Hello - I wonder if someone with local knowledge can assist me. I'm looking into material relating to this church circa 1889. I've found that Hoxton comes under Shoreditch, and that Shoreditch in turn is part of Hackney. However, Googling the church gives two addresses: Penn Street, and Hyde Road. There surely can't be two St. Saviour's, so where was it, and why are two locations given? Thanks in anticipation, Doug in Lancashire.

Hi Doug St Saviour's was at the junction of these two streets at the time in question. The church and surrounding area suffered damage during the war and the church was subsequently demolished. The whole area has since been "remodelled", with Penn Street and Hyde Road being effectively one thoroughfare. The name changes from one to the other at the junction with Northport St. Use Google maps to see the current layout. The original location of the church can be seen clearly on the 1908 Bartholomew map at http://mapco.net/london.htm.
