I first mentioned the Harry Cox angle and said I learned it from Tom Brown as a Harry Cox version mentioning Royal Albion. Presumably that line was where Tom filled in his own gaps.
For what it’s worth I sing the first line as St James’s if for no other reason as during a set I might wish to mix it a bit and the segue from folk to blues is usually that followed by the c20 American descendent of the song, St James’s Infirmary Blues.
