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.

So now we have narrowed down the dates to 1971-81.

Er, no. If Southwell Road appeared in an atlas dated 1971-2, I don't
think it would have been constructed later than 1971.

ITYM, we have narrowed down the dates to 1963 - 1971.

I wonder if we have the same edition. Mine shows the road; its cover
price is 30p or 6'-; there is no date, but the monochrome Underground
diagram on the back cover has a note in tiny print, just above the key,
about the *planned* opening of the Victoria Line extension to Brixton.
(Namely: "Stockwell and Brixton opening second half 1971; Vauxhall
and Pimlico 1972". As it turned out, Vauxhall actually opened along
with Stockwell and Brixton stations in July 1971.) Of course this does
not necessarily indicate the date of the street maps, and for that
matter, the street maps in the volume are not necessarily all for the
same date.

The front cover is the same, but the LT Map doesn't have that note. On
page 77 it shows "Open 1971" where the Victoria line goes under the
river.

Looks like mine is the one after yours.

More likely the one before, then. So Terry's provides the earlier
cutoff date for the opening of the road.

HA3 is a rather odd area of Harrow:- Harrow Weald, parts of Kenton,
Queensbury and Wealdstone.

It's the Chile of the postcode map, 8km long and about 1km wide.
