I just checked the 1862 map on MOTCO and found Moss Alley and Pitts Place, but not Taylors Yard or Noah's Ark Alley. There are a number of short unnamed roads/lanes around Moss Alley which might be the ones that you're looking for, or perhaps the map is simply too old. Still, you might want to take a look and get a feel for the general area. If you go to the MOTCO main page, click on 'MAPS - REFERENCE DATABASE', then choose 'London and Its Suburbs 1862', and click on 'ROAD & STREET INDEX' in the left-hand frame (this takes a minute or two to load, even with broadband). There are two Sumner Streets listed (as well as two Summer Streets) - choose the one that has '(16,14)' after the name. When the image loads, you should see Moss Alley in the upper left area of the map, just east of Love Lane. Pitts Place crosses Moss Alley at right angles. Enjoy - Tim |

Well, as Booth says, lots of alleys and courts. |
