    How is a house number determined, as in a street address like 123 Main Street?

    Question #95311. Asked by MarciaMK. (May 03 08 8:08 PM)

    House numbering is the system of giving a unique number to each building in a street or area, with the intention of making it easier to locate a particular building. The house number is often part of a postal address.

    House numbering schemes vary by place, and in many cases even within cities. In some, usually remote, areas of the world, houses are not numbered at all, instead simply being named.

    Looking at an almost 40-year-old map of London today, I saw that there was once a short thoroughfare called "Pickle Herring Street," sort of parallel to Tooley Street. It seems to have been done away with, abolished, destroyed. Can any U.K. resident tell me about this street, the origin of its name, and why it has disappeared? Online sites are not helping.
