Owlstone Road
History of Owlstone Road
Owlstone Croft OS map 1901
Owlstone Road OS 1926
The ennumeration of the houses in 1911 demonstrates some of the problems that needed to be solved.
There were three unnumbered houses between 8 and 12. This had enabled no.9 to be allocated to a house on the other side of the road. Number 13 had been omitted presumably because the number 13 was not popular. In the 1913 ennumeration this was dealt with partially by the houses after no.8 being ennumerated 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. This meant that no. 12 was renumbered no.13. However it still left duplicates 9,10, 11 and 12 on the other side of the road!

In 1913 Kelly’s the houses in Owlstone Road are numbered (modern numbers in brackets):
North side from Grantchester Street: 1 to 8
1, William Richard Morris (1)
2, Aria Poole (3)
3, Mrs Phillips (5)
4, Walter Sigee (7)
5, Charles Henry Chinnick (9)
6, Eric H Brown (11)
7, Herbert Stubbings (13)
8, William Alfred White (15)
East side: 9 to 25 [no.17 is not listed in 1962]
9, Mrs Moss (17)
10, Inglenook, William Horrocks (19)
11, Lyndhurst, A A Gayne (21)
12, Littlecot, Frank Goring (23)
13, Alexander Scruby (25)
14, Emil Saraoja (27)
15, Ernest Field (29)
16, Walter Moss (31)
17, Allder Odell Vincent (33)
5 houses in course of erection (35, 37, 39, 41, 43)
King’s Pyno, Miss Hunter (45)
Lenborough, Alfred Winship (47)
25, Evermore, Joseph Hume (49)
Casa Verde, Mrs Wharton (51)
the End House, Mrs Weldale (53)
West side from Grantchester Street: 48 to 9. At this time Grantchester Street extended around the south end of Owlstone Road so the ennumeration of the West side would have run 48 to 9, south to north.
On the West side the houses in 1913 were (modern numbers in brackets):
48, Oakthorpe (54)
47, Ferndale (52)
46, Rockwood (50)
45 (48)
44, The Camp (46)
43 (44)
42 (42)
41 (40)
40, Twyford (38)
39, Crofton (36)
38, Rathmines (34)
37, Roscrea (32)
19 (30)
20 (28)
12, Bath House (26)
11 (24)
10 (22)
9 (20)
The ennumeration must have been rationalised into its current system quite soon afterwards because in 1915 we have a family living at 51 which did not exist in 1913.
