  Phil Stubbington Added: 14 Nov 2022 16:28 GMT | Numbers 60 to 70 (1901 - 1939) A builder, Robert Maeers (1842-1919), applied to build six houses on plots 134 to 139 on the Lincoln House Estate on 5 October 1901. He received approval on 8 October 1901. These would become numbers 60 to 70 Rodenhurst Road (60 is plot 139). Robert Maeers was born in Northleigh, Devon. In 1901 he was living in 118 Elms Road with his wife Georgina, nee Bagwell. They had four children, Allan, Edwin, Alice, and Harriet, born between 1863 and 1873. Alice Maeers was married to John Rawlins. Harriet Maeers was married to William Street. Three of the six houses first appear on the electoral register in 1904: Daniel Mescal “Ferncroft” William Francis Street “Hillsboro” Henry Elkin “Montrose” By the 1905 electoral register all six are occupied: Daniel Mescal “St Senans” Henry Robert Honeywood “Grasmere” John Rawlins “Iveydene” William Francis Street “Hillsboro” Walter Ernest Manning “St Hilda” Henry Elkin “Montrose” By 1906 house numbers replace names: Daniel Mescal 70 Henry Robert Honeywood 68 John Rawlins 66 William Francis Street 64 Walter Ernest Manning 62 Henry Elkin 60 It’s not clear whether number 70 changed from “Ferncroft” to “St Senans” or possibly Daniel Mescal moved houses. In any event, it can be seen that Robert Maeers’ two daughters are living in numbers 64 and 66, with, according to local information, an interconnecting door. In the 1911 census William Street is shown as a banker’s clerk. John Rawlins is a chartering clerk in shipping. Robert Maeers and his wife are also living at this address, Robert being shown as a retired builder. By 1939 all the houses are in different ownership except number 60, where the Elkins are still in residence. Reply |
 Sir Walter Besant Added: 11 Nov 2021 18:47 GMT | Sir Walter adds.... All the ground facing Wirtemberg Street at Chip and Cross Streets is being levelled for building and the old houses are disappearing fast. The small streets leading through into little Manor Street are very clean and tenanted by poor though respectable people, but little Manor Street is dirty, small, and narrow. Manor Street to Larkhall Rise is a wide fairly clean thoroughfare of mixed shops and houses which improves towards the north. The same may be said of Wirtemberg Street, which commences poorly, but from the Board School north is far better than at the Clapham end.

 Brian J MacIntyre Added: 8 Jan 2023 17:27 GMT | Malcolm Davey at Raleigh House, Dolphin Square My former partner, actor Malcolm Davey, lived at Raleigh House, Dolphin Square, for many years until his death. He was a wonderful human being and an even better friend. A somewhat underrated actor, but loved by many, including myself. I miss you terribly, Malcolm.

 Added: 17 May 2023 11:50 GMT | 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. Reply |
