Saunders Street, SE11
My grandfather (and presumably my father, uncles and aunts) all lived in 3 Saunders Street. I’m slowly researching my Family Tree. Does anyone know when this street was demolished, what were the properties like (I’m assuming extremely poor). My grandfather’s surname was HILKIN.

Saunders Street, SE11
I was born in a prefab on Saunders street SE11 in the 60’s, when I lived there, the road consisted of a few prefab houses, the road originally ran from Lollard street all the way thru to Fitzalan street. I went back there to have a look back in the early 90’s but all that is left of the road is about 20m of road and the road sign.
