Su,
Surrey St. was between Suffolk St and Kent St., which was off St. James St.,
and was a continuation of Grenville St.
Surrey St and Upper Surrey St were divided by Kent Square. Ref Edwardian
A-Z circa 1908.
There was a St. Michaels Church in Upper Pit St. which is close by and
another church in Pitt St. (can't find name).
Regards, Jim P.
