Peters

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

A name given to the fishermen who brought fresh fish into the City for sale.


In 1406 they were ordered to stand in Chepe with their fish and nowhere else (Cal. L. Bk. I. 56).

The fishermen at Gravesend were known some years ago as Petermen.

"Peteresnets" are mentioned in the City Records.
