A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

North out of Brackley Street and west to Hart Court, in Cripplegate Ward Without (O.S. 1875).


First mention: P.C. 1732.

In the 17th century the site was occupied by the Earl of Bridgewater's house (O. and M. 1677), and the gardens partly laid out as Brackley Street and Bridgwater Street (q.v.), hence the name.

The site is now covered by Charles Street and Fann Street (q.v.). Extended 1878.
