It states Freeman & Hildyard, Dover Road. I could be wrong on this, but I believe people at that time, c1885 still called Great Dover Street, Dover Road. In fact, the address of the company was 27 Great Dover Street, they also had a place in Globe Street.
- Great Dover Street, Freeman & Hildyard, baking powder manufacturers.

Haddonhall Street, which is no longer there, ran through to Rephidim Street. Most of this area has all disappeared with the building of the flyover. I would just like to add that on some maps from Tower Bridge Road to Prioress Street this part is shown as the Old Kent Road.
- Great Dover Street SE1,1964. Haddonhall Street is opposite and Knox's funeral parlour is on the corner behind the open back lorry.
