ARTIZAN BUILDINGS

[Selby]

 

I've just found out that in 1911 my grandmother lived in 39 Artizan Buildings, which was probably in North Kensington (?) (the family had previously lived in William Street and Bangor Street North Kensington, and later on in Portland Road.... so I imagine they hadn't gone too far from that area). 

I can't locate this address anywhere - I've googled it but nothing has come up.  Does anyone know where these Buildings were please?? 

Thanks,

Selby

Could they have been in Gun Street, Southwark?  Also possibly known as Artisan Dwellings?

As well as Artizan Buildings in Southwark, there was an Artizan Dwellings in Hammersmith.

Hi guys... I somehow 'feel' it's more likely to be Hammersmith than Southwark - but if they were in Hammersmith - do you know where?

In or near Olaf Street W11

Thank you!

Have you found your grandmother in the 1911 census?

   Hi Shaun

Yes, I picked up a copy at the National Archives at Kew - whoever filled in the address had very wiggly writing and just put 39 Artizan - nothing else...

I've just 'google mapped' Olaf Street - I couldn't see much except that it had all gone and new buildings put up (what's new  ) - nice to know where she was brought up though (not sure if it was any better than the notorious Bangor Street where the family lived before!!!)

Hi Selby

Just came across your posting while Googling for Artizan's Dwellings, my ancestor, Julia Maria Eugenie Atkinson (nee Dunford) was living at 59/60 Artizan's Dwellings, Hammersmith in 1901, whereas in 1911, although the address on the Census page reads "93, Olaf Street Dwellings, Latimer Road, Notting Hill", on the address cover page the enumerator has written "Mrs Atkinson, 93, Artizan Dwellings".

Hope that helps.

Maybe your ancestor and mine knew each other !
