FLEET RIVER, a stream of Middlesex. It rises about 5 miles N of Kentish-town and St. Pancras; runs under Fleet-market, and across the lower end of Fleet-street, to the Thames, near Blackfriars-bridge; and, like several other streams passing through the metropolis, is arched over throughout the lower part of its conrse. It was made navigable for small craft to Holborn-bridge in 1502, and was arched over in 1734-7.
