John Newbery does not appear to have remained long at “The Bible and Crown, near Devereux Court, without Temple Bar,” for the last advertisement from that address appears in The Penny London Post, July 24th, 1745; and the first from the “Bible and Sun, near the Chapter House, in St Paul's Church-yard,” in The General Evening Post, Aug. 6, 1745.

Devereux Court was too far west, and the Royal Exchange too far east for the successful prosecution of his affairs, and accordingly Newbery consolidated his two establishments at St Paul's Churchyard, which was at that time, as now, an important business centre, and long famous as a resort of publishers, all of whom, in the lapse of years, have disappeared from this spot with the exception of the successors of the Newberys.

The house which John Newbery occupied was “over against the north door of the cathedral,” and was at the “corner of Pissing (now named Canon) Alley,” “near the bar,” as it has been variously described. This was, subsequently, when the streets of London were first numbered (according to Cunningham, in 1764-66), known as number 65. It was not until after John Newbery's death in 1767 that Francis Newbery, his nephew, who had been previously issuing books from Paternoster Row, went to 20 Ludgate Street—the corner of St Paul's Churchyard—where the business was continued by his widow, and afterwards by Harris and his successors.
