      Hi Chris - great stuff, but what year is this? I'd expect to see the Rothschild Building occupying a lot of the second picture. Also, Rob will be able to confirm this, but I have a feeling that they were renumbered at some point as well? I think The White House was at 56 F&D and on the map here, 56 is one of the smallest buildings, which would surprise me.

          I think Thrawl Street was renumbered in 1884. I have this on an old scrap of notes I made about street renamings years back.

          Could be wrong, mind

          PS, I have the full map on my computer and I'd post it if I could. Apparently my attachments are full.

            It was a map outlining improvements from 1876 as Chris says. Here's the bigger picture. It also shows potential slum clearance in George Yard.

              Actually, Philip, they were not !!!

              The Flower & Dean Street numbering remained intact to the end.

                I know it's an old post, but is there a better resolution the map that John's posted? I cannot read most of the labeling when I downloaded this one.
