I gave this info earlier to our friend Bridge on the 1798 Map Thread.

Arthur's Lane pre 1798 later became Golden Lane From Sir Thos. Arthur, lessee from the Earl of Longford, of the Whitefriars estate.
Called Maiden Lane, 1766.

hi damntheweather - arthurs lane was not golden lane - you are right it was originally called maiden lane in the early 1700's and called arthurs lane after thomas arthurs a doctor from limerick, i think. but golden lane was there long before that. golden lane originally called crosse lane, is still there and no it does not look like it did all of the tenements are gone, there are new houses there and the radisson hotel and fancy office blocks and apartments. arthurs lane was demolished in 1970's and when new houses were built there it was renamed john field road after the composer john field who was born in nearby golden lane.
