Great, Diana!
Thanks for that, indeed. A great help for us non-Londoners, I believe. I'll bookmark it immediately.
Thanks again.
All the best

Hi Diana
Am I missing something? The two biggies in Ripper research are Buck's Row, now Durward Street, and Berner Street, modern-day Henriques Street. However, unless I have not seen them, both these streets seem to be missing from this this listing. 
All my best

Hi Chris,
I just recently noticed this as well.
Doesen't they apply to "Inner London"?
I thought that was strange as well...

Hi Diana
There are two George Yards but not the one of interest to us: George Yard of 1888 is now Gunthorpe Street.
All the best

Hi all
I find this web site comes in handy http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/ There is a list of Victorian street names.
