From :Â In 1896 the street was renamed to join the street to its west, Old Compton Street. Â On we found a page reporting that Rimbaud and Verlaine in 1871 used to frequent a bar, the Hibernia, at 5 Little Compton Street. Â The building shown on that page is now 5 Old Compton Street.
Note: New Compton Street used to extend to the west and join Little Compton Street. Â This section of road may have disappeared in 1877 when Charing Cross Road was built over the (presumably narrower) Crown Street.
