Hi I am trying to find information relating to my grandfather Henry A W WEBB who it is believed was at one time a London City Missionary who was also employed by the London County Council to assist in helping the residents of the Old Nichol move out to other accommodation prior to the site demolition and the building of the new Boundary Street Estate.. It is strongly believed that Henry was interviewed by Charles Booth together the Rev Loveridge probably circa 1885 to 1898. Any information, such as extracts from diaries, newspapers etc, would be very welcome as would any photographs. In addition photographs of the Prince of Wales at the official opening of the estate would be of great interest. Henry went on to become the estate superintendent but died, on the estate, in 1925. Robert in N Wales

Robert, Do you know that the LSE has some of Charles Booth's notebooks online? http://booth.lse.ac.uk/ You might find something there.

I am fairly certain they are still going and may still have (or deposited) archives. Regards John Henley
