Excerpt from History of the Monument: Published by Authority of the City Lands Committee of the Corporation of London
This famous pillar, built to commemorate the Great Fire of London, stands in the small open square known as Monument Yard, on the east side of Fish Street Hill. This thoroughfare is described by Stow as the northern continuation of Bridge Street, "commonly called (of the Fishmarket) New Fishstreete," where, he says, "be fishmongers and fayre tauerns; on Fishstreete hill and Grassestreete, men of diuers trades, grocers and habardashers."
