Giltspur Street.
In Giltspur Street near the junction with Newgate Street is St. Sepulchre's Church with this Watch House attached. It was built to deter grave robbers who were rather prevalent in the 18th century as freshly dead bodies were in great demand for surgeons to practise on and fetched a high price.
