ALLEY END AT DITCH SIDE

Query. This token is inscribed AT HARP ALLEY END AT DITCH SIDE. The New Canal (or ditch) ran down present-day Farringdon Street. On the north side of Harp Alley at the east end (ditch side) is St Bridget's Churchyard leaving the southeast corner of Harp Alley as being the most likely candidate.
