Crosby Street

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

East out of Crosby Square to St. Mary Axe (Strype, 1720-Elmes, 1831).


"Crosby's Street" (Rocque, 1746, and Horwood, 1799).

In Hatton, 1708, it is described as a passage only, apparently unnamed, and seems to have been included as a lane in the grant to Sir John Crosby in 1466 (L. and P. H. VIII. 1542, XVII. 487).

It is now called Great St. Helens (q.v.).
