Kloksteeg in the records

A street beside De Groene Poort

In 1611 Jean de Lalaing sold De Groene Poort on the south side of the Pieterskerkhof, near the Kloksteeg, to John Robinson and fellow buyers. A 1617 agreement later places Thomas Brewer in the Kloksteeg and Jonathan Brewster at De Groene Poort.
