what happened to Holly Grove SW16?
« on: Wednesday 15 December 10 13:06 GMT (UK) »
My husband has family members in the 1891 census living in Holly Grove in Balham/ Streatham. I understand that it was just off Oldridge Road but I can't seem to find it on any map and can find no mention of it being demolished. Can anyone enlighten me as to what happened to this road? Thanks

Hi,

According to this site, Holy Grove became Oldridge road in 1912.

ah, that's brilliant, thanks so much, I was starting to think I was going mad as even map sellers were denying any knowledge of it!
