Unnamed on this side by side map.

On the aerial view you can see that it is now occupied by allotments called Prospect Allotments.
The line of the old road is still in evidence.

DO you know which ward it was in? What are neighbouring streets on the census?

I found it by looking at the enumerators books, and finding a neighbouring street which luckily was still in existence. Having located that it was easy to go back to the older maps and find Prospect Terrace.

I looked on maps.nls but it just wasn't showing
Thank you very much again and it's only a street away from employer so that all fits in

Its described as Multi occupied slum dwelling but looking at where its placed backing onto a park makes you wonder. People would pay a fortune for a view like that  ???

They’d probably fortune now, but things were very different in that part of London 100 years ago.
