On the 1898 OS map - opposite The Smithfield, at the junction of Regent Road & Bethesda Street was a Cattle Market.

Smithfield was originally, an open area outside the North West walls of the City of London, a market for cattle and horses, which later became the central meat-market - no doubt this is where The Smithfield public house gets it's name from.
