Indeed it did, all the way to Shad Thames, although my memory seems to say it ended at Gainsford St. My grandfather worked for Courages so had a little terraced house. My uncle had a sweet shop & tobacconist in Grange Rd.

Just checked another map on https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=51.50369&lon=-0.07721&layers=10&b=8 & clearly my memory is correct.

Courage's Brewery is shown on this map - http://www.mappalondon.com/london/north-east/tower-london.jpg. The part of Boss Street as is now was John Street, and where Boss Street appears on the map, closer to the river, no longer exists. (@PeteXXX - We had a coffee alongside where the old Boss Street was. The passageway alongside the café is probably a trace of where Boss Street was.)

It was very nice coffee, too! ^_^

Predating Tower Bridge and with Lafone Street under two different names
 
Very good point. Already done the Post Office… was meant to be taking the girl out for cadets but she’s still not very well. Driving to rehearsal tomorrow though including the first refuelling as it didn’t come with a full tank.
good luck finding the filler cap door release! ;-)
