Winetavern Street came into existence around 1845/50. By the mid-1960’s it had become part of an inner-city area (with Gresham Street, Smithfield and King Street) which included terrace houses, a range of second-hand shops together with specialist shops selling jewellery, records, books, religious ephemera and (famously) pets.
