History

In 1396 the south side of the street was called the Women's Market. Also it was referred to as Cuckstool Row; presumably the storage place for the town ducking stool. The name of Poultry emerged about 1800. [2]

Hen Cross

The Hen Cross stood just within the top of the Poultry, close by the junction of Victoria Street, High Street, Bridlesmith Gate, Cheapside and Poultry. It was the cross of the Poultry Market and is first mentioned in local records in 1416. [3]
