My favourite is ViaMichelin at http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/tpl/hme/MaHomePage.htm which has excellent maps at various scales, but there's also Streetmap at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/, Multimap at http://www.multimap.com/ and Google maps at http://maps.google.co.uk/ If you google for "Much Park Street" there's plenty of references, and some nice pictures at http://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/nowandthen/much-pk-st.php. There's also a good range of historic maps of Coventry there. > Is/was Polly a traditional abbreviation or nickname for Mary Ann? Yes. Regards Paul Prescott
