Much of this happened, in London anyway, in the late 1930's, so, for example, no. 26? as was, might not be no. 26 now.

Multi map is also worth a try - and it contains a birds eye view feature for much of Greater?London.? A great feature as you can look at a building from 4 angles.? Views taken on different days which can be amusing. ?Richard Brown Bromley Kent ________________________________ From: Seemark <Seemark@btopenworld.com> To: railton.david@btinternet.com; eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, 11 October, 2009 17:14:28 Subject: Re: [SRY] Photographs - SE19 Hi David - might even be worth searching google earth - won't show you what they used to look like but you should be able to see what they look like today.

The houses I am interested in are at 62, Gipsy Hill and 26, Versailles Road. ? I don't know the area but I have seen them both described as being in Upper ? Norwood. ? ? My wife's father lived at the former between 1912 and 1917 and at the later ? from 1917 to 1922. I am assuming that these roads have not been redeveloped ? since then. ? ?

This is a difficult area. Gipsy Hill (the road, as opposed to the general area) runs through three London Boroughs -- Southwark, Lambeth and (just) Croydon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gipsy_Hill Versailles Road, on the other hand, is in the London Borough of Bromley. Good luck! Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Railton Thanks Rod. I will contact Southwark.

As Judy says, Gipsy Hill, south of Woodland Road, is entirely in Lambeth. This section includes No 62, which is just uphill from Cawnpore Street.  The remainder of Gipsy Hill, from Woodhill Road to Brockwell PArk, forms the boundary line of Lambeth (west side) and Southwark (East side) councils.  Richard Brown Bromley Kent U.K. ________________________________ From: Judy Lester <jlester@btinternet.com> To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 12 October, 2009 14:02:02 Subject: Re: [SRY] Photographs - SE19 This is a difficult area.
