Wood Street crops up in Anne Halkett’s account of the (future) James II’s escape from St James’s Palace, during the Civil War. She writes of “having sent for a Wood-street cake (which I knew he loved)”. Does anyone know whether “Wood-street cake” was a specific recipe, or whether the street was known for its bakeries?
