The Lorteburn or Langbourne is a lost stream or river, which ran in the east of the City of London, arising near to Aldgate, flowing south near to the Tower of London, and discharging into the River Thames. The stream appears to have been covered over or dry by the early 14th century [1] but its course has been discovered during archaeological digs in the area [1] and the watershed can be traced in the street level contours of that part of the city as mapped by Kelsey in 1841. [2] The stream gave its name to the Langbourn ward of the city. The river is seldom included on maps or lists of London's lost rivers, and its existence is denied by Nicholas Barton, in his 1962 book Lost Rivers of London, [3] but in more recent work David Bentley argues for its existence.

We are particularly fortunate in having wide road verges with both trees and grass giving such a pleasant aspect to the estate.

Plot-owners and Camden contribute approximately 50% each to the Estate’s income, and accounts are circulated at each of the Committee’s AGMs.

The John Stowe's 1598 Survey of London records the street name Sharebourne Lane and attributes its origin to the dividing of the stream at this point. Henry Harben's 1918 Dictionary of London [8] asserts that Stowe's explanation "must be left out of account as a possible derivation, inasmuch as it ignores the earliest forms of the name to be found." It goes on to list "Shitteborwelane," "Shiteburn lane," "Shiteb(ur)uelane" and "Shiteburlane as forms of the name recorded around 1300 AD. Harben goes on to state that:N.W. range extends to fill the N. and W. corners of the otherwise octagonal plan. The former coach-house, in the W. corner,
