Quote from the text:::

..which I shall mention as preparatory to the Plan, at the End of this Description ; that sets it forth in a more plain and intelligent Manner, by Words and Letters.

A. Salt - House - Lane, in which, it is thought, Salt was formerly made.
B. Chapel -Lane Staith.
C. Bishop -Lane Staith.
D. Scale-Lane Staith.
E. Church-Lane Staith.
F. Rotten-End Staith.
G. Horse Staith.

On the other Side of High-Street, terminate moft of thefe Lanes : As,

1. Over-against 'Salter-House' Staith Lane, is either the Continuance of that very Lane, or a particular Place called Salter-Lane, which has its Ending near unto the Beginning of Lowgate.
2. Against Chapel Staith Lane, ends Chapel-Lane, leading (by St. Marys Church) into Low-Gate.
3. Bishops Lane, cross the High-Street, fronts the Staith Lane of that Name.
4. Scale-Lane faces That of the Staith, in like manner.
5. Church-Lane the same, which leads to the Market-Place.
6. Rotten-End Staith is partly towards Black-Fryer-Gate.
7. Horse Staith is near to the South-End, facing the Humber, and almost opposite a Tower of the Garrison, on the East Side of the River, (built Anno 1681, and well stored with Ordnance) mark'd with Three Asterisms, thus * * * to denote the Form of its Situation, (where there are distinct Houses for the Officers, with convenient Apartments for the common Soldiers, who have an Engine to convert Salt Water into Fresh, besides there is a South Block-House in this Citadel) and the New Cut for the Water to flow near it, both for its greater Ornament and stronger Defence.

Second. The Low-Gate, which leads from the End of Salt-House-Lane to a large Opening, antiently called High-Gate, but now better known, for its never-ending Commodities, by the Name of the Market-Place. Near which is the High-Church, or that dedicated to the Holy Trinity, of which I have already treated ; the East Part, or glorious Window of it particularly, casts a venerable Figure this Way. But, to explain the Plan, according to the Alphabet, the next Letter, I. denotes ROBINSON'S Row.
K. The South-End.
L. St. Mary's, (in Chapel-Lane aforesaid) called the Low-Church: The Patronage of which, perhaps, might anciently have belong'd to the before-mention'd Monastery of Carthusian Monks ; but is now in the Gift of Ellerker Bradshaw Esq ; and under the Jurifdiction of the Deanery of Harthill.
M. Billingsgate, which is nigh the Ropery.
N. A Clew, which lets in the Water, at the New-Cut, when it is full Tide.
O. Beverley Gate.
P. Myton Gate.
Q. The Dolphin, by which the Ships fail in, and out.
R. Low Water Mark in Humber.
S. The North-Gate.
T. The Fish-Shambles.
V. Grimsby-Lane ; which is between Church-Lane and Black-Fryer-Gate, when you enter into it from the High-Street : From hence you may go either to the Market-Cross ; or, by other Ways, which are called Dirty Alleys, be led to the Fish-Shambles.
W. Little-Lane, that leads from Black-Fryer-Gate towards the Ropery.
X. The Land of Green-Ginger.
Y. The Dirty Alleys, before mention'd. Hessle Gate, now clos'd up, as useless.

a. The Butchery
b. Finkhill-Street.
marked with star top left * The Sugar- House built in 1731, 74 Foot high, with 138 Windows, 79 Foot in Length, and 46 in Breadth.

The Reader may perceive other Places, beside those specified in the Alphabet, mention'd more fully in the Plan.

Third Silver-street : With Lanes, Alleys, &c. As, Bowl-Alley ; White-Fryer-Gate; Trinity-House-Lane, not far from Priests or Canon-Row ; Church-Lane, or Side, in ancient Writings, called New-Kirk-Lane, in order to distinguish it from that prior to it, then well known by the Name of the Old, as it is now for that of Postern-Gate. On the South Side of the

Church is Vicar-Lane, which leads to Myton-Gate; and from this last, you go, thro' Finkhill Street, to Blanket-Row. Other Places are Fish-Street, near Robinson's-Row ; Dagger-Lane, Sewer-Lane, &c. The Form of their Situation is more easily seen, and understood by the Plan, as I mention'd before, to which I now entirely refer the reader.
