Jim, there's an old photo of Russell Street between the wars in "Portsmouth Yesterday and Today" by Anthony Triggs. Edwin Tanner's shop can't be seen, unfortunately; the photo was taken from just south of the Swan Street junction, looking north towards the Guildhall Square. From the information in the book, plus the directory, Edwin can be placed on the east side of Russell Street, in the northern section that leads up to the junction with Commercial Road/Guildhall Square. A post-WW2 photo of the area shows a lot of bomb damage. The east side of Russell Street seems to have been less heavily hit, but it isn't clear if the building where Edwin's premises were in the past had survived.
