LANCASTER PLACE

   North out of Church Street, Minories (P.O. Directory).

   Former names : "Tidewaiter's Court" (western portion) (Strype, ed. 1720, Pt. 1, 55-Elmes, 1831). "Trinity Court" (Rocque, 1746-Lond. Guide, 1758). "Wright Street," 1771 (Tomlinson, p. 329). "Wright's Rents" (eastern portion) (Horwood, 1799).

   It seems to have been called "Lancaster Place" at least prior to 1825, as it is recorded in the Vestry Minute Books of Holy Trinity Minories' parish that the Vestry granted a lease of vacant ground in Lancaster Place in that year (Tomlinson's Minories, p. 330).

   May have been rebuilt when the L. and N. W. Ry. Goods station and depot were erected in the neighbourhood.
