I have a 1896 map of Chiswick that was reproduced by Alan Godfrey It shows Cranbrook Road with only a few houses. Half way down of the unbuilt road there is an area with some buildings marked and almost exactly where the house my Great, Great, Great Uncle bought is a box with an X through it. Does anyone know how to find out what it may have been? It looks like it may have been an outbuilding and part of Tower House. I know from checking the Census that only some of Cranbrook road was listed in 1901 and most of the rest of the road was included in 1911. The house numbers in the 1901 Census suggest that the land had been bought, but the old buildings hadn't been knocked down. I guess the answers I am looking for are somewhere in the National Archives, but I am not really sure what I am looking for. Has anyone researched the history of a road, can you give me any advise where to go and what documents to look for? The advise on the National Archive website is a bit vague.
