This seemingly fairly modern looking alley is actually one of the oldest in London, and potentially dates from pre-Saxon London.
One of the best hidden of the City's alleys can be found through a small gap in a corner laying within a small maze of other alleys.
This is one of those seemingly ancient alleys that the City of London is so rich in, yet almost impossible to find anything about.
It's 1am on 25th March 1748 and a small fire has started in a wig maker in the City of London. By lunchtime nearly 100 homes and two entire blocks in the heart of the city would lay in ruins.
This alley has the distinction of being involved indirectly in King Henry's break from Rome and appeared in Pepy's Diary.
