Goat Alley

South out of Ludgate Hill, in Farringdon Ward Without (Strype, ed. 1720–Boyle, 1799).

Former name: "Goat Yard" (O. and M. 1677).

It seems to be called "Goale Court" or "Kings Arms Court" in 1626 (L.C.C. Deeds, Harben Bequest, 1600–1700, No. 162).

Site now covered by the L.C. and Dover Railway lines.

Named after a sign.
