Notes:

    1. Although written in the directory as Cherrygarden street, it was Cherry Garden street (later known as York Street)
      2. When spoken, the last syllable of the street name 'Catherine' rhymed not with 'Lyn' but with 'line'. (This street absorbed into the dockyard c1957)
        3. The names Princess Street and Princess Ope were mistakenly written so at several points during the 19th century. The original, and still used to this day in Devonport, is the correct spelling of Princes.
          4. The letter r stands for 'rear of'
            5. Where letters were unreadable a question mark has been inserted in the above table.
