Detail from the Large scale Ordnance Survey map of Pentonville 1871 (3) showing the site of Craxford's greengrocery store (8, Suffolk Street)
LEFT: This detailed view taken from the Charles Booth's Descriptive Maps of London Poverty (East and West) shows the area around the Pentonville Road in 1889. Suffolk Street lies just to the west of the central join between Chapel Street and White Lion Street. Also noted to the north are Copenhagen Street and Pulteney Street mentioned in the main article.
RIGHT: Facing pages from Charles Booth's notebook describing Suffolk Street. He has mistakenly placed Suffolk Place on the west side of the street and has corrected this in the annotation. There is a word crossed out which does appear to be Craxfords.
