I'm now wondering how much this area was bombed in WW2?

I've just found this, which doesn't really help much:

http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/media/Penc_Upload.pdf

Brighton Street
Runs north from Crasswell Street to Commercial Place
Crosses Church Path North

None of those roads are on a current map!

There are quite a lot of references to the various joining roads on that site, but it's making my brain go fuzzy trying to take it all in.

Landport was heavily bombed during WW2, and most of what was left was subsequently demolished. I doubt that any streets from before WW2 survive today.
