    Found it!!!! It backs onto White's Row, can't see Tenter Court, but Tenter Road is clearly visible.

    But the site won't let me post the map, but trust me it's there lol.

    And, perhaps disappointingly, perhaps not, one of the businesses which seems to have sprung up on the Spitalfields tenters' grounds is a barbershop called "Jack the Clipper"... http://www.jacktheclipper.co.uk/

    Thanks Ginge, so it would seem that the area has long gone and been redeveloped.
    Given that the tenters' trade involved large tracts of open ground in the middle of the city, I'd expect nothing else.

    Google comes through: https://maps.google.com/maps?safe=of...classic&dg=brw



    Edit: Actually, this result seems more relevant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenterground There were apparently a number of Tenter streets.
