Position:Home>Genealogy> My grandmother lived at 9 Addison Road Croydon . Has anyone any old photos dated


Question:My great grandmother was Mary Roberts she died whilst opening a letter. She was a police station matron. What does this mean? I am researching my family history and would like any information or photos of Addison Road back in 1800 to 1940.

Have you tried asking the Reference Librarian at Croydon's library, or the Archivists at the Records Office.
They should be able to tell you if they have any photographs in their archives, or if a collection of photographs with relevant streets have been published.

I don't know whether there are any photos of Addison Road Croydon on the site posted below, but its worth a look at least,
