The street eventually became #KannengeterStrate in the 16th C, after the #tinsmiths or #pewterers (see #Tina), gradually climbing the social (and financial) ladder to silver for brooches, ouches (perhaps #ettekenmakeren, see #Ehte), and similar embossed work and thence to
#Trades #Kaubandused

Street first recorded in 1339 as #PlateaFabrorum, then #smedestrate (1362) and #smitdestrate (1363), all Smith Street, continuing the tradition through the 16th C with #kannengeterstrate (also used for #Kullassepa for a while) or #tinngeterstrate, both meaning #pewterer or #tinsmith street,
