I have bought a few old A-Zs on eBay;


Could anyone with a decent collection please pin down when Southwell Rd HA3
was built? Bonus points if anyone can tell me why it was built. TIA.


Where's HA3? - sounds as if it should be in Yorkshire. Hackney?

In Bartholomew's Reference Atlas of Greater London, 11th Edn, 1961 :

Southwell Road is indexed as existing in SE5 Lamb., Croydon, and E11
Leyton;
Southwell Grove Road --- do. --- E11;
Southwell Gdns --- do. --- SW7 Kens.;
and no others.


My A-Z dating from the decimalization era (1971-2), shows Southwell
Road, Harrow.
