Thanks, the chambers are certainly notable in their own right. I do have access to the BNA but had ignored it thus far as there were so many other sources. There is a lot to say about this street! Philafrenzy (talk) 12:10, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is really is an interesting street. I found lots of articles advertising free samples of dental cream from the street but I don't think that meets notability criteria! ツStacey (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On its own, no, but what was the context? Which establishment was offering dental services? These small things are often clues to something larger. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:43, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can find 'A. Wulfing & Co.' at no 12. offering free samples of Formamint (throat tablets) and Sanatogen (vitamins) - Though another link showed the company that produced these products as Genatosan Limited. Free samples of Kolynos from the same address. ツStacey (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
