Milk Street, London

[1] The street was seriously damaged by German bombing during the Second World War and has since been completely rebuilt.

[2] Archaeological investigations of a site on the corner of the modern Milk Street and Russia Row by the Museum of London in 1976–77 found Roman remains.

[4] It was the site of medieval London's milk market[5][6] and is also recorded as "Melchstrate" (1227), "Melkestrate" (1231), "Melcstrate", "Melkstrete", "Milkstrate" (1278–79), "Milcstrate" (1279), and "Milkestretende".

The parish was then merged with the adjacent St Lawrence Jewry[7] and Honey Lane Market built on the site which at one time had 105 butchers' stalls.

[8] It was paid for with money bequeathed for the purpose by John Carpenter, city clerk in the reign of King Henry V.[7] It outgrew this site and in 1883 the school moved to the Victoria Embankment.
