Charterhouse Street

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

North-east from Holborn Circus at No. 10 to 22 Charterhouse Square. The western end is in Farringdon Ward Without, the north-eastern portion in the Boroughs of Holborn and Finsbury, outside the City boundary (P.O. Directory).


Formed 1869-75 on the site of Chick Lane, Newcastle Court, Old Brewhouse Yard, etc. (q.v.).

It has now absorbed at its eastern end the street which was formerly until 1881 called Charterhouse Lane.

The street formerly known as Charterhouse Street ran north and south extending north out of Long Lane to Charterhouse Square (Strype, ed. 1720-O.S. 1848-51), and is now called Hayne Street (q.v.).
