On Lamington Street you will see a row of houses called "Bradmore Terrace".

Bradmore Terrace follows on from Boston Terrace in the 1871 census. Boston Terrace could be the row of small houses next to Bradmore Terrace on the 1860's map, and which are on Bradmore Park Road on later maps.

It is a bit frustrating that it doesn't seem to be marked on any maps ....  :-\

Have checked Historical Directories - again, no mention of Boston Terrace. Only a Boston Road in Acton. Very frustrating.

I also was looking for Boston Terrace. I live about 800m from there

I have a few theories - though they are just that.

My main theory is that this was a name for a collection of 4 houses built at the same time (as shown by Ruskie in a previous post) which is common in this area of London. I live in a similar property about 800m from here.

My best guess is that these days, 32, 34, 36, 38 Perrers Road (Formerly York Terrace) are the buildings formerly known as 1-4 Boston Terrace.

Why?

They didn't exist on the map "Surveyed: 1865 to 1866, Published: 1871"
https://maps.nls.uk/view/103313033#zoom=6&lat=3293&lon=14756&layers=BT

30 Perrers looks similar but has minor differences - I don't think it was built at the same time, but was built later as 'infill'. 32-38 are all built identically.

40 Perrers is also a different style of house - I suspect it was built later. Possibly a shop.

I live locally so will walk the streets in the next few days and see if I can see any details (faded signs on the houses etc) that might give a hint.  I'll also drop into The Andover pub to see if they have any history on their walls.  Unfortunately the Duke of York pub closed about 15 years ago and is now flats.
