We may in this fashion conveniently arrange the streets as follows:— (1) Those north and south of Cheapside and the Poultry. (2) Those north of Gresham Street and west of Moorgate Street. (3) Those between Moorgate and Bishopsgate Streets. (4) Those between Fenchurch and Bishopsgate Streets. (5) Thames Street and the streets north and south of it. (6) Newgate Street and the streets north and south of it. (7) Fleet Street and the adjacent Courts (including the Temple and the Rolls). GROUP I =Cheapside.=—We begin with the true heart of London, West Chepe, as it was formerly called, and the streets lying north and south of this marketplace. St. Paul’s Churchyard and Foster Lane mark our western boundary; Princes Street and Walbrook, our eastern; Gresham Street (formerly Cateaton Street) is on the north, and Cannon Street on the south. By the time of Queen Elizabeth we find the West Chepe, with its streets north and south, laid out with something like the modern regularity. We must therefore go back to earlier centuries to discover its origin.
