  • Gimmick's pinnery is at number 4c.


Other universes

There's also a Cable Street in Blackbury, U.K., setting of the Johnny Maxwell Series. It contains the White Swan pub (aka the Dirty Duck) and the former taxidermy shop of the late Solomon Einstein.

There is also a Cable Street in London, [1] the location for the Battle Of Cable Street. Shades of Treacle Mine Road maybe?
