Berrylands Road, Surbiton.

Leading from Berrylands Road to the south is Howards Road. I haven't come across this name before. Did it have another name formerly?
Thanks, Toby.

There was a road called Howard Road, Surbiton in 1911

Comparing a recent London atlas ("A-Z") with one of (probably) the 1960s, it looks as if the area has been rebuilt. The present Howard Road is in about the same place as a previous Alpha Road, and Howard Road was a small side street off to the east where the present Howard Road ends. I see that there is still a truncated Alpha Road at the south.

Thanks to you both for your help. I can now add a bit more for I have managed to visit the area. The Angel P.H. in the 1911 census is at 1, Alpha Road. The building still stands but is derelict and is now in Howard Road.
In “Surbiton, Thirty-two Years of local self Government 1855 – 1887” by Rowley W.C.Richardson. 1888. p23  refers to Green Lane (Alpha Road). Alpha Road was straight as a die whereas Howard Road has bends and it is this that makes comparisons of the two courses difficult. Toby.
