Street.

Street from Whitecross Street to Golden Lane.
(iii) A new street, 30ft. wide to be formed in continuation of
Banner Street, from Whitecross Street to Reform Place,
and 20ft. wide thence to Hartshorn Court.
(iv) A new street, 30ft. wide, to be formed to connect (ii) &
(iii) in the line of Little Cheapside.
(v) A new street, 30ft wide, to be formed from Bunhill Row to
Whitecross Street in the line of Twister's Alley.
(vi) A new street, 30ft. wide, to be formed from the wide part
of Lamb's Buildings to Whitecross Street, in the line of
Blue Anchor Alley.
(vii) A new street, 30ft wide, to be formed in continuation of
Chequer Alley to Whitecross Street.
(viii) A new street, 30ft. wide, to be formed connecting (vii)

length of George's Court.
By provisional orders, dated 17th April, 1880, and 25th April,
1882 modifications of the scheme were made in detail, and the
number of persons to be rehoused was reduced to 3,631.
