Little Somerset Street, E1

Little Somerset Street was originally called Harrow Alley but colloquially known as ’Blood Alley.’

Aldgate print executed about 1609 From a set of anonymous prints commissioned for the Corporation of the City of London, about 1600-1610.

The area once contained eight butcher’s shops which were all bought up by one owner.

The City of London once charged a tariff for driving cattle across the square mile and so a thriving butchery trade grew up in Aldgate and Whitechapel, slaughtering cattle before the carcasses were transported over to Smithfield.
