Milson Road (1908 - 1954)
My grandparents and great grandparents and great great grandparents the Manley family lived at 33 Milson Road from 1908 to 1935. My grandad was born at 33 Milson Road. His parents George and Grace had all four of their chidren there. When his father Edward died his mother moved to 67 Milson in 1935 Road and lived there until 1954 (records found so far, it may be longer). Before that they lived in the Porten Road. I wonder if there is anyone that used to know them? My grandad was Charles ’Ted’ Manley, his parents were called George and Grace and George’s parents were called Edward and Bessie. George worked in a garage and Edward was a hairdresser.

Southwood Road, SE9
My great great grandfather lived in Time Villa, Southwood Rd around 1901. He owned several coffee houses in Whitechapel and in South London, including New Time Coffee House so either his house was named after the coffee house or vice versa.

Paddington

The first underground railway station in the world ran from Paddington on 10 January 1863 as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway’s route from Farringdon.

The first Metropolitan station opened as Paddington (Bishop’s Road) but Paddington station, designed by the celebrated engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel had long been the London end of the Great Western Railway.

Paddington had been an important town west of London before it was engulfed by the metropolis. It was first a medieval parish, then a metropolitan borough and finally integrated with Westminster and Greater London in 1965. Also found in Paddington are St Mary’s Hospital (where penicillin was first discovered) and the former Paddington Green Police Station - once the most important high-security police station in the United Kingdom.

Alan Turing, the pioneer mathematician was born in Warrington Crescent.

Fictionally, Paddington Station has a display case showing Paddington Bear, a character of children’s fiction who, in the book, is first discovered at this station and hence named after it.

Paddington mainline railway station has a commuter service serving stations west of London, a mainline service to Oxford, Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Devon, Cornwall and South Wales. The Elizabeth Line now runs through, inheriting the express rail line to Heathrow Airport.

The Yorkshire Stingo (1770) This was a simple rural pub in Marylebone (named after strong ale from God’s Own County) before the building of London’s first bypass, the New Road (later Marylebone Road and Euston Road). Once the pub was connected to London by road, business took off in a dramatic way. Pleasure gardens were built at the rear where some of Britain’s first balloonists demonstrated. The pub was one of the earliest places to use the term ’music hall’ for vaudeville and burlesque once its music hall here opened on 24 August 1835. Most notably for London history, during 1829 George Shillibeer started London’s first omnibus service in the capital between the Yorkshire Stingo and the Bank of England. The route took it down the New Road, City Road, Moorgate to the Bank. Shillibeer’s name is commemorated in the nearby Shillibeer Place. The ’Stingo’ is no more - demolished in 1964 to make way for the widening of Marylebone Road to cater for the Marylebone Flyover.
