Structure
Laid out after Forth Street (1811) but before Thomas Oliver's map of 1830. Orchard Street and South Street were the first of a series of north-south streets to be laid out on the south side of Forth Street. Mackenzie noted that both were 'filled with manufactories, and the houses of their proprietors, overseers, or workmen'. Trade directories from 1847 list Robert Stephenson & Co (HER 4347, 8960, 9253 and 9256), John and Isaac Burrell ironfounders, William Henry Pearson iron plate worker and George Heron & Co. engineers. There were also a small number of grocers and 'dealers in sundries'.
