Perkins & Powell

Whilst reading my grandfathers enlistment papers I found that in 1909 he was working for a company named Perkins and Powell, Brass Casters, of Bartholomew Road, Vauxhall. I've done searches on the internet for this company but can't even find a Bartholomew Road. Could it possibly be Bartholomew Street and if so would that have been Vauxhall in 1909? Can anyone on the forum enlighten me please?
 
2,3,4,5 Bartholemew Row is shown in red on this c1927 map. In order to show you the position, the blue building is the frontage of Curzon St station, though part of this has now been demolished .

Thanks to Pedrocut and Sospiri for the newspaper clippings and Mike for the map and exact location, brilliant all of you.
