London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Who was at 4, Eastney Street in 1891 or 1901 Census

Hello everyone,
Such a lot of helpful information!
As you may gather I am a newcomer to this line of research and I really do appreciate the support I am being given here.
It does take a little while to digest and the detective element is great fun.
In answer to your question Casalguidi, a relative has occupied the house concerned, hence my curiosity, and the reason why I need to visit again in order to walk the streets- maybe as soon as next weekend.
 The photo you posted is exactly right. No 4 today is the first brick faced house, and I imagine the meridian line goes right through the centre.The Roan school is the building that juts out a little further down. Have just heard, Keith, that there are 5 doors in between, but the photo seems to indicate that one of them at least is a modern building.
As for the Temperence brewers...no doubt another area for research!
Many thanks again
SB

Hello Biker, thanks for your work.
You ask if I am looking for the Roan school-
I'm trying to find out about the house that is now 4 Feathers Place. We seem to have established that this road was previously East Street, and the house is today four or five doors down from the Roan school- I need to get down there again to count exactly.This house is at the south end of the road, close to the junction with Park Vista (formerly Park Place apparently).
I understand the school building is used today by the Maritime Museum.
Best Wishes
SB

Thanks again Casalguidi. It'll be a little while before I can get down to do the local work, but I am  confident  that all this advice will give me plenty to go on.
Best Wishes,
SB

Elleray Queen, you have been very busy, thankyou.
I have really been struggling with the address. The Street is Feathers Place today, and I have been told that it once continued  North to High Bridge, and was named East Street.Certainly the 1870 map you directed me to shows East Street in that position, so this is very helpful.
The house  is situated almost at the junction with Park Vista (named Park Place on the 1870 map).

Casalguidi, your reply seems to answer this question, it would appear that the house I am looking at could   be possibly be no 2 or 2a, the confectioner's since the Roan school is close by, today there are two or three houses between I think.
Thanks to you for the further research and also the tip about the local directories, I will get digging, also to Bob.

I know the house was built in 1744, and my interest is in the history of the building rather than in a particular resident .

Thankyou very much for your research which has already taken me forward a few paces.
Best wishes,
SB

Sorry to be so persistent, but I thought I'd start a new thread out of the ashes of my previous enquiries about the residents of 4, Feathers Place in the 1891 and 1901 Censuses.
Having giving it all further study, and realising that the building just up the road on the same side was The Roan Boys School, and that it had the address of 14, Eastney Street, I am fairly confident that Feathers Place was previously named Eastney Street
Therefore, could some patient person please have a look at the address, 4, Eastney Street on the 1891 or/and 1901 Census?
The existence of this Boys' School might help to pinpoint the household I am searching for.
Thank you and best wishes,
SB

Thankyou Reyz,
This is curious, the Heritage centre told me that the street was called East St in 1901. I wonder if it also changed its name before then.Looks as though I need to check further.
Many thanks,
SB

Just one more point!
I have just been looking at the current A-Z, and see that the continuation of Feathers Place as described by the Heritage Centre is today called Eastney Street, so am wondering whether this was the name in 1901 rather than East St .
Thankyou to anyone who is able to help,
SB

Hello Keith,
Well ,the kind person at Greenwich Heritage Centre, who replied very promptly today to my question said that Plume of Feathers Court adjoined the pub, although I don't think the Court exists any more- I'll have to look to see what is in its place.
Thanks for your help,
SB
