Title: Address in Newington or Lambeth areas
Post by: Nats185 on Friday 22 January 21 18:35 GMT (UK)

Can anyone tell what this street name is? Before and after this address they lived in Newington and Lambeth respectively so I'm guessing it is around this area, it is on a school admission form for Stockwell College.

Thanks in advance

Try the street indexes.
Pick one relative to the date(s). It looks like it starts with "Maw/Man" to me

There is a Manley Place in Newington/Lambeth pre 1912.
