There's a Park P. on this one:

It's in the bottom, middle square and is an extension of Blandford P. and leads on to Baker Street. Could this be it?

It's amazing what you find whilst looking through posts which you think have no relevance to you. I've just had a look at Valda's link and found one of my ancestors about whom I had no information at all. I've been searching for over 2 years for this person . I now know when and where he was born and his last place of residence.

Thanks Valda!! 

I have managed to trace my great-great aunt, her husband and two daughters through the Electoral Registers. In 1913 they were living at 97 High Street, Peckham and in 1918, they had moved to 37 Harders Road, Peckham where they lived until 1939. My 2xgreat aunt died in 1942 - I haven't got the death certificate yet so I don't know the cause of death but I don't think it was war-related. There's no Electoral Registers until 1945 when her husband (Alfred) and daughters were living at 94 Naylor Road but in 1946 they were back at 37 Harders Road.

Does anyone have access to the Bomb Damage Maps to see if their house in Harders Road was bombed which is why they had moved to Naylor Road temporarily? I've had a look at the V1/V2 maps but Harders Road doesn't appear to have been hit.

The family continued to live in Harders Road and after Alfred died in 1959, the daughters (both unmarried) remained there until 1961. I'm not sure whether the Registers don't go beyond then or whether they were rehoused due to the huge redevelopment of the area. Having looked at Google Streetview the houses all look post-war. Does anyone have any details of when these were built?

Both the daughters have since died, both still spinsters.

Summer Street is just off Old Ford Road at the top of this map:

There is a history of British judicial hanging as part of the website above (I found it whilst researching something similar in my own tree).  It states "Once a person had been sentenced to death they were housed in the condemned cell of the prison they had been previously remanded to" so I suppose it's feasible that he was brought into London to be tried at the Old Bailey and then sent back to his original prison. Have you tried searching TNA? Even with the limited information you have, you may be able to find something.
