New Street, St. Katherine's

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

There were two streets so called in St. Katherine's precinct towards the end' of the 18th century, at the southern end of St. Katherine's lane, one running east to Pillory Lane, the other south to St. Katherine's Court (Horwood, 1799).


They seemed to have been only recently laid out, and but few houses had been erected.

In the middle of the 18th century the site is shown in Rocque's map, 1746, covered by gardens, Unicorn Court, etc.

Removed about 1827 for the formation of St. Katherine's Docks and the adjacent warehouses.
