Is anyone familiar with Lawrence Weston, Bristol?
« on: Thursday 22 March 18 18:45 GMT (UK) »
Looking through old papers with husband and came across a card his mum (now deceased) had been issued with when she was pregnant with him in 1960/61.

On it she gives an address of Humberstone Walk, Lawrence Weston. I can’t find it, anywhere. Google gives nothing, knowyourplace Bristol nothing.

Did it ever exist? Husband muttering “another bloody mystery” in slightly annoyed fashion.

Any help much appreciated.

Lawrence Weston, Bristol is a post war housing estate 5 Miles N.W. Of Bristol.  It’s findable on Google and has a Wikipedia page.
