When we weren't even named Temple...

Back in the early days of the development of the Street, it wasn't known as Temple Street at all – a map from 1830, just as the street was first being developed, shows it called Bedford Square Road, which was cut in half by Western Road and carried on south to Bedford Square itself.
Early days, and just a small clutch of houses have been built on the East Side of what was to become Temple Street
