COMPLETED THANKS - Is that address really what it looks like?

[TonyR]

Hi all, just found this census image for some rellies & had to laugh at the address.  Does everyone agree that it really is what it looks like, or have you any other ideas.

Maybe someone knows the area & is familiar with this address, in which case can you show me on a map?

Finally, I tried googling Sluts End, Ampthill & just got a load of sites about people meeting others & walking their dogs - very strange!  Regards, TonyR.

It does look like it 

Alternatively Sleets maybe? 

(can you give the census reference?)

I've just checked this on the 1841 Find my Past address
search - according to them it certainly existed!

Just for the chuckle - anyone ever tried to write the above word on this site? It's automatically turned into:

very *friendly* person

According to the BLARS online catalogue at
http://blars.adlibsoft.com/ it seems to have
been known variously as Shutts/Shitts/Slutts/Sluts End,
and is now Woburn Street

Oh ROFL David! Not getting any better is it?

It's just along the road from Shitlington,
now known as Shillington. No idea why they
changed the name in the 1800s

Dunno, but the rockers didn't object
