Edmund St is one of those streets that have been split , had parts called different names and then joined together again. In the 1870s up to 1878:
the listing in New Edmund St (earlier it was Edmund St) was: 7 Barrs Wm. & Son, mnfrs. of umbrella ribs, stretchers &c. (Ship works).
In 1879 no 7 was not listed . then in 1880 new Edmund and Edmund Streeet were amalgamated, and a large number of the businesses (though not all) immediately surrounding no 7 disappeared. As no decent map is available for the perood, it is not possible to completely nail down exactly where the building was, except to say it was on the north side of Edmund St between NewHall St and Congeve St, and I would guess, though I can’t be absolutely certain, that it was between Newhall St and what later became Margaret St
