Ken Herlingshaw Added: 17 Jun 2023 18:34 GMT | St John the Evangelist - Spire The top of the church spire fell off during WW2 (presumably during a bombing raid ?) and for many years after that the spire had a flat top. I don’t know when it was restored. Definitely not in the early fifties when I went to Sunday School there. Reply |
EMC Added: 10 Jul 2023 22:31 GMT | Correction re Ossington Street In the Wikipedia date of 1837 for the renaming of Victoria Grove as Ossington Street, the two last figures appear to have been transposed from the likely source, London County Council, Names of Streets (1905) quoted in T F T Baker, Diane K Bolton and Patricia E C Croot, ’Paddington: Bayswater’, in A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 9, Hampstead, Paddington, ed. C R Elrington (London, 1989), pp. 204-212. British History Online ptth;:’www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol9/pp204-212 [accessed 10 July 2023]. "During the 1830s Victoria Grove (renamed Ossington Street in 1873) (fn. 48) was laid out from the Uxbridge road close to the boundary, on part of Gravel Pit field." This makes sense, as John Evelyn Denison, a former Speaker of the House of Commons, was created 1st Viscount Ossington in 1873. Source: Paddington: Bayswater | British History Online Reply |

Paul Cox Added: 5 Mar 2024 22:18 GMT | War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there. Reply |

Gillian Added: 17 Feb 2024 00:08 GMT | No 36 Upper East Smithfield My great great grandfather was born at No 36 Upper East Smithfield and spent his early years staring out at a "dead wall" of St Katharine’s Docks. His father was an outfitter and sold clothing for sailors. He describes the place as being backed by tenements in terrible condition and most of the people living there were Irish. Reply |
Kevin Pont Added: 16 Feb 2024 20:32 GMT | Name origin Interestingly South Lambeth derives its name from the same source as Lambeth itself - a landing place for lambs. But South Lambeth has no landing place - it is not on the River Thames Reply |
C Hobbs Added: 31 Jan 2024 23:53 GMT | George Gut (1853 - 1861) George Gut, Master Baker lived with his family in Long Lane. George was born in Bernbach, Hesse, Germany and came to the UK sometime in the 1840s. In 1849, George married an Englishwoman called Matilda Baker and became a nauralized Englishman. He was given the Freedom of the City of London (by Redemption in the Company of Bakers), in 1853 and was at that time, recorded as living at 3 Long Lane. In the 1861 census, George Gut was living at 11 Long Lane. Reply |
