(Note: The sketch is of North Corner only, but Cannon Street, in 1919, extended further than North Corner - it continued eastward cutting through Queen Street, past Jessamine Lane, then cutting through King Street, then Morice Street, ending at Marlborough Street - therefore, everything in red ink is not on the sketch)
* Walter as written in the directory, but it was an error of that period and should read Water.
