New John Street West and Great Russell Street

Sorry about that Lyn, it was your post on the other thread that led me to it. It was probably one of yours originally.

Now, i just have to narrow down which one was number 9 house... mid 1920's the address changed to 9 back of 359 so i favour the right hand side of court 47.
