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, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
