Milsom Street seems to have been the location of several libraries and reading-rooms in the C17 and C18, among them Godwin's, Tennent's, and Marshall's (whose subscribers included two princes, five dukes, four duchesses, seven earls, fourteen countesses, many other nobles and forty-three knights, and whose stock ran to 25,000 volumes), but I haven't ascertained whose premises these (at number 43) were. It is currently a clothes shop.
