Talk:Chenies Street

British Newspaper Archives

Hello, I've found some sources that might be of interest; If you don't have access to the archive (it lets you have 10 free views) let me know and I might be able to email a copy over.

• Description of ladies chambers - Including description of type of woman they were wanting (not 'decayed gentlewoman'! Haha)
• Death of painters sister - The sister of George Morland lived on the street (that probably isn't notable but the inquest was held at the Goat tavern on the street which might be worth research?
• Fire on the street - Damaged a number of buildings in 1861
• Bloomsbury Rifles Amateur dramatics - Probably not notable but very interesting - A 1895 performance showing their view of an Ethiopian plantation.
• Author stayed at Ladies Dwellings - Olive Schreiner stayed on the street to finish her novel.
• Opening of Polyclinic - Opened by Sir William Broadbent

Thanks, the chambers are certainly notable in their own right. I do have access to the BNA but had ignored it thus far as there were so many other sources. There is a lot to say about this street! Philafrenzy (talk) 12:10, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

It is really is an interesting street. I found lots of articles advertising free samples of dental cream from the street but I don't think that meets notability criteria! ツStacey (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

On its own, no, but what was the context? Which establishment was offering dental services? These small things are often clues to something larger. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:43, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I can find 'A. Wulfing & Co.' at no 12. offering free samples of Formamint (throat tablets) and Sanatogen (vitamins) - Though another link showed the company that produced these products as Genatosan Limited. Free samples of Kolynos from the same address. ツStacey (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
