Title: Walpole Lane, Ely

Hmmm, can't seem to find this street on any map of Ely. Anyone happen to know where it is? According to the census it was in the parish of St Mary's.

I don't know when it changed but apparently it is now called Silver Street.

This article gives both names directly and you can gleam from other articles that it must be in the same place without actually knowing it is the same place if you follow

Yep, that's clear and definitive enough for me. Thanks.
