I think the terrible tower is the Walkie-Talkie, the Cheesegrater is basically across the road from the market.

Mark Lane may be dull (its main claim to fame being that it used to have an Underground station named after it) but I discovered a few days ago that by cutting through Dunster Court you would find Plantation Lane, with its interesting mix of inscriptions in the pavement. It includes a list of monarchs - and where else can you find the word "bastard" embedded in the pavement?
What is surprising is how close the boundary of the fire is on this eastern side to Pudding Lane. Of course, this area was upwind of the seat of the fire.
Looking at old maps, I believe that the street known as "London Wall" actually lies inside the line of the wall itself, rather than having been built in its place as the peripheriques in Paris and Brussels were. There are several preserved sections of wall in the area immediately to the north of the eponymous street.
Fascinating set of posts. Thanks.

- Not having been allocated a number.
- Innumerate (cf "unlettered"
- Innumerable
as in "Unnumbered comforts to my soul" (2nd verse of the hymn "When all thy mercies O my God") or - another hymn
"ON Zion's heavenly mount, behold, Unnumbered saints rejoicing stand"
