Tilehouse Street runs across the end of Sun Street and Bucklersbury. At its lower (southeastern) end, it becomes Bridge Street.
At the upper end of the street is the Cooper's Arms.
This medieval building is said to have been the Tylers' (brickmakers') Guildhall, from which the street takes its name.
All manner of fanciful stories are attached to it: a bricked-up tunnel is said to lead to the Priory & spectral monks are supposed to frequent the place.
Where Sun Street joins Tilehouse Street stands the entrance to the grounds of the Priory.
The Priory was a Carmelite monastery until its dissolution in the 1530s. The buildings were purchased by the Delme-Radcliffes who lived there until 1964.
During their residence, in 1770, Robert Adam was commissioned by them to redesign the Priory in the new classical style of the period. The rebuilding proved very costly, but was nevertheless completed in 1777. Since 1964 the Priory has served as the offices of an insurance company.
Southeast of here, Tilehouse Street becomes Bridge Street and runs on to Queen St.
It passes over the River Hiz (hence the name of the road). The bridge is very low as it replaces an earlier ford.
