Description:The south end of London Bridge, close to Shakespeare’s Globe. The southern end of London Bridge led directly into the parish of St. Mary Overy. This was a busy area for industry as is indicated by the mechanical hoist in Norden's drawing. People travelling on foot, or horseback to the theatres and other entertainments of the district passed this way every day.
