Ryland Street and Grosvenor Street West

[Strawberry Hunter]

My relation lived in Ryland Place,
Ryland Street in approximately 1910 to 1920.

It doesn't look like there is a single old building in Ryland Street nowadays. I can find an old building in Grosvenor Street West. A ghost sign on the building states the word 'brass'.

What would that factory have been? Also is a map available for around that era please?
