I've been researching Whitecross Street for a section of my PhD looking at literary representations of the street market.<br /><br />I was particularly intrigued to read about the market's origins - that it emerged from outside the purview of the guilds. This would tally perfectly with its reputation in the 19th century as a centre of 'unauthorized' and 'disenfranchised' trade. <br /><br />I have seen references to Whitecross Street's medieval origins elsewhere on the net, including on Islington Council's website. I've looked around in various archives and books, but unfortunately I can find the source for this information and so I'm unable to use it. I wondered if you could help me out and tell me where you'd found this?<br /><br />And also I look forward to reading your next instalment of your blog. Incidentally, I taught Jack Sheppard this year.... It seems our interests converge on a variety of fronts!<br /><br />All best,<br /><br />Peter Jones.PTAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682743409065664512noreply@blogger.com
