Little John Street which runs north from Great John Street to Quay Street, Manchester, is such a humble little street its name is only included on 25" O.S. maps, not the 6" maps. It is labelled 'Little John Street' on the 25" map published 1923, based on a revision carried out 1915-16. The 25" maps from c. 1893 and c. 1908 are not online. The street may be included in one or both of these. Since Little John Street is a side street of Great John Street, someone obviously had a sense of humour. A rather similar situation is found with John and Little John streets in Bristol.
