Burrage Road,Plumstead info please COMPLETED

[nanny jan]

My grandma was born at 78 Burrage Road, Plumstead; does anyone know if the house is still standing? I have an old photo of a general view of Burrage Road but would love to know if no 78 is still there.

Not easy for me to check; I'm in Dorset!


Thanks,

Nanny Jan

Hi Nanny Jan,

Its a while since I lived in that part of the world...but if you look at:

http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/elect/wards/woolcommon.htm

Burrage Road, (odd & even numbers) is listed on there, & so must still exist.

Another thing that occurs to me is zooming in on 'Google Earth', - have you got that?

Romilly.

Thanks Romilly,

Not sure I can get Google Earth as I do not have broadband but will have a go.

Not too worry...perhaps someone who lives nearby will come up trumps...& take a pic for you!!

Best Wishes, Romilly.

You can also use Google Maps......

Click on "Satellite View" - number 78 now appears to be a block of apartments.

Thanks again Nick29; guess the area has changed somewhat since 1864!

My sister used to live in Burrage Road until about a year ago, so I remembered what that building looked like from the front too

Are you still interested in finding out if this property is still standing?  I live pretty close by so will happily check and take a photograph if it is!

 Yes I am, but I suspect there has been some re-development in the area.  Thanks for the offer.
