<div>Endell Street was then a lower-class street, running north from Bow Street;
there was a charity school in Endell Street in 1914.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>From "Endell Street: The Trailblazing Women who Ran World War One's Most
Remarkable Military Hospital" (main title in US: "No Man's Land"):</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The hospital was set up in a former workhouse, “a forbidding five storey
hulk of four blocks ranged round a dingy courtyard. The only entrance was
a narrow lane off the upper end of Endell Street squeezed between a public wash
house and a church. Emerging from this dark tunnel... the courtyard was
divided by iron railings into sections, much like animal pens, where the
workhouse inmates had until recently exercised.” (p. 98)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are able to expand the 1914 map, you will see clearly the details as
described; the Royal Opera House is towards the bottom of the map.</div>
