Junction Street East Ham?

I have some info on an ancestor who lived on a Junction street in East London. I have found pictures suggesting that junction street is the area where barking road crosses with high street north and high street south East Ham. I can't find former reference to them as junction street that isn't ambiguous.

    In the 1911 census summary books there is a Junction Street in Canning Town West Ham, the enumerator went from 26 Shipwright Street to 1 Junction Street. 2 Junction Street was a public house - The Britannia. Junction St had 38 houses. Then on to Ship Street.

    Mind you I can't see a Shipwright St on Google Maps either.

    Here's an old map of the area, can't see it on there, but you can see how many of the little streets are not there any more - http://www.maps-of-london.com/map-west-ham-7.jpg
