From the OS 6" map published in 1923 (with Davies Street running North-South down the middle):

The same map zoomed out a bit (to help you get your bearings):

Not much seemed to have changed by 1946:

A tower block, called Whitefriar Court and accessed off St Simon Street, now stands roughly where Davies Street once stood:
