W. J. Loftie, adding to the incomplete work of Sir Walter Besant, in The Fascination of London, published in 1903, takes a look at the Inns of Chancery:

The whole of this district abounds in these one-time Inns of Chancery, formerly attached to the Inns of Court; but those that remain are all now diverted to other uses, and some have vanished, leaving only a name.

Further on there is Furnival Street, lately Castle Street, and so marked in Strype's map.

The Castle Public-house still recalls the older name.

Tradesmen of every kind occupy the buildings, besides which there is a Baptist mission-house.

The buildings on the east side are of the old-fashioned style, dark brick with flat sashed windows.
