Can you give names, reference details etc of the person/family you have on the 1881 census who live at this address? Armed with that information we might be able to help further.

You say you have this as an address on the 1881 census - what is the reference for it in 1850?

  The above  link is for  Albion  Close ,   however this  is  close to  a fairly   new  road  ( as  in  probably  not there  in  1880s!)  Albion Street  may  well  have been  demolished ,   there's  an awful  lot of  new   buildings been put  up in Romford  ,  even  in the time  I've lived near there !

I see you already have an idea where Albion Street is:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=211838.0
It is somewhere off Waterloo Road near the Barrack Ground.

I found the following:
The first large development in the 19th century was on the old barrack ground, south of London Road. The site comprised about 12 a., extending south to the railway. It was sold c. 1840, and during the next 15 years some 200 artisans' cottages and at least two factories were built there. (fn. 30) The area, which was known in the 1840s as New Romford, included Waterloo Road, St. Andrew's Road, and Queen Street. Since the Second World War it has been redeveloped with council flats.

Jan, Albion Close is near Queen Street so possibly when the whole area was covered in flats they changed Albion Street into Albion Close ...

Well I have found it, but now I have to work out where it used to be. I think it ran north south at the east end of where Albion Close is today. I think Albion Close used to be called Albion Terrace.
I think there must be an easier way, but I entered Queen Street Romford and selected the last property:
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html
Then select the 1873 town plan and zoom in.

Added: try the search using the address 24 Albion Close and then select the 1873 town plan

I think it was approximately where I thought.
