As the maps of the city show, the Danish wall formed a triangle. It ran from Reginald’s Tower to St. Martin’s Castle, the site of which is now the new laundry of the Lady Lane Convent, at the top of Spring Garden Alley, this being one side of the triangle. Standing on the top of Reginald’s Tower this wall may be observed at the back of the houses on the Mall, aiming towards the back portion of the City Hall, thence for Colbeck’s Gate, after which it runs between the lane known as Spring Garden Alley and Lady Lane, towards St, Martin’s Castle.(Submitted on June 21, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
