Bob - the London broadside versions which I've seen (and one of which I sing) are usually based in the Wapping/Ratcliffe area. The famous Ratcliffe Highway is now just called "The Highway".

I've heard a bawdy parody with the words:

Her tits they hung down to knee-caps
Held up by a big navvie's hand.
