Another mystery brought up by this thread: A friend lives in Uphill
Drive, NW9, just off Kingsbury Road and not a million yards from
Southwell Road. Uphill Drive was built in the thirties, but it didn't
make it into the A-Z until the eighties. WhY?


It is clearly shown on my 1948 edition of the A-Z.
(Page 27, Square 3D).

It's not in my 1940 Bartholomew's Reference Atlas, but I find that it is
in my Geographia atlas, c 1950. Maybe only some publishers missed it
out.

Certainly my friend used to find it impossible to get taxis along
because the drivers assured him that his address did not exist. They of
course know better than the chap who lives there.
