Wendy Baron comments, 'The area which Sickert called 'La Halle au Lin' was renamed rue Ste Catherine in the early 19th century. Perhaps in earlier times there had been a flax market on the street. The cross (just visible in paintings of the South Façade of St Jacques) within the open space between the south-west corner of St Jacques and rue Ste Catherine marks the former cemetary' (see W. Baron, loc. cit, 2006).
