	Holborn - LoveToKnow 1911
		The name of Holborn was formerly derived from Old Bourne, a tributary of the Fleet, the valley of which is clearly seen where Holborn Viaduct crosses Farringdon Street.
		The fall and rise of the road across the valley before the construction of the viaduct (1869) was abrupt and inconvenient.
		The better residential district of Holborn, which extends northward to Euston Road in the borough of St Pancras, is mainly within the parish of St George, Bloomsbury.

	Holborn (Pepys' Diary)
		Holborn (pronounced IPA: /ˈhoʊbən/ or /ˈhoʊbɜːn/ -- "ho bun") is an area of Central London, England, named after the Hole-bourne (the stream in the hollow) which flowed through the area from north to south, to the Thames.
		Holborn is also the name of the area's principal east-west street, which crosses over the river valley as Holborn Viaduct, straddling the borders of the London Borough of Camden, the City of Westminster and the City of London.
		In the early twenty-first century, Holborn has been the site of new offices and hotels, which have exploited its excellent public transport links (Holborn underground station is the junction of the Central and Piccadilly lines), and its strategic location between the City of London and the West End.

	Hog Lane, Whitechapel - Holborn Viaduct \| British History Online
		One of the boroughs in the County of London, outside the City boundary, extending from Holborn Circus to Tottenham Court Road, north to St. Pancras parish, and south to the City of Westminster.
		The history of the borough and of its early existence as a manor lies outside the scope of this work, but it may be interesting to note that it comprised one of the prebendal manors of St. Paul's, and the extensive possessions of the bishopric of Ely, known as Ely Place (q.v.).
		The Viaduct was formed across the Fleet valley to continue the main thoroughfare at one level and so do away with the steep ascents of Holborn and Snow Hills, which so seriously interfered with vehicular traffic.
