on the Thames (Schofield 181). Located in both Castle Baynard Ward and Queenhithe Ward, Paul’s Wharf was situated near St. Paul’s Cathedral and St. Benet. Since Paul’s Wharf was only blocks away from St. Paul’s Cathedral, the clergy used the wharf as a point of travel.
Paul’s Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:
Puddle Wharf

Puddle Wharf was a water gate along the north bank of the Thames (Stow). Also known as Puddle Dock, it was located in Castle Baynard Ward, down from St. Andrew’s Hill. Puddle Wharf was built in 1294 to serve as the main quay for Blackfriars Monastery. (Weinreb and Hibbert 68, 229). In the early modern period, Puddle Wharf would have been the main landing place for playgoers on their way to the Blackfriars theatre via the river.
Puddle Wharf is mentioned in the following documents:
Southwark
Southwark is mentioned in the following documents:
Bankside

Described by Weinreb as redolent of squalor and vice (Weinreb 39), London’s Bankside district in Southwark was known for its taverns, brothels and playhouses in the early modern period. However, in approximately 50 BCE its strategic location on the south bank of the Thames enticed the Roman army to use it as a military base for its conquering of Britain. From Bankside, the Romans built a bridge to the north side of the river and established the ancient town of Londinium. The Bankside district is mentioned in a variety of early modern texts, mostly in reference to the bawdy reputation of its citizens. Today, London’s Bankside is known as an arts district and is considered essential to the culture of the city.
Bankside is mentioned in the following documents:
