Upper Stratton Swindon address changes
« on: Wednesday 09 November 16 15:20 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Does anyone know please if 27 Kingsdown Road (now Beechcroft Road) could have been the address of The Boundary House in 1930 or if not where number 27 was?

Thank you

Thank you both.  The fact there are 4 names listed for number 27 in 1928 gives me hope it was a larger building.

Is it possible to find a John Moore in Kingsdown Road in those years?  I think at number 52.
I know they lived next to The Club so could work down from there perhaps to The Boundary House number wise although it's always a bit hit and miss!

Thanks youngtug.  The Boundary House I remember as a child was dilapidated inside and quite scary, my friends and I used to brave the steps and peer through the keyhole at the peeling wallpaper.
