Middlesex addresses - any chance of a digital photo, please?

[Lyn S]

I hope this is the right board for the following request!

I have a number of addresses that feature in the Wills (+/- 1900) of two of my ancestors who appear to have acquired quite a bit of property in their respective life-times.

If anyone living in the locality of any of the following addresses has a digital camera and the time/opportunity to take a photograph of any of the properties (providing that they still exist!), I would be very grateful indeed:

84 Highgate Road, Highgate, London

3,4 5 and 6 College Lane (formerly Vine Cottages), Highgate Road, London

11 and 12 West View, Highgate Hill, Highgate

1 Doynton Street, Dartmouth Park

25 Churchill Road, Dartmouth Park

5 Burghley Road, Camden

46 Leverton Strteet, Kentish Town

Many thanks in anticipation of any help that can be offered.

Best wishes

Hi Lyn,

Have you looked on Google Street?

If you type the name of one of the roads into Google Maps, you will see that on the left-hand side of the map there is a little orange man at the top of the zoom bar. If you drag and drop him onto the road you are interested in, you are able to see the whole street in photos.

I've just looked at Burghley Road, Camden. The houses are still there, although I couldn't easily find which is number 5. It does tell you on screen roughly which number you are outside. You can zoom in to see door numbers, if the houses have them. I could see that 17 Burghley Road was numbered, and I moved down the road to where I would expect 5 to be, but I couldn't see a door numbered 5. I haven't looked for the other addresses, but you should be able to find them, as those areas are covered well.

Good luck,

Matthew

I've only just come across your very helpful reply to my query - I apologise for not acknowledging it before!

Many thanks for your suggestion - I'll give it a try!
