interesting history, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obious. The image is good and licensed, but I'd almost wish to show the parlor, to illustrate what was lost. - Prose: I have trouble reading the sentence about Henrietta, and the last one, - could you please simplify? Can you please make the gallery pictures a bit larger and link the building? It takes time to see the church image and then have to search for the link. I'd prefer an infobox, and will wait for a qpq, nothing new ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:45, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I have done what I can. Which sentence about Henrietta is troublesome? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! No 1: "wife of Edward Harley of Harley Street fame and heiress", - strange "wife of Edward Harley of Harley Street fame and heiress", perhaps a comma would help enough. The other: "One was number 11 on the south side, the parlour from which was donated to the Victoria & Albert Museum when the house was demolished in 1956 to build the new Debenhams store", - make it two or three sentences ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Try it now. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:56, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Like it, thank you! just qpq ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

One more wish: could the map go up from gallery, closer to the history, or even lead image? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:33, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately not because the infobox takes up most of the space on the right (as they are inclined to do!) and I don't like putting pictures on the left because they break up the flow of the text. Additionally it is historic and might be mistaken for current. We can't use Open Street Map either because it has an error in the naming of the streets. I think the gallery works well at different screen sizes from my experiments. We can fit the map in when the article is expanded. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Alt 1 ... that the Debenhams department store (pictured) in Henrietta Place replaced a Marshall & Snelgrove store on the same site?

I have to replace the original hook Gerda as further investigations show Debenhams did acquire the site of the houses, but not to build that store. Instead, I think it was Henrietta House they built. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:50, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

It's ok, but I am not enthusiastic about it. Other suggestions welcome, but I will approve this if not, once the qpq is done. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:39, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

A QPQ review appears to be needed before this can move forward. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Alt 2 ... that Henrietta Place in Marylebone, London, was named after Lady Henrietta Cavendish (pictured)?

QPQ done and alt added with pic. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:31, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, - like ALT2 much better! More unusual image, nicely cropped. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 20 December 2016 (UTC)a
