Aldermaston Street, W10.

Aldermaston Street is a lost street of North Kensington

Aldermaston Street was part of an estate of 50 acres that a barrister called James Whitchurch purchased (for £10 an acre) in the nineteenth century. Streets began to be laid out on the estate during 1846. Aldermaston, Bramley, Pamber and Silchester were four neighbouring villages near Basingstoke, where Whitchurch’s daughter - Florence Blechynden Whitchurch - was living.

Aldermaston Street was one of the streets which disappeared after the Westway was built though it didn’t lie directly on the route. Instead its footprint covers what is now the Westway Sports Centre.

Roy Batham Notting Dale Added: 7 Jan 2022 05:50 GMT	Batham Family (1851 - 1921) I start with William Batham 1786-1852 born in St.Martins Middlesex. From various sources I have found snippets of information concerning his early life. A soldier in 1814 he married Mary Champelovier of Huguenot descent By 1819 they were in Kensington where they raised 10 children. Apart from soldier his other occupations include whitesmith, bell hanger and pig breeder. I find my first record in the 1851 English sensus. No street address is given, just ’The Potteries’. He died 1853. Only one child at home then George Batham 1839-1923, my great grandfather. By 1861 he is living in Thomas St. Kensington with his mother. A bricklayer by trade 1871, married and still in Thomas St. 1881 finds him in 5,Martin St. Kensington. 1891 10,Manchester St. 1911, 44 Hunt St Hammersmith. Lastly 1921 Census 7, Mersey St. which has since been demolished. Source: Batham/Wiseman - Family Tree Reply

Norman Norrington Blechynden Street, W10 Added: 28 Dec 2020 08:31 GMT	Blechynden Street, W10 I was born in Hammersmith Hospital (Ducane Rd) I lived at 40 Blecynden Street from birth in 1942 to 1967 when I moved due to oncoming demolition for the West way flyover. A bomb fell locally during the war and cracked one of our windows, that crack was still there the day I left. It was a great street to have grown up in I have very fond memories of living there.
