James
Parkinson
lived at 1 Hoxton Square, which is
the end house in the south west of the square. The short road leading out
of the square on the north east is
MundayStreet. The present
34 Hoxton
Street, the only surviving part of Hoxton House asylum, was
built on
the site of the Jews Burial Ground. It may mark the southern limit of the
asylum at its greatest extent. On this map, Hoxton House is shown as far
north as The Pimlico, which is the site the Britannia Theatre was
built on in 1858. The plaque for the Britannia Theatre is opposite 74
Hoxton Street.
This section from
Greenwood's 1830
map
shows
Whitmore (Balms or Baume's)
House,
Warburton's house for rich patients. De Beavoir Town now occupies the site,
but the name Whitmore Road, Downham Road and Dunston Road remain
