Not sure if you've seen this 1862 map but it's quite clear so will post just in case .............. http://www.motco.com/map/81006/ ................... Road & Street Index (East Street 21,23)

Guess this is the present day location (will post map for own ease of reference)

You mentioned, somewhere, that the property has an unusual layout - I'm intrigued now ;D  You obviously don't live there so is there a story behind your search .................. interesting property ...................... is it in this picture near to the meridian (GMT) disappearing into the front room of 2 Feathers Place http://shw.fotopages.com/2697772/Studs-across-Park-Vista.html
 ???

Where's Dimps she knows an awful lot about that area ;D

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

Hi
Ok, i grew up on Eastney Street. Eastney st was originally called East Street and one of the oldest streets in greenwich. East Street streched from the river across Trafalgar Road which was laid down in the 1700s and up to Park Vista. John Roan School was in the upper part of East Street. East Street changed its name to Eastney Street in the early 1900s. Eastney Street still survives today up to Trafalgar Road but upper East Street had an estate built across it and the remainder of East Street became Feathers Place after the pub The Plume Of Feathers which is located 20 or so yards from there
