Edwin Withers died in 1888 leaving his properties to his children. He owned Ravenhurst Street numbers 25-29. I presume he rented out each house to tenants. Any images of this end of Ravenhurst? The end nearer to Cheapside? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lyn, I seem to muddle Soho with every variety of street or hill or road over the years. So I'm not fussed too much with his various addresses. I agree his brewery may well be a long shot, Just hoping for an educated guess. His daughter, Fanny, married Walter Withers, the respected...
