Photo added[edit]

I have removed the "Photo required" tag - not that my photographic effort shown here is very inspiring, unfortunately. The road was being dug up in several places on the day of my visit, and in an effort to get the street name sign in, I appear to have included rather a lot of that ugly building on the right. Please feel free to replace this with something a bit better! Hassocks5489 21:08, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, what stands 220 feet away?[edit]

Quiz night question was what stands on the exact site of the start of the Great Fire of London? Of course the answer is not The Monument - it is 220 feet away, so what stands in place of the bakery today?

The answer is a building called Faryners House

Origin of the name[edit]

I don't quite understand how the source says that the "pudding" would "fall from carts"; the source says "and their puddinges with other filth of Beastes, are voided downe that way to theyr dung boates on the Thames". Where does "fall from carts" come from? --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 19:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Offal Pudding Lane[edit]

If any one wishes to know how I got that the original name of this lane was Offal Pudding Lane, it was something I heard on Brain of Britain on February 4 2013. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Mark Twain's book "The Prince and the Pauper," Tom Canty lives on "Offal Court, off Pudding Lane." 173.174.85.204 (talk) 12:18, 2 September 2016 (UTC)Eric[reply]
