Scott Hatton Blackmoor Street, WC2B Added: 11 Sep 2020 19:47 GMT	Millions Of Rats In Busy London The Daily Mail on 14 April 1903 reported "MILLIONS OF RATS IN BUSY LONDON" A rat plague, unprecedented in the annals of London, has broken out on the north side of the Strand. The streets principally infested are Catherine street, Drury lane, Blackmore street, Clare Market and Russell street. Something akin to a reign of terror prevails among the inhabitants after nightfall. Women refuse to pass along Blackmore street and the lower parts of Stanhope street after dusk, for droves of rats perambulate the roadways and pavements, and may be seen running along the window ledges of the empty houses awaiting demolition by the County Council in the Strand to Holborn improvement scheme. The rats, indeed, have appeared in almost-incredible numbers. "There are millions of them," said one shopkeeper, and his statement was supported by other residents. The unwelcome visitors have been evicted from their old haunts by the County Council housebreakers, and are now busily in search of new homes. The Gaiety Restaurant has been the greatest sufferer. Rats have invaded the premises in such force that the managers have had to close the large dining room on the first floor and the grill rooms on the ground floor and in the basement. Those three spacious halls which have witnessed many as semblages of theatre-goers are now qui:e deserted. Behind the wainscot of the bandstand in the grillroom is a large mound of linen shreds. This represents 1728 serviettes carried theee by the rats. In the bar the removal of a panel disclosed the astonishing fact that the rats have dragged for a distance of seven or eight yards some thirty or forty beer and wine bottles and stacked them in such a fashion as to make comfortable sleeping places. Mr Williams. the manager of the restaurant, estimates that the rats have destroyed L200 worth of linen. Formerly the Gaiety Restaurant dined 2000 persons daily; no business whatever is now done in this direction. Reply

Tottenham Court Road

Tottenham Court Road runs from St Giles’ Circus (the junction of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road) north to Euston Road.

The area through which Tottenham Court Road now runs was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to St Paul’s Cathedral’s Dean and Chapter. In Henry III’s time (1216-1272), a manor house just northwest of the modern corner of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street was owned by one William de Tottenhall. Around the 1400s, the area was variously called Totten, Totham, or Totting Hall. After changing hands repeatedly, Queen Elizabeth leased the manor for 99 years when it became popularly known as Tottenham Court. A century later, it apparently passed to the Fitzroys, who built Fitzroy Square on part of the manor estate in the late 1700s.

A major shopping street, Tottenham Court Road is best known for its high concentration of consumer electronics stores, from cable and component specialists to package computer and audio-video dealers. Further north, several furniture shops including Habitat and Heals can be found.

In the 1950s-60s, Tottenham Court Road and some adjoining streets had become a hub for surplus Second World War radios and electronics. Stores like Proops Brothers and Z & I Aero Services offered amplifiers, radios, and components, later selling Japanese transistor radios and other electronic gadgets alongside British valve stereos.

Tottenham Court Road tube station, one of three stations serving the street, opened in 1900 as part of the Central London Railway. The platforms beneath Oxford Street west of St Giles’ Circus were originally connected to the ticket hall via lifts. The original Oxford Street station building, designed by Harry Bell Measures, still forms part of the station entrance with some original facade features surviving. Otherwise, the old station buildings were largely demolished in 2009. Elizabeth Line services began at what effectively was a new station in 2022.

The Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (now the Northern line) arrived in 1907 but was initially called Oxford Street. An interchange linking the Central and Northern lines opened later. The original CCE&HR buildings were destroyed by Centre Point construction.

Among the W1 postal district’s thoroughfares, Tottenham Court Road is the only one featuring the word "road" in its name rather than street, square, etc.
