The address is 138 Southwark Street in the 1891, 1895 and 1899 directories, presumably due to renumbering. The address is 1 Holland Street in 1869 and earlier, and 22 Holland Street (or sometimes 22 John Street) in 1856 and earlier. This earlier address reflects a different site, about 100 metres to the north-west at the intersection of Holland Street (now Hopton Street) and John Street (which no longer exists). It is (mostly) named as the St John's Head in 1856 and earlier. *
