Moorfields in 1676, as depicted on Ogilby and Morgan's map of London, including the re-sited Bethlem Hospital. The city wall and the Moorgate are clearly visible, and some of the administrative boundaries are also shown.The Moorgate, last of the gates to be built in London's wall, took its name from the adjacent Moorfields.
Moorfields was an open space, partly in the City of London, lying adjacent to – and outside – its northern wall, near the eponymous Moorgate. It was known for its marshy conditions, the result of the defensive wall acting as a dam, impeding the flow of the River Walbrook and its tributaries.[1]
Moorfields gives its name to the Moorfields Eye Hospital which occupied a site on the former fields from 1822–1899, and is still based close by, in the St Luke's area of the London Borough of Islington.[2]
