Rue d'Angleterre |
| When it is thus indicated in 1165 after the passage of St Thomas of Canterbury (French Cantorbéry), the street is only at the beginning of its history: on February 4, 1361, it becomes the street of Marthes, in remembering the hospital of the same name rested by Jean de Tourcoing and his wife Marie Of Wood, both resulting from the middle-class inhabitant of Lille. In April 1760, the establishment is moved with the hospital-general by an edict of Louis XV and in 1793 the street is called “Republicans”. Street Bonaparte since 1800, it takes again its name of origin on April 15, 1814. The street of England appears already in the castrum, which does of it one of the oldest streets of Lille. |
