Former names: "Little Moorfields and Broken Row" (Horwood, 1799). "Little Moorgate" (Rocque, 1746, the southern end only). "Bloomfield Place" (Greenwood, 1829).

from the Grub Street Project, by Allison Muri (2006-present)

Blomfield Street. Note error in Harben, which should read: "Former names: 'Little Moorfields and Broker Row' (Horwood, 1799)." Probably the label in Roque is for the gate itself, rather than the street.
