8 Eagle Court, Clerkenwell, London, EC1M 5QD History of Eagle Court

Formerly known as Vinegar Yard, Eagle Court was infamous for the site of “The Bailiff of Eagle House” which was demolished in the 1640’s. Re-development began between 1680 and 1720 when there was a migration of wealthy residents which came from the West End of London employing the builder Richard Frith, best known for his work in Soho. This period of re-develop saw the area become a centre of printing, brewing, jewellery and Clock making for which its location was ideal, being so close to The City.

In 1874 Edward Robert Robson was appointed as the Chief Architect for the new London School Board and was commissioned to design the Eagle Court School, which is now a Grade II listed building. Work is currently underway to further re-development this building to a centre for the jewellery, silversmithing and allied trades and will be open to the general public as a unique space offering workshops, fully equipped training areas, conference and exhibition space.
