Holborn
Holborn is a district in central London, currently covering part of the modern borough of Camden and of the Ward of Farringdon Without in the City of London (London, England). In the 19th century it was associated with the legal profession and the site of the Inns of Court and the Inns of Chancery, as well as the jewellery district of Hatton Garden (LINK).
In London Labour and the London Poor edition:
Phase 1
A Visit to the Rookery of St. Giles and its Neighbourhood. (Volume 4): "The most of the low girls in this locality do not go out till late in the evening, and chiefly devote their attention to drunken men. They frequent the principal thoroughfares in the vicinity of Oxford Street, Holborn, Farringdon Street, and other bustling streets."
London Considered as a Great World. (The Great World of London): "If then, by some volcanic convulsion - some subterranean quake and explosion - the earth were suddenly to burst, like a mundane bomb, and, being shattered into a score or two of terroid fragments, the great Metropolis were to be severed from the rest of the globe, London is quite large enough to do duty as a separate world, and to fall to revolving by itself about the sun - with Hampstead and Sydenham for its north and south poles, doomed alike to a six months' winter - with the whole line of Oxford Street, Holborn, and Cheapside, scorching under the everlasting summer of what would then be the metropolitan torrid zone, and whilst it was day at Kensington, night reigning at Mile End."
