"Maiden Lane" is also known as "Mayden Lane". First published in The English Dancing Master first edition (1651) as "Mayden Lane", it was retained through the 10th edition of 1698, with the title spelling changed to "Maiden Lane" with the 5th edition of 1675. The Maiden Lane section of London, near Covent Garden and the River Thames, has been alternately a diminished, dissolute area, and one of high fashion - sometimes at the same time. In Playford's day it was the dowdy site of "mean houses", but by Georgian times, elegant properties were constructed whose garden walls outlined the lane and formed the southern boundary of architect Inigo Jones's proposed Italianate Piazza. It was also printed in Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909). It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master by The Telemann Society.
