Title: Lexden - locating a house
Post by: j147 on Wednesday 19 October 05 01:40 BST (UK)

Hi,

On the 1881 Census Alfred Clarke and family are shown living at 56 Lexden Street, Lexden.   

I am trying to identify where this house was and if it is still there.   Unfortunately, Lexden Street is now Lexden Road and I think it has been renumbered at some point.

Any information most appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

Essex Pubs   http://essexpub.net/indexIan.htm

has listings for pubs in both Lexden Street and Lexden Road:

Perhaps you can work from these to find your address?

In 1891 the Sun Inn appears to be No 5, Lexden Street

And The Crown is about No 42 Lexden Street

If the Crown is No.42, then I'll guess that 56 has been demolished.

I will try to find a photo of roughly where it would have been.
