Buckingham Street

The 'A' suffix, being something new, was not issued by all licensing areas. I believe it was so by the time 'B' was issued in 1964.

I've been doing Family History and found the will of Joseph Tandy who lived at1 Buckingham Street at the time of his death in 1855. He was a silver pencil case maker. His will was signed by clerk Josiah Allport who was at 46 Buckingham Street. Does anyone have any maps or information about Buckingham Street at that time?

I really miss those 1950s maps that have been taken off the Old Maps site.

I couldn't agree more. So frustrating not to have numbers on houses.

...but how similar it was in 1855 to the this and the above maps I don't know. Here is a map from 1839...

I have posted on another thread that I have been told that, eventually, NLS will be including these. They will be new scans, so possibly the bad quality in some areas will be improved
