Do you have his family address in 1911 or 1921?
Could it be the name of the house and not shown on maps?

Hi Katie
I live quite near Hurst and Twyford and having looked at current maps I think I can suggest an area for where Riverview may have been.

The river in question is most likely the River Loddon and there's a little housing development whose address is Loddon View, Hurst Road, Twyford. Seems quite a good fit 

Perhaps it was built on the site of Riverview??

Good luck with your research, Heather

yes i have now looked it up on old and current maps and i feel you might be right, i mean hopefully when i get my great grandfathers ww1 record, i will give more of an idea but thank you that was very helpful, im assume it was some kind of cottage
