any photos of 51 rosamond st Clerkenwell london england 1800s

Question

My ggg grandfather a cheesemonger lived at this address in the 1800s

Answer 1

Rosamond Street was later renamed Rosoman Street, bombed in WW2 and now only numbers 63-71 remain after the layout of the place was redesigned many times since then.

This website has some images of the surroundings and general history but none of Rosoman Street itself. Furthermore, I doubt you'd be able to use them since they are probably copyrighted.

I cannot find any images of Rosoman Street taken pre-1971 but hope this was helpful.

The London Metropolitan archives have a picture collection and https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?key=SXsiUCI6eyJ2YWx1ZSI6InJvc2Ftb25kIiwib3BlcmF0b3IiOjEsImZ1enp5UHJlZml4TGVuZ3RoIjozLCJmdXp6eU1pblNpbWlsYXJpdHkiOjAuNzUsIm1heFN1Z2dlc3Rpb25zIjozLCJhbHdheXNTdWdnZXN0IjpudWxsfSwiRiI6ImV5SjBJanBiTVYxOSJ9&WINID=1633688769524#hUCyS-CaVFQAAAF8X3BElw/95138 this link is a picture of houses numbers 1-12.

This picture covers numbers 32-52  which must be the opposite side of the road! https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?key=SXsiUCI6eyJ2YWx1ZSI6InJvc29tb25kIiwib3BlcmF0b3IiOjEsImZ1enp5UHJlZml4TGVuZ3RoIjozLCJmdXp6eU1pblNpbWlsYXJpdHkiOjAuNzUsIm1heFN1Z2dlc3Rpb25zIjozLCJhbHdheXNTdWdnZXN0IjpudWxsfSwiRiI6ImV5SjBJanBiTVYxOSJ9&pg=4&WINID=1633688769524#hUCyS-CaVFQAAAF8X3BElw/65493
