I've been doing something similar Viv.
I think this updated image shows the street numbering from an 1849 directory, and also where Bennett's Hill and Christchurch Passage were cut.
By that date the Panorama site had been taken over by the RBSA.
I wonder if the "scaffolding" shown on the left edge of the picture is from the construction of Christ Church ? .... according to Wikipedia, construction finished in 1816.
Happy to be corrected if I've misinterpreted.
