Cato Street

Hi, my great great grandma lived at 78 cato street north on the 1891 census. Has anyone got any photos of the street around that time?
Hi Bethan. My grandfather's family live at 85 in 1881! Fair chance they knew each other. Job and Caroline Whitehouse. Do you know much about what the neighborhood was like back then?
 
This map from c1887 shows the part of Cato Street where I think 85 was.
In the 1883 directory 85 is listed next to St Anne's church. On a later map it is marked next to an empty space where St Anne's church was.
