Districts: |
Davenant Street (formerly
St Mary Street) is in
the London Borough of Tower Hamlets,
created on 1 April 1965, within the administrative area of Greater London.
Previously, St Mary Street was in the Metropolitan Borough of
Stepney (established 1900) within the County of London (established
1889), both of which entities were abolished in 1965.
It was in the civil parish of Whitechapel, which was in the
former County of Middlesex until 1889 and formed a constituent part of
the Whitechapel District from 1856 to 1900. The civil parish was abolished in 1927
to be absorbed into Stepney Borough parish (until that parish's
abolition in 1965). |
