I did have a book on the names of the streets in the City, but could not put my hand on it to be honest.

I always thought Saffron Hill sounded nice though. :-)

Good old Google :-D :-D

What is the story behind the bleeding heart yard?

This is a cobbled yard in Holborn surrounded on most sides by old warehouse buildings and may have been named after an old pub, or a murder. The murder legend is that the yard's name commemorates the murder of Lady Elizabeth Hatton, the wife of Sir William Hatton, or maybe Elizabeth Hatton, Sir William's daughter.12 Dec 2022
