7. Overall: Pass.

   Pass/Fail:

Comments: Hi Ritchie333. It mostly looks good. A few comments:

• I wasn't sure whether the second paragraph in the Geography section belongs in the Properties section (they both talk about groups, businesses, societies, etc. (could government departments fit in here?) that have occupied buildings on the street. If you decide to move that para, your Geography section will become very short; one possible idea could be to combine the Geography and History sections?

I think it's there just to stop the section being too small. Let me rejig. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• Consistency: "the Beatles" but "The Goons". "the Avenue Theatre" and "the Salon" but "The Christopher".

Should all be lower case but to spot every instance is like finding a needle in a haystack. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• Speaking of the Goons, I'm not sure that "radio comedies such as The (the) Goons" is precise. Perhaps "radio comedies such as The Goon Show" or "radio comedy groups such as the Goons".

Agreed, since the Goons' career covers more than just the classic 50s radio series. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• It's not a deal breaker, but I was wondering if there's a way to avoid the one-sentence paragraph about Monopoly. One idea might be to add a topic sentence at the beginning of the section that encompasses all of the cultural/social references in the section, and then combine everything into one (or two?) paragraphs. Another idea, if extra information is available, would be to flesh out the Monopoly bit by adding another sentence or two.
  

I dropped another tidbit of trivia in. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I think that's everything I noticed. Cheers, Moisejp (talk) 06:06, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

OK, it all looks good. Thanks for your efforts. I'm passing the article. Moisejp (talk) 01:37, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
