Hello Listers

Maureen mentioned Prisoms Island - I had maternal ancestors living
in Prusom (note sp.) Prusom street, Shadwell which is still there in
part and may be found on today's London A-Z. In Victorian times it
was just off Wapping High Street and Wapping Wall. Prusom's Island
was adjacent. My 1854 gazetteer mentions the Island but only shows
the street on the map!

Regards to all
