Notes: An 1806 Sun Fire Office insurance record mentions a "Valiant Soldier", and a Valiant Soldier Alley appears on Rocque's 1746 map approximately where Magdalen St now intersects, which is where the "Great Britain" was located, so the "Valiant Soldier" was either on the same site or very nearby.
