Further to the correspondence on Gt Queen St, does anyone who how I can
find
the geographical whereabouts of Peppercroft St, Gravesend in 1854? I have
the records, its just that it does not appear to exist today. Any suitable
maps on the web?

Try _www.old-maps.co.uk_ (http://www.old-maps.co.uk) and do a co-ordinate
search using 564805,173777 . Choose Kent and you will get a map dated 1869
centred on Peppercroft Street. (If you choose Essex instead of Kent you get a
map dated 1874.) These are the first series of the 25-inch (?) Ordnance Survey
maps so you are unlikely to get a more detailed map produced earlier.

You can just zoom in and look at it on the screen, but choose Enlarged Map
and, when the map has downloaded, right-click on the map and save the picture
to your PC. You can then open it in a graphics package and manipulate and
print to your hearts content.

If you put the same co-ordinates into Streetmap (_www.streetmap.co.uk_
(http://www.streetmap.co.uk) ) you will get a current street map with an arrow
pointing to where Peppercroft Street used to be.
