You need to be logged into your JCD account to edit that post.There should be an 'Edit' option above that post when your signed into the JCD account. You can remove certain words, but you'll not be able to delete the whole thing. Hope that helps. Edit.. D.S.C.O beat me to it

JD - I've just worked out how to change usernames on existing user accounts. It's only taken seven years...Anyway, if you would like to keep your old user account but have a new name on it just let me know and I'll sort that out for you.

Hi JD I removed a couple of duplicate posts and amended your original message - hope that's OK. And do let me know if you want me to change your username and keep your original account.

Anybody have any maps with this on it?I have a theory that it was maybe the pit's name that was taken also for the two pubs, which both appeared in the 1840s, as I am fairly sure the pit will have been there first.   
The Peacock Pit was indeed just the north side of Islington.

The land was taken by the WortleY Fired Clay company who may well have kept the pit open to mine fireclay.
