The junction Hockley Street & Great Hampton Street

[RichSmith]

I’m trying to identify photographs of the Great Hampton Street / Hockley Street junction c.1895–1905, specifically the corner occupied by Joseph Hinks’ Patent Duplex / Crystal Lamp Works (91–96 Great Hampton Street / 66 Hockley Street).


I’ve identified the corner lamp post marked L.P. beside B.M. 433.7 on OS Sheet XIII.4.20.


Does anyone know of period photographs showing:

• the Hinks corner
• Great Hampton Street approaching Hockley
• Hockley Street looking north toward Great Hampton Street
• the junction streetscape / gas lamps / tram infrastructure?

Thanks in advance

Have you seen this 1855 map? but I think it only shows a sewer grating and perhaps not the period you're interested in.
