Maidman's Row London.

That's a good find Peter. It's where I found Canal Street on the map I was looking at - and is not the same place as Maidman's Street.

Do you know what date your map is?

Hi Ruskie

The British Library link is here:-

The map appears to be from 1842, so a lot earlier than requested!

Thanks Peter. I thought your map was older.

I've been looking at maps from late 1800s but have only seen the road as Canal Road.

Not sure if this link will work:

Found it as Maidman's R on Cross's 1851 plan of London.

(it's on the 'join' of the maps though unfortunately)

That looks pretty conclusive that Maidman's Row became Canal Road at some point

A very big thanks to everyone who helped - and so quickly too.

Yes, but many years before Elizabeth's reference to it in 1910 and only the very northern end. The rest of the road was Canal Road (or Street). I'd be interested to know a bit more about Maidman's Row - it's a shame there is no street view for 19th century maps.
