Hi I would like to see 24 Grosvenor Park Road, Walthamstow which was where my great grandparents and family lived in 1901. Can someone advise which end of the road it is ie Hoe Street or Wingfield Street and if within reasonable walking distance of Walthamstow Station. Would also appreciate if anyone knows whether they think that the house is “original 1901”and not a subsequent rebuild. Robert in N Wales
Robert, I've had a look on Google maps using the Street View facility and no 24 seems to be a white painted house just before the junction with Pembroke Road ( so the Wingfield Rd end) . On the Street View there is a man in a blue T shirt bent over outside it. It looks like an original Victorian double fronted house. It says it is about 10 minutes walk from Walthamstow Central Station. down Hoe Street.

Hi Robert If you go to google and select maps Then enter the address 24 Grosvenor Park Road, Walthamstow It should take you there , you will see a little yellow man on the zoom bar, drag him onto the map where the pointer is, this will take you to street view You can then do a virtual wander around the streets, number 24 looks very much as if its seen better days (much better days I would say) Its the second house in from the Pembroke Rd junction Its an awful lot cheaper than the train <vbg> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi > I would like to see 24 Grosvenor Park Road, Walthamstow which was where my great grandparents and > family lived in 1901.
