If you want to look at earlier London street names, see Elmes' Topographical Dictionary of London from 1831, Lockie's Topography of London from 1810 or Stow's Remarks on London from 1722. If you still can't find the place you are seeking, try London Streets lost to the Blitz, covering the whole of the London Postal Area. Errata Errors discovered since the publication of this book are shown below. They are corrected as soon as they are found. Previous purchasers can ask for a free updated version at any time. 07/06/2014 - Monro Terrace NW6 wrongly recorded as Monroe Terrace. A note about the size of this eBook This is a very large eBook. If printed it would occupy almost exactly 1,000 pages of A4. There was a prominent warning here to the effect that it might work slowly on some older eReaders. As no purchaser has yet reported this I have removed it. However, if you do experience such a problem let me know what eReader you have and I will send you a two-volume version instead. Volume 1 sorted only old-to-new and Volume 2 sorted only new-to-old. This is not quite so convenient, but splitting the book into two parts makes each work faster. |
