Hi everyone.
A relative of mine has an address on the 1881 census as
27 Florenstone Street, Pt Houses, London, Middlesex.
Firstly, can any one please tell me where Florenstone Street was and secondly, what would "Pt Houses" mean, all I can think of is that this meant Private Houses.
Many thanks,
F H

Hi FH
Floreston Street was in Mile End Old Town - between 282 and 284 Mile End Road - perhaps somebody else can advise as to the approximate location on a map

Like you, my best guess is that it would be private houses

Hi Casalguidi.
Thats the only thing that I can think of. 
Do you reckon that there would be any pictures around of that road, or possibly the houses themselves.
Just a thought.
Regards,
F H

Hi every one.
Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to all of you who helped me on this one...
I contacted Tower Hamlets as Biker suggested and they were kind enough to send me a house numbered map of the original street, as well as a copy of an old photograph.
In the distance of the photo you can even see the old house (No. 27) that I was looking for.
Now thats what I call a result. 
Many thanks to you all,
F H

Hello to F H
I also had a relative who lived in Floreston Street and through reading your previous correspondence have obtained from Tower Hamlets Archives an unnumbered street map and photocopy of the street which unfortunately is obscured by a horse and carriage.
I was wondering if you could supply me with copies of your numbered street map and the photo which you got from Tower Hamlets as they sound better than these ones. I would of course reimburse your expenses for this request.
Regards D-J
