Where was White Street?

[Bulldog]

I used the 1900 Street Map of London which I downloaded from:

http://londonpublichouse.com/MapsofLondon.shtml

Sadly, it has no street index.

That web site is a good source for maps and other interesting information.

The Godfrey maps are great but Alan is against anyone copying his works!! He is a noce bloke though and if you email the company he will contact you direct.

Excellent, Mike. Thank you!

I use Godfrey Editions "Whitechapel, Spitalfields and the Bank" from 1873 and 1894.
I also have Godfrey Editions covering all of Kingston upon Hull for differing periods.
Whilst in Islington I picked up Highbury and Islington 1871/1894/1914 and Upper Holloway for the same periods, these are for my research into Stephenson.

Almost like a name known among the local populace but never officially labled in such a way.
Hull has High Street which was split in two to make way for Alfred Gelder Street. The smaller length was officially named "Little High Street" but is known locally as High Street still.

There are some streets named on maps but also known locally by other names due to the names of pubs or types of workplace that originated there.

That's what I was wondering. If you look at the Gen Docs site, the street index shows a fair number of White Streets, just not quite in the right area. There's one at Bethnal Green Road. (or there was in 1871 and 1888) There was one in the City, at Cripplegate Without.

What map/maps are you all using for the JTR era? Sounds like a composite of different ones. I've been using those on the Vict. Dict. site. and what I've been able to find on this site.

Sorry- where were we....and more to the point where was/is White Street?

[Suzi]

Isn't Coke Street were Danielle Westbrook used to live?

and of course that must be 'Thumbs up for Len' Fairclough Street AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! NO!!

H e he half heartedly...or half nasally I may have to agree!

[Suzi]

Interesting stuff here...found this one though on my trawls which could explain it all!!!


Seriously quick getaway!!! and a damned good 'disguise'...just posin' for a Marc Chagal paintin' mister! Otherwise known as ' Inapropriateman is inapropriate !'..or 'One Legged Man hops it with willing Floosie over the rooftops of London's East End' !--- clumsy but oddly (!) accurate!!

Or-Supergirl's 1888 early trials went badly wrong- but when the killer shoes got too close for comfort she remained calm!!

LOL

Hi all
It's unmarked here... oddly ...but in the same place!! (From Phillips (not Philip's) Street Atlas London)

I wondered, Mike and Suzi, if it was mislabeled, (as I thought it was Row) on the the 1871 map. I wonder if it ever was White St? The Pocket Atlas, from the Dictionary of Vict. London, shows it as Row, which is why I came back to this thread. :-) I thought maybe the witness knew it as White St.

Thank you!

[Suzi]

Hi Celesta-
That is White's Row sadly not White St- These days the other side of the unspeakable Car park!

Hi Celesta, My 1873 map shows this street as now being "White's Row", which was also going by the same name in the 1894 map of the area.

The plot thickens.....
