Hi,

Does anyone know where on Plaistow Road "Nursery Terrace" is/was?

Cheers,
Iain

Afraid not.   It could just be a small row of houses among the others.   Can you follow the census pages along to work out which side streets it's inbetween?

I can only see Nursery Terrace on the 1861 census where it is adjacent to Church St and Abbey Park Terrace.   As Lily M said it isn't shown on maps that I can see but this is a link to a map from 1867 showing where Church St meets Plaistow Road http://maps.nls.uk/view/103313006#zoom=4&lat=9560&lon=14865&layers=BT

Thanks for posting the link Kay.

The National Library of Scotland's maps are brilliant and they do help show how areas change

Thanks for the info.... And the 1869 map, which I hadn't found on that site before, and shows King Georges Court and helps place a few things.

The enumerator looks to have walked up Plaistow Road (the old one, now also Church Street), east along Church Street and down Abbey Road.

There are a number of Places and Terraces recorded and not that many actual addresses on the roads themselves, so yes looks like they listed the building names and not the street address:

1-5 Montague Terrace
9-1 Abbey Park Terrace
1 Marcus Street (2-38 - 18 Uninhabited, 14 Building)
1-3 Cedar Place
1-20 Nursery Terrace
? House
Providence House
Church Street
3-1 Prospect Place
26-24 Church Street
1-7 Curtis Building
23-1 Church Street
1-20 King Georges Court
Abbey Road incl Greyhound Public House

So looks like Nursery Terrace was probably opposite the Angel Pub?
