King Street, Gran(d)borough
« on: Wednesday 22 April 20 09:27 BST (UK) »
Just curious about a street in the earlier censuses for Gran(d)borough, Buckinghamshire

Can anyone tell me where King Street was or what it became? In 1851, the enumerator lists 36 households in King Street before it meets Church Street

Thank you - Alan

I don't really know - but this is the earliest map I could find, 1878, which shows St John the Baptist Church. I think the road the church is on is now Church Lane and Green End. If King St meets Church St, it may be the main road perpendicular, so now Winslow Rd/Marston Rd?

I may be completely wrong! Someone with local knowledge will hopefully be along soon.  :)
