Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Annotated image Шаблон:Annotated image Beer Lane (originally Bear Lane or Beare Lane) was a short street of the City of London from at least 1570 to 1910. It ran from almost the east end of Great Tower Street (latterly № 37), from opposite Seething Lane, to 53 Lower Thames Street, opposite the east warehouse block of Custom House.[1][2] John Stow (born 1525) wrote "At the east end of Tower Street, on the south side, have yeШаблон:Efn Beare Lane, wherein are many fair houses, and runneth down to Thames Street."[3]
Opposite its lower end, on the Tideway's city bank, was Bear Quay, later Great Bear Quay and Little Bear Quay, principally used for the landing and shipment of corn.[1] Edward Hatton, in his A New View of London (1708) wrote "Here is a very great market for wheat and other sorts of grain, brought hither from the neighbouring counties".[4]
In the early twentieth century, the lane hosted the office-warehouse of H.C. König & Co. from where they distributed their Westphalian Gin.[5]
