Plan of London, circa 1573. . . . .120 



This plan is reproduced from a copy in the British 

 Museum of G. Braun and F. Hohenberg's Civitates 

 Orbis Terrarum, 1573. The 'stiliards* or steelyards 

 of the Hanse merchants are shown on the north side 

 of the river, a little to the west of London Bridge. 

 On the east of the Bridge and opposite the Tower is 

 the anchorage for ships. Westminster is shown on 

 the extreme west of the plan with Lambeth Palace 

 on the opposite bank. Conspicuous objects on the 

 south side of the river are the rings for the ^ boull * 

 and * beare ' baiting. It was on land adjacent to 

 these that the Globe Theatre in which Shakespeare 

 acted was afterwards built.
