Silver Street, London

[3] According to Charles Nicholl, who has written a detailed analysis of Shakespeare's life on Silver Street, their house can be identified on the "Woodcut map".

[4] The Mountjoys were Huguenots who ran a business making luxury headgear for ladies, including theatrical costumes.

During the Second World War the Cripplegate area, where the street was located, was virtually destroyed in the Blitz.

A commemorative stone marks the site of St Olave's Church, Silver Street, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of London.

On 21 April 2016, the City of London installed a blue plaque in Noble Street, near the site of the Mountjoys' house.

"This was the Parish Church of St. Olave Silver Street, Destroyed by the Dreadfull Fire in the Year 1666"
