Wall running approximately parallel to Whitefriars and c.10m to the west of this street.Generally remains undamaged.
Observation in May 1985 by B. S. Ayers and J. E. Bown in the same factory when similar stanchion pits were being excavated at approximately 5m intervals some 5m east of Blackfriars Street (ex Peacock Street, ex Rotten Row) revealed water in all pits at a depth of 2m as far north as St. Saviour's Street (between grid references 23312 09210 and 23280 09260.
