Richard,

This from the Weekly Herald 5th October 1888.

THE MITRE SQUARE CRIME.

Mitre Square is a sort of huge yard about 120 feet square, and there are three entrances to it, the principal being from Mitre Street; which is broad enough to accomodate two vehicles abreast. There is also a short, covered court, about 20 yards long, leading into St. James's Place, another square, popularly known as the "Orange Market," in the centre of which is a public convenience, a street fire station consisting simply of a waggon on wheels, and also a permanent street fire station in course of erection.

It kinda ties in with Robs image he has provided.

Also, as an idea, Ive posted images Jakey did some time ago.
