Aberavon Road, E3

Aberavon Road was called Frederick Place until 1938.

Laid out along at the same time as nearby Tredegar Square by Welsh politician Sir Charles Morgan in 1828, the area’s quiet streets take their namesakes from Welsh towns and villages.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
