- Title:
- New Street and Cutler Street Warehouses
- Scope & Content:
- A complex of warehouses between Petticoat Lane, Houndsditch, and Bishopsgate was built by the East India Company in the late eighteenth century. These buildings survived until the twentieth century. The site was redeveloped in 1978-82 but four out of seven of the Company's warehouses were preserved in the Cutlers Gardens scheme. The Old Bengal Warehouse, New Street [L/L/2/712-734] was built by the East India Company in 1769 and 1770 on the site of property in Hand (or Todds) Alley purchased from Joseph Eyre. (The Bengal Warehouse survived until the late 20th century as Shield House and was then re-developed and re-named as Tapestry Building apartments.) A house on the corner of New Street was acquired in 1775 by the Company from Eyre in order to widen the passage to the Bengal Warehouse. In 1795 the Company took possession of an estate on the north side of New Street from the Gill family but sold it in 1808 since the site was unlikely to be needed in future building schemes. The warehouses in New Street and Gravel Lane [L/L/2/735-744] were built in 1793 and 1794 on property purchased from Thomas Rawstorne, Robert Wilks, Benjamin Wood, Mary Terry, Hannah Munday, Thomas Russell and Robert Hulme. Warehouses and dwellings between Petticoat Lane and Houndsditch [L/L/2/745-746]. Three stacks of warehouses and two dwelling houses were erected in 1796 and 1797 partly on a section of Gravel Lane appropriated by the Company with the authority of an Act of Parliament [36 Geo 3 c.127], and partly on land purchased from Thomas Rawstorne, William Middleton, the parish of St Ethelburga, Thomas Chapman, Joseph Sibley and his wife Frances, and Edward Howell. The warehouses between Petticoat Lane and Houndsditch [L/L/2/747-748] were built in 1799 partly on the section of Gravel Lane appropriated by the Company, and partly on land acquired from Thomas Rawstorne, Joseph Sibley and his wife Frances, William Middleton, William Scambler, John Cooper, and Henry Abbott. Warehouses, store sheds and dwelling for the Company's husband [L/L/2/749] were built in 1806 on ground between Houndsditch and Petticoat Lane abutting Harrow Alley purchased from Thomas Rawstorne, Moses Adams, William Middleton, Reverend Josiah Thompson, Dr Abram Wilkinson, and Francis J Anson. House, warehouses, coach-houses and stables on the north side of Gravel Lane purchased by the Company in January 1796 , and Devonshire House purchased in 1805 [L/L/2/751-757].
