Illustration from “Cripplegate Ward” by J.J. Baddeley (1921), showing Milton Street, City of London, looking north with the Metropolitan Railway Bridge in the middle distance. On the other side of the bridge can be seen the sign of Tubbs Hiscocks and Co, 16-22 Milton Street, a textile manufacturing and wholesale business, founded in 1863. Baddeley’s description of the turning on the left being into Honeysuckle Square is confusing. According to Harben’s History of London, Honeysuckle Square (formerly Court) ran east out of Milton Street at number 47, extending to Moor Lane, which would require a turning to the right, albeit out of view relative to the picture. The court whose entrance is visible on the left is unnamed on the Ordnance Survey map of 1896. A carriage is in view in the foreground.
