Chick Lane (Tower Street Ward)
Chick Lane ran north-south from Tower Hill into Tower
Street. Stow confirms that it ran
on the east of Barking church.It is likely that Chick Lane also featured the
diuers houses lately builded, and other incrochmentesfound directly above the lane on the west side of Tower Hill (Stow).
Chick Lane is featured on the Agas map. It is a
small street on the east side of All Hallows
Barking churchyard and west of the houses directly south of the Tower Hill scaffold. This lane appears as
Barking Alleyon Benjamin Cole’s 1754 engraving of Tower Street Ward (Cole).

(Stow).Tower Hill is mentioned in the following documents:

Tower Street
Tower Street ran east-west from Tower Hill in the east to St. Andrew Hubbard church. It was the principal street of Tower Street Ward. That the ward is named after the street indicates the cultural significance of Tower Street, which was a key part of the processional route through London and home to many wealthy merchants who traded in the goods that were unloaded at the docks and quays immediately south of Tower Street (for example, Billingsgate, Wool Key, and Galley Key).Tower Street is mentioned in the following documents:
