"LIME-ST.-WARD is a small ward, named from Lime-street. It is bounded on the north and east by Aldgate ward, on the south by Langbourn ward, and on the west by Bishopsgate ward. It is observable that there is no church, nor entire parish or street in this ward, though it runs through several parishes. Its principal buildings are the East India House and Leadenhall-market. It is divided into four municipal precincts, and is governed by an alderman (Charles Farebrother, Esq.), four common-councilmen, and other ward officers." [J. Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) -transcribed by Gareth Hicks]
