Mouldmaker's Row

Mouldmaker's Row:    West out of Foster Lane and north from Round Court and west and north into Dean's Court. In St. Martin's le Grand in Aldersgate Ward (Lockie, 1816).

   First mention: "Moldmaker Row" (O. and M. 1677).

   In a deed of 1684 some of the messuages are described as newly built (L.C.C. Deeds, Harben Bequest, 1600-1700, No.102).

   Other name: "Mouldmakers Rents" (Strype, Ed. 1720).

   The western end seems to have been called " Back Alley" (q.v.) in the 18th century.
