Woodville Grove Tottenham

[Lanne Dick]

I am looking for a photo of Woodville Grove before it was rebuilt and renamed (Edgecot Grove) after WW11. My son-in-law is looking for evidence that it actually exisisted as he cannot find any street map showing it around 1900. Can anyone help me find one for him.
