After contemplating this spectacle for some time, Charles roused himself from the state of stupefaction into which he was thrown, and determined, if possible, to arrest the further progress of the devouring element along the river-side, commanded all the houses on the west of Dowgate Dock to be instantly demolished.
"All taverns are alike to thirsty men," answered Rob. "Lead us where thou wilt; we'll speak our thanks under one signboard as well as another." "What say you then to the 'Silver Lion' in Dowgate?" "'Tis a good house." The party left the cathedral by the western door, went south through the churchyard, and out at the gate that led riverwards.
The area of London, at this early period, is supposed to have been bounded by to use their modern designation Tower Hill on the east, Dowgate Hill on the west, Lombard and Fenchurch Streets on the north, and of course the river on the south a limited area, certainly, not much exceeding half a mile in length by a quarter in breadth.
Dowgate, or Dowgate Ward, so called from the principal street, which has a steep descent or fall into the Thames, contains part of Thames Street, part of St.
Scouts were planted inside, to communicate with Cyprien, and messengers were despatched to cry "Clubs!" and summon the neighbouring 'prentices from Queenhithe, Thames Street, Trinity Lane, Old Fish Street, and Dowgate Hill; so that fresh auxiliaries were constantly arriving.

Four wards to build! why, my fortune is made!" He gave one quick look at Dinah, and then took her hand in his, all looking smilingly on the while.
On Dowgate Hill was another famous old house called the Erber which is, I suppose, the same word as Harbour. It belonged at successive periods to Lord Scroope, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Salisbury, and to George, Duke of Clarence. This house, too, perished in the Fire. In this street Sir Francis Drake lived, and here are now three Companies' Halls.
