Looking through old papers with husband and came across a card his mum (now deceased) had been issued with when she was pregnant with him in 1960/61.
On it she gives an address of Humberstone Walk, Lawrence Weston. I can’t find it, anywhere. Google gives nothing, knowyourplace Bristol nothing.
Did it ever exist? Husband muttering “another bloody mystery” in slightly annoyed fashion.
Any help much appreciated.

It's Humberstain Walk, and it off Long Cross, opposite the start of Mancroft Avenue

Lawrence Weston, Bristol is a post war housing estate 5 Miles N.W. Of Bristol. It’s findable on Google and has a Wikipedia page.

It is indeed now Humberstan on modern maps - I was looking at a 1970s A-Z
