Hello,

I'd like some help please with this address:

4 Hereford Terrace
Oxford St. Mill End
London

 

[Mark21]

Can you clarify what help you would like?

 

[gibbo]

It appears to me to be what you think it is Dave.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

But is it Mill End or Mile End?

I know both exist but which of the two fits Oxford street?

 

[gibbo]

I think it is Mill. The L on the end looks similar to the L in London.
But then i could be wrong :2fun::2fun:

 

[DaveHam9]

Oh, I agree it looks more like Mill but the actual question is does Mill End fit with Oxford street or not and I can't find the answer.

I Googled for Oxford Street and had a look at the map but could not find a Mill Street or Mill End. How old is the document?

Found a Hereford St off Oxford St in a 1830 map.
Other problem is that Oxford St and Mile end are on opposite sides of London!
A terrace in London can be just a row of terraced houses in a street.
Maps of the 1800 do not show individual houses or terraces.
Also unable to find a Mill end for london unless a miss spelling(as on some web sites)

Hello Jay,

It's on a 1853 shipping record.

Regards,

Dave

Hello Peter,

Thanks. So it can't be Mile End. It seems to be written as Mill anyway.

Yes, I agree it's probably No 4 in a row of terrace houses and probably no way of knowing where along Oxford street it was.

Regards,

Dave

Perhaps destroyed in the Blitz.

Thanks Joan.

At least on this film it looks like Hereford. On the other shipping reel it looked like Kensington.
