tozzin Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've just been looking through Slater's 1847 directory of important towns, and a couple of items made me think where is this, this is the entry; LANCET & FLEAM MAKERS. Burwick Samuel, 86 Spring st Dungworth .John. Cabbage alley Ellis Joseph, 41 Spring st Gregory George, Bailey lane Griffiths Robert, Monmouth st Hemsoll Joseph, Pond st Howard .John, 5 Love st Hutchinson Wm. & Henry, 76 Norfolk st Johnson George & Co. 13 Porter st Kitchen Richard, Earl st Rodgers Joseph & Sons, 6 Norfolk st Saynor Samuel N. Sons, 13 Edward st Unwin & Rodger's, 23 Burgess st Now where was Cabbage Alley? I also noticed that the St, Rd, Lane or Alley always starts in a lower case. Second query: FEMALE PENlTENTIARY, Victoria st, now I never knew of this place, I've also come across under Screw Manufacturers, Sarah Gibson Watering Lane, now is this just mis-spelt instead of Water Lane or was there an actual Watering Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
