Noble Street ran north-south between Maiden Lane in the south and Silver Street in the north. It is
all of Aldersgate street ward(Stow). On the Agas map, it is labelled as
Noble Str.and is depicted as having a right-hand curve at its north end, perhaps due to an offshoot of the London Wall.
Stow remarks that
Shelley house (of old time so called, as belonging to the Shelleyes) Sir Thomas Shelley, knight, was owner thereof in the I. of H. the 4. It is now called Bacon house, because the same was new builded by sir Nicholas Bacon Lord Keeper of the great Seale. Down on that side by Sergeant Fleetwoods house, Recorder of London, who also new builded it.At the north end of Noble Street sat the
(Stow)
parrish church of S. Olaue in Siluer Streete, a small thing, and without any noteworthy monuments(Stow).
Noble Street survives in modern London. It has been straightened and extended with a cyclist lane added on to its north
end.

Locations

Maiden Lane
There were actually two streets in early modern London commonly called Maiden Lane, though only one was properly referred to by that name. The true Maiden Lane, to which this page refers, was shared between Cripplegate Ward, Aldersgate Ward, and Farringdon Within. It ran west from Wood Street, andoriginated as a trackway across the Covent Garden
(Bebbington 210) to St. Martin’s Lane.Maiden Lane is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Silver Street
Silver Street was a small but historically significant street that ran east-west, emerging out of Noble Street in the west and merging into Addle Street in the east. Monkwell Street (labelledMuggle St.
on the Agas map) lay to the north of Silver Street and seems to have marked its westernmost point, and Little Wood Street, also to the north, marked its easternmost point. Silver Street ran through Cripplegate Ward and Farringdon Ward Within. It is labelled asSyluer Str.
on the Agas map and is drawn correctly. Perhaps the most noteworthy historical fact about Silver Street is that it was the location of one of the houses in which William Shakespeare dwelled during his time in London.Silver Street is mentioned in the following documents:

London Wall (street)
London Wall was a long street running along the inside of the northern part of the City Wall. It ran east-west from the north end of Broad Street to Cripplegate (Prockter and Taylor 43). The modern London Wall street is a major traffic thoroughfare now. It follows roughly the route of the former wall, from Old Broad Street to the Museum of London (whose address is 150 London Wall).London Wall (street) is mentioned in the following documents:
