enhanced copy of the original drawing from 1840 (most likely by E. B. Lamb) of the proposed entrance
at Harriet Street, which gives a clear indication that building plans
were already being submitted for the building of Harriet Street by 1840.
Note also the spelling of Harriett Street (double 't'), which differs
from the present day spelling.
Harriet Street is named after Edward Strutt's wife Harriet Strutt. |
