Vulcan St was halfway between North St and Sheepscar St South. This Street View at http://goo.gl/maps/FGBJt is roughly where the junction with Benson St was. Leodis version of the same view at http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... LJohnson's is in an old iron foundry. It's an interesting place to visit but it's at the end of a long and isolated road so it's best to drive there.
