Hi, I was just going by Streetmap but that's true it only gave the first few digits. Will check Multimap. Looks like we're all going to be experts on Green Lane...

The Green Lane shown on Streetmap is the one at Hardway. The one in the Alverstoke area of Gosport may not have a postcode because there are no houses actually fronting onto it. It is quite leafy and rural looking, and I can remember some big stag beetles lying on the path when I had to walk down it once! If you go to www.multimap.com, search for Gosport, then go to the 1;10000 scale, and click west twice, you will see Green Lane just south of Foster Gardens. On that map it is a small cul-de-sac, but on my map here it looks like a normal road, whereas neither is really correct. It is actually shown on streetmap too, just search for The Paddock and it is right next to there Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edna & Ken" <ekbrit@rogers.com> To: <ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 12:14 AM Subject: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] Green Lane, Gosport & Portsmouth > > Hi, I noticed on Streetmap that the postal code was the same for both > Alverstoke and Gosport but different for Portsmouth. > > Edna - Ottawa > > > > > ==== ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT Mailing List ==== > Visit the knightroots website at www.knightroots.co.uk > > ============================== > Search the US Census Collection.
