Hi G

http://mapco.net/bart1908/bart38.htm

Just below "Click" where it says "Click The Image Below For An Enlarged View", Market Street ran W-E off Kerbey Street.

Looking at a modern-day map it appears to to be a western extension of Cordelia Street.

Kind regards
Gaie

If you are still looking for where Market Street is, here is an aerial photograph taken in 1946 http://prntscr.com/4b310t
The Old Red Lion pub stands on the right hand end of Market Street at it's junction with Kerby Street. My nan used to live almost opposite the pub as you can see here
