  • Help reading an address please

    Hi

    I have just recieved the marriage cert of my granddad's brother Frederick George Jacobs to Emily Elizabeth Butler. (married 23rd April 1906, St Andrews Church, Croydon)

    Could someone familiar with Woolwich/Croydon help with the address please. Here are some clues

    Frederick was a publican, in 1920 he ran The Albion Tavern, 33 Albion Road, Woolwich.

    In 1921 he died (of Cirrhosis of the liver) and his address was 54, Wandle Road, Croydon.

    I can make out Emily's address Meadow Stile, Croydon ( which is next to Wandle Rd)

    Fredericks occupation at the time of his marriage was Hotel Keeper, I can see it's Spread Eagle, but the only Spread Eagle I can find was one in Greenwich.. wrong road anyway.

    Any ideas on the name of the road, and if it is indeed Woolwich. I have tried Portland, Postland, Polland, but nothing.

    Thanks
    Sandra

    Sandra - there's a Spread Eagle Public House, South Portland Road, Croydon, showing up in an address search of the 1881.

      Thanks Gillian, just off to have a look.

      edited - I have just had a look, and South Portland Road is in Norwood, Croydon.
      Right area for Emily, but miles away from Woolwich. I'm positive it does say Woolwich on the cert.

        It says Portland Road Woodside, not Woolwich.

        There seem to be a lot of Chinese restaurants there nowadays.

          I agree with Mary: Portland Road, Woodside, which ties in with "Meadow ?Stile?, Croydon" below.

              According to Streetmap.co.uk there is a Meadow Stile off High Street, Croydon.

              Though I'd never heard of it and I used to go shopping regularly in the High St.

                Meadow Stile runs w-e into the High Street (A235) south of Laud St and north of West St - you can see it on googlemaps.
