I have a house in a street called Swete Street in Plaistow London.
Parish West Ham.
c1860 it is a large house on the street (only building showing on the map)
After 1869, Swete Street starts getting its Victorian terraced houses built along it
I do know that in the 1970's my friend (surname suckling) lived there and that it was of a construction far older than the Victorian Terraced houses either side of it.
her number was number 59 and it was created by the splitting of the large building that had been on its own on the 1860 map into two separate dwellings (nos. 57 and 59).
What I'm trying to find out is what was the purpose of the original building (a farm perhaps?)
And can it be found on the early census' (1841, 51, 61), to give any clues to its original purpose?
Plus any census results for number 30 Swete Street (my childhood house), which was built around 1890 ish
Many thanks
