The street originally ran behind the shops on London Road to the right from York Hill to Cheapside though the latter part to the immediate south was closed off to enable some of the larger stores to extend further back. St Bartholomews reputed to have been built to the same dimensions as Noah's ark provides the backdrop. See http://www.regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume10a/source/jg_10a_083.html for an image taken at roughly the same spot in 1964.
