Myddelton Street, London 1970s

Myddelton Street runs near Clerkenwell Green and Farringdon Road, in an area known historically for its association with the New River Company — Hugh Myddelton was the engineer behind the New River, which brought fresh water to London in the early 17th century. The area today is just outside the formal boundary of the City of London, but very close by — a few minutes’ walk north of Smithfield and the old City wall
