202 St Mary’s Road somewhere in London - where?

[JenB]

Um, that seems odd. I wonder if it relates to your find at reply #8 mentioning freehold land at no 202 in 1932? No mention of house. (Unlessthat was the terminology used)

It makes me wonder why there are no even house numbers along that stretch of the road.

It doesn't mention freehold land in relation to number 202.
Here's a link to the actual page so you can check the wording https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/33811/page/2041
I read it that number 202 was an already existing freehold property (and I used to work at the Land Registry  )

It's clear that there was a residential property at 202.

As to who was there in the mid-1930's, the electoral registers should hold the answer. They are at Newham https://www.newham.gov.uk/libraries-arts-culture/local-history-archives/1

202 must have been where this new build is located on the corner of Rochester Avenue:

There was something there in 1939: https://maps.nls.uk/view/104194803#zoom=7&lat=9034&lon=8877&layers=BT

sorry to be dense, but how do you which way the numbers run on that road? I cannot see any numbers on the map at all.

I thought it might be on the other side of the road (see my previous reply) as that is where the even numbers were.
Here's number 162, which precedes number 202 in the snip jon provided

In any event, we are both looking at the same end of St Mary's Road

I'm looking at the map links but it says I have to subscribe to get close up views.
I can't see any house numbers - am I looking at the Rochester Road end of St Mary's Rd? In which case, how do you know this please? Are there numbers on the maps cos I cant see any (dense!).

Please re-read reply #20 

If you don't see a map click the minus button a few times, top left of the map. The map will appear

I can see the map but I can't see any house numbers to know what end of the road to look at - but you guys seem to know. Am I missing the obvious house numbers?

What we have done is to look at the map in conjunction with the snip provided earlier by Jon in reply #29

If you do this, and look at the street names, then it follows that number 202 must have been between the junctions with Rochester Avenue and Queen's Road (reply #30)
