The new Exchange erected by Robert Cecil, earl of Salisbury, lord treasurer, in
1608, was, as Sir Richard Baker observes, " a stately building on the north side
of Durham house, where stood an old long stable." The plan appears to have been
similar to Gresham's Burse ; cellars below, the ground-floor level with the
street, a public walk, and on the upper story stalls or shops for the sale of
wares of all descriptions. " On Tuesday, April 10th, 1609, it was begun to be
richly furnished with wares, and the next day after, King James, the Queen, and
Prince Henry, with many great lords and ladies, came to see it, and then the
king gave it the name of Britain's Burse." In 1632, the building is thus
described: " We went to see the new Exchange, in the great street called the
Strand. The building has a facade of stone, built after the Gothic style, that
has lost its colour from age, and is become blackish. It contains two long and
double galleries, one above the other, in which are distributed, in several
rows, great numbers of drapers and mercers very rich shops, filled with goods of
every kind, and with manufactures of the most beautiful description. These are
for the most part under the care of well-dressed women, who are busily employed
in work, although many are served by young men called apprentices*."
A ballad entitled the Burse of Reformation, defaming the Royal Exchange, printed
in Wit Restored, 1658, duod., elicited an answer, also printed in the same
volume, containing an allusion to a tavern that at this period was established
in the cellars of the new Exchange :
" We walke o'er cellars richly fill'd
With spices of each kindf ;
You have a taverne underneath,
And so you 're undermin'd.
If such a building long endure,
All sober men may wonder,
When giddy and light heads prevaile,
Both above ground and under."
Horace Walpole, in his admiration of romance, has related that the relict of the
Duke of Tyrconnel, James the Second's lord deputy of Ireland, had here on the
upper story a milliner's stall, as a maintenance ; and, to avoid detection,
attended in a white dress and white mask, and was known as the White Widow. The
ground-floor was occupied by shops, booksellers and others, designated as " the
Lower Walk of the New Exchange;" it was wholly demolished in 1731; the site
being now occupied by the houses Nos. 54 to 64 inclusive, the banking-house of
Messrs Coutts and Co. being the centre.

Rev. WITHOUT NEWGATE A beaver hat, and R. I. P. 1/4
Vendors of beaver hats were at this time called "haberdashers of hats," then
highly expensive. Dugdale, in his Diary, April 13th, 1661, minutes " payd for a
bever hatt, 4Z. IQs. ;" the fashion of it may be seen in Hollar's portrait of
that distinguished antiquary. Pepys too, who was as anxious to observe the
fashions as any courtier in his day, records in his Diary, June 27th, in the
same year, " this day, Mr. Holden sent me a bever which cost me 41. 5s." Pepys
had evidently bated the seller a crown.
#840 BELONGING TO YE CELLOR ON THE MASTERS SIDE AT 1669.
Rev. NEWGATE The then Debtors' Prison.
Newgate, mentioned by Fitzstephen as one of the seven double gates in the wall
of the city of London, in the reign of King Henry the Second, stood at the west
end of Newgate street. The north end of the present Newgate prison denotes the
site, the gateway extending across the street. In the reign of King John it is
noticed as having long been the gaol or prison for felons or trespassers ; and
in the reign of King Henry the Fifth had become, according to Grafton, " a most
ugly and loathsome prison, " so that the memorable Sir Richard Whittington,
touched in pity, bequeathed money for rebuilding it. License for that purpose
having been obtained in 1422, from King Henry the Sixth, shortly after his
accession, Whittington's executors faithfully performed the purport of his
instructions.
The great fire early in September, 1666, utterly destroyed Newgate ; but it was
shortly after rebuilt for its original uses, and as a debtors' prison. The token
was struck in 1669, as a monetary medium among the prisoners, and is of the
utmost rarity and interest from the delineation of the prison it affords.
Newgate continued till 1776, when it was demolished. The diurnals record that '
' on Tuesday, July 9th, the statue of Whittington and his cat was taken down
from Newgate ; that statue with the others are to be placed in the new prison in
the Old Bailey." The same diurnals, on the 10th, intimated as a caution, that "
the person who is now taking down the gaol of Newgate ought to put up a scaffold
on each side of the gate, to save the passengers from the danger of having their
brains beaten out by the stones, which, in spite of every caution, are liable to
fall on their heads."

NEWGATE MARKET.
The market without Newgate, held on the verge of the former lands and
possessions of the collegiate church of St. Martin -le-grand, is of very remote
date. Stephen king of England, in one of his precepts of restitution of certain
lands of which he had despoiled that church, particularized among others, and
confirmed, " that portion of land, with three stalls in the market, which Peter
More firmly held of Roger bishop of Salisbury, then dean of St. Martin's." This
functionary, who held also the offices of lord chief justice and lord treasurer,
died December llth, 1139.

NEW STREET, Shoe Lane.
New street, between Shoe lane and Fetter lane, was commenced before the
restoration of King Charles the Second. At the wardmote court of Farringdon
Without, held December 21st, 1661, a presentment was preferred against the
master and wardens of the Goldsmiths Company, being the owners of certain newly
erected tenements in New street, by Fewter lane, for defective pavements.
The great fire in September, 1666, made sad devastation in this part of the city
; and John Childe, parish clerk of St. Bride's, who had been newly inducted into
his office, in the May of that year thus sorrowfully entered in the register
under his charge " October, 1666, but sixteene houses in the brode place by Newe
streete." The " brode place" is now the site of Gough square, the three new
streets, the Queen's printing-office, and many other buildings in that locality.
The token was issued before the ruin the parish clerk has so feelingly deplored.

ST. NICHOLAS SHAMBLES.
St. Nicholas in the Shambles is an instance of the retention of the name as a
parish long after it had ceased to be one. King Henry the Eighth granted to the
mayor, commonalty, and citizens of London the church of the late Gray Friars in
London, for a parish church, in place of the church of St. Ewen in Newgate
market, and St. Nicholas in the Shambles, then destroyed, with so much of the
parish of St. Sepulchre as then lay within Newgate, for a newly erected parish
to be called Christchurch.
In the accompt of William Colle, citizen and grocer, as receiver of the rents of
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, 1581-2, credit is taken for rents received from
Thirteen houses in St. Nicholas Fishambles, 50l. 19s. 4c.
Fourteen houses in the new buildings, in the Shambles, 831. 10s. This affords
the date of their erection.
The court of Common Council, on April 29th, 1667, directed the ground, where the
middle row in the Shambles stood, and the ground of the four late houses in
Newgate market, between Warwick-lane end and the late Bell inn there, to be laid
into the street, according to the Act of Parliament for enlarging and widening
the streets. These improvements are denoted in Leake's general plan, embodying
the surveys made by order of the city authorities, after the disastrous fire in
1666.
