Strype Street (Formerly Strype's Yard) derives its name from the fact that the house of John Strype silk merchant was situated there.~~~ At that house was born in 1643 his son John Strype, historian & biographer who died in 1737.
Lost to demolition around 2004. Affixed to a relatively modern building (Strype Street and Leyden Street were laid out in 1899-1904 on part of what had been the Halifax estate) It closely resembled the white rectangular plaque commemorating Bow Street erected the same year.
Plaque is now missing
