The Street is pretty broad, and better built than inhabited. On the South side is Fishers Court, a pretty handsome open Place, with a Freestone Pavement. Also Bidles Court, indifferent good, with a Freestone Pavement. Betwixt these two Courts is Rose Alley. On the North side of this Street, is Red Lion Inn, a Place chiefly for Stables and Coaches. And on this side of the Street are two other Yards, imployed for the said Use.
