A mantle was apparently a sleeveless coat. For more information, you could send an e-mail to history at thesohosociety*org*uk |

Beat you Elly! The 1882 Post Office directory says 22, 23 and 24 were John White, Mantle wa I don't know what the 'wa' stands for - any idea? Despite my earlier message it looks like it does match the present address. It was two doors along from the Argyll Arms and the present Argyll Arms is number 18, so we have a match. For anybody who knows Oxford Street, One of the exits to Oxford Street Station is in Argyll Street and as you come up the steps the Argyll is facing you, so number 22 is on the left. |

Argyll Street is of course the street where the London Palladium stands. Don't forget that streets have often been renumbered in the past so your best bet will be the Historical Directories site. |

See if you can find a trade directory covering the relevant period, and search for the address: http://www.historicaldirectories.org |

Hi I have a relative who gave birth to her child in the Westminster Union Workhouse in 1881. The information given in the records shows that she was a servant, admitted from 6 Golden Square (in labour) and gave her abode as 22 Argyll Street, London. After doing an address search of the 1881 census I have found both addresses. The Golden Square address would seem to have been her lodgings. 22 Argyll Street is recorded as 22-24 Argyll Street and seems to have been some fashion/clothing business. Does anyone know what the business would have been called or how I might find out? Thanks. |
