Does anyone know what this street name in Clerkenwell (1829) would be?
Cob.....?
-
And also this one in 1825.
Thank you
-
If you are asking about the words to the right of Delasalle and Rathbone, then they are cut off by black lines, or is that the reason you are asking what they may be?
Just re read your question and see that you are asking for suggestions.
-
The first one will be Coburg (or Cobourg) Street.
The second one Is probably either Plumber Street or Plumber(s) Place
-
Just check the next images
-
Ah! Thank you
-
Jools are you still in need of some help? I've just viewed this item and I can give you a lead on 'Rosomans.............' if required.
-
Thanks, Copper1. What you got? :)

The title Rosoman/Rosoman's features several times in the book mentioned below - now out-of-print, but an invaluable item for researcher's seeking Islington history. It is an A-Z anthology of streetname titles.
However as for the title shown in your document, as reported in a fine publication "Streets with a story; Islington", Eric Willats [Principal Librarian at Islington] pub 1986 by I.L.E.T (a council body) - 'Rosoman's Buildings c.1770. By 1878 were nos 19-24 Islington Green.
I can recommend an excellent publication from https://alangodfreymaps.co.uk/ who reprinted OS map 1871 Clerkenwell/The Angel Sheet No 50 which clearly shows Islington Green (off centre top R). They post RM 24 often same day.
Your enquiry mentions no date to accompany the document which might aid any future search of census records.

That's great. Thank you ;D

As a further pointer the indexed properties for Rosoman Buildings in 1871 are enumerated as:-
RG10/280, Folios 42-44.
My previous mention indicates re-numbering of properties took place by the time of the 1881 census.

At the foot of the map is "New River Head" (marked in blue). Below are "Up Rosama. S" and "Rosama. P".

Western edge of map, "Rosama. P" now showing as "Hardwick Street"?

1817 map

The "Rosama" area appears undeveloped.

The aforementioned Willats' oracle mentions each 'Rosoman/Rosoman's' namings but the streets, Upper & Lower at first, whilst lying adjacent to Roseberry Avenue near the former Family History Centre(Myddleton Street) were about a mile south of the "Rosoman Buildings" at Islington Green. They would prove a distraction from the address in the image provided by JoolsAnn.
