COMPLETED - Looking for Massey Road, Plumstead ...
« on: Tuesday 21 November 23 17:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello Everyone - I'm trying to find out where Massey Road, Plumstead, London was - it doesn't seem to exist any more.   Any searches online only come up with images of a house at 213 Massey Road in November 1969 where a murder was committed ... I've looked at old maps but haven't found anything (clearly looking in the wrong place or it has been cleared away by the local council) - any help re location would be much appreciated!  Thanks, Nina

Are you sure it isn't Maxey Road, which is a street name in Plumstead?

Thank you everyone - yes, it must be Maxey Road!  I've now found that road on an old map and can see where it used to be.  Many thanks again, Nina
