Hi Pam Neither the West Surrey FHS index to the Godfrey Maps of London, nor Streets and Places within the Admin County of London refer to Selhurst Rd. Exploration in the additional index to the Surrey Godfrey Maps reveals both Selhurst Rd (sheets 1402 and 1406) and Holy Innocents(1402). This suggests Croydon rather than Lambeth. This is confirmed by a street map of Croydon which shows Selhurst Rd, well within the Croydon boundary. I didn't discover a date on the street map, but it is pre decimalisation (3 shillings).
