Can anyone tell me the name of or has any pictures of the housing on this road. Im trying to get to grips with some of my wife's ancesters and one in particular was a servant here in the 1901 Census (Ellen Pulford).
Many thanks in anticipation

A long time since this was posted and I doubt the OP will pick it up but the Road in question is Sea Road and not Lea Road.

Richard may no longer be with us but perhaps these notes will help somebody.
In 1901 Ellen Pulford (born c.1884 at Gislingham) was working as a housemaid for lodging-house keeper Maria Brett at Hawarden House, Sea Road, Felixstowe. This is the fourth of six properties between Undercliff Road and Granville Road in Cowell's Directory of Felixstowe & Walton for 1909 (page 110 (https://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/digital/collection/p16445coll4/id/117090)). The occupier was then listed as Mrs Canavan but in 1920 the late Miss Brett's representative(s) published particulars for the sale of "A Semi-detached seaside residence known as Hawarden House, Sea Road, Felixstowe, recently in the occupation of the military authorities" (Suffolk Archives: HE402/1/1920/60 (https://www.suffolkarchives.co.uk/collections/getrecord/GB173_HE402_1_1920_60)).
