    1. Re: [ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND] Whereabouts of Hat Case
    2. In a message dated 11/02/2008 18:35:00 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Susan - Hat Case ran from 16 Silver Street (later called Tunstall Street) through to Warren Street. Travelling down High Street East towards the docks Silver Street was the next street after Burleigh Street, both streets running from High Street East through to Prospect Row. This part of Sunderland was known as the 'East End'. Alan Vickers. Yes, indeed. Hat Case can be seen marked clearly on the 1st and 2nd ediitons of the Ordnance Survey maps, which are the usual answer to any question of "Where is/was a particular address". In this case we have the marvellous bonus of it being also clearly marked on Raine's "Eye Plan" of the late 18th century, which can give one an excellent sense of actually looking at the place as it was at that period.
