New Alley
New Alley was a north-south alley in Cornhill Ward. It was opposite Bartholomew Lane and was displaced in the construction of the Royal Exchange in 1566 (Harben; BHO). According to Stow, it was one of three alleys that were destroyed in the construction
of the Royal Exchange, alongside Swan Alley and St. Christopher’s Alley.
While the Agas map does not label New Alley, evidence from the Vertue map suggests that it did appear in the 1560s edition of
the map.
