Monmouth Street

Monmouth Street may refer to:

  • A major thoroughfare in Red Bank, New Jersey
  • A street in Covent Garden, London, one of the constituents of Seven Dials
  • A street in 18th century London, consisting of the part of modern Shaftesbury Avenue between Charing Cross Road (then called Hog Lane) and St. Giles's High Street. In the 18th century, it was known for selling second-hand clothes; in John Gay's 1716 poem Trivia, or the Art of Walking in London, he refers to it as "Thames-street gives Cheeses; Covent-garden Fruits; / Moor-fields old Books; and Monmouth-street old Suits."

Famous quotes containing the word street:

    I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
