Title: Rebecca Terrace, St. Olave, Rotherhithe
Post by: rindercella on Sunday 27 March 11 02:13 BST (UK)
Can anyone tell me if Rebecca Terrace in St. Olave, Rotherhithe Surrey still exists?  I've tried to find it on google earth and various maps to no avail.

Would be grateful for any help

Best regards
Karen

From censuses, it was off of Gomm Road, if that is any help.

Hi thank you for your help.  Unfortunately the link you sent me appears to be broken and was taken to the Amazon site but will keep trying.

haliared, thank you for your help.  Just tried it again and same thing happened.  Problem must be at my side so will try on another computer and see if it works!!  Even tried googling the bermondsayboy forum and keep getting "cannot find server" and "link broken" 

Cheers

I have a very old london a-z and Rebecca Terrace is on there, but on my new one it has gone

On a new A-Z is was where Orange Place & a school is today on same site. 

As said before Rebecca Terrace and now Orange Place are off Gomm Road

Thanks for that plummigirl.  That's a shame that street is no longer there, which I suspected as I google earthed it and nothing came up.  I posted the message a while ago to see if any local people knew anything about it as I discovered my Aberdeen born  gg grandmother died there in 1872. 

Regards.
Karen
