    can anybody find 1 Tailors Institution, Haverstock Hill Camden in 1901 ? Thanks

    In a word - No! Sorry - have hunted through FMP but nothing under Haverstock or Tailor or Institution. Can't even find anything on Google either.

      I found a reference to it in Prince of Wales Road, Haverstock Hill - which seems to be a possible match to the Booths Poverty map link.
      In other words, if you are doing an address search on FMP it might be worth looking through the Prince of Wales Road households, rather than the Haverstock Hill ones.

            From links on the Genuki pages, I think Haverstock Hill could be Hampstead or St. Pancras, rather than Camden.

              Did a search for Prince of Wales Road - there was nothing under Camden, no streets at all come up under Haverstock - and if you put in Prince of Wales Road and just put London in the County the only two places come up - Battersea and St Pancras. There is a Haverstock Hill in St Pancras - will have a look at each number to see if anything comes up!

                Have been through each one - there are lodgers at 50a and a Boarding House at 54 but nothing to show any kind of Institution or tailors - apart from a family of dressmakers.
                There is no absolute truth - and no final answer.

                      A quick look in the newspapers shows the proper title was, Benevolent Institution for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Journeymen Tailors.
                      Also described as Tailors’ Institution almshouses
                      Established 1837. Incorporated 20 years later.
                      60 inmates (1880)
                      68 men and 19 widows in 1900
                      Allowed £28 a year, with rooms, coal and medical attendance.

                            I saw the word in some of the newspaper report as well. It's used here in its broadest sense. "A benevolent institution affording shelter and support to some class of the afflicted, the unfortunate, or destitute". OED
