The main road through Lee was re-routed at some point in the 19th century. On 1805 map it went via what is now Old Rd, which it appears extended further east but by 1893-6 map it went via the current route. Needs some research.

Road start dates and end dates are wrongly mapped in this area, this shows the modern road layout not that in the 19th century as currently tagged. Needs some research to find out when the road layout was changed. Also need to add older roads which have now gone.

The route of the old Poplar to Bow road is not clear here (between Bow La and what is now St Leonard's Rd). Presumably one of the later roads follows the alignment but not sure which one. Needs research.

Add Shugg/Shrug/Sugg/Suggen Lane (from the present day Oxford Circus to Piccadilly Circus, including what is now Warwick St and part of Glasshouse St). It is mentioned in deeds of 1391. Needs some further research to determine route.

Arthur Street East seems to be now part of Monument St, according to OSM. When did the name change? Buildings of England London 1 (Bradley/Pevsner) suggests it changed when the road was extended in in 1884-7, but the OS 1893-6 map suggests it continued to be called Arthur Street East after the extension.
