  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.

  Scott Hatton Added: 30 Jan 2023 11:28 GMT | The Beatles on a London rooftop The Beatles’ rooftop concert took place on the rooftop of the Apple Corps building in London. It was their final public performance as a band and was unannounced, attracting a crowd of onlookers. The concert lasted for 42 minutes and included nine songs. The concert is remembered as a seminal moment in the history of rock music and remains one of the most famous rock performances of all time. Reply |

 Added: 15 Jan 2023 09:49 GMT | The Bombing of Nant Street WW2 My uncle with his young son and baby daughter were killed in the bombing of Nant Street in WW2. His wife had gone to be with her mother whilst the bombing of the area was taking place, and so survived. Cannot imagine how she felt when she returned to see her home flattened and to be told of the death of her husband and children. Reply |
 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.
