W1312 Harp Alley (Shoe Lane, Fleet Street) Halfpenny (Undated)
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.O
