As some of the street names given in the preceding directory of 1824 have been long since relegated to obscurity, the present generation will be interested to know that the primitive names of Back Street, Guttle Street, and Pye Lane (Devereux Lane), are now respectively called George's Street, John Street, and Lower Church Street ; whilst Barrack Street and St. Mary's Street are known as the Old Barracks and Mary's Lane. Slaney Street, as at present, was formerly known as Barrack lane, and Friary Lane is now glorified into Friary Place,though another name was Cooper’s Lane.
