Poultry
City, 80, Cheapside. (EC2) Named from the poulterers' stalls which stood here. St. Mildred's Court, which is in the Poultry, was at one time called Scalding Alley, from a large house in it where fowls were scalded preparatory to their being exposed for sale. (Reference: Smith's Streets of London, p. 374) Here, in 1798, Tom Hood was born. For many years his father was a partner in the firm of Verner, Hood & Sharpe, booksellers and publishers. |
