Title: Wimborne
Post by: Juni on Wednesday 29 August 18 07:33 BST (UK)

My grandparents lived at 28 Grove Road, Wimborne - the house where the blue car is parked.  I have been told that the street has been renumbered and would be grateful if anyone could tell me it’s new number.

The local council might be able to advise:

Can't you have a look at the numbers on google streetview?  :-\

When I search using Google Maps number 28 Grove Road is easy to find, the number is on a brick pillar by the front gate and wall.

The house you have shown appears to be number 51 (judging by the houses a few doors either side).

If I remember I'll walk past it later as I live the other side Wimborne.

It's definitely 51.
It doesn't have a number outside, but nos 49 and 53, either side of it, do.
