Tomorrow I am taking some American relatives to Malvern to visit the birthplace of the father of one of them - William Reginald Walford, born 1893 in Malvern. I am pretty sure the address he was born at was Grove Cottage, Chase Estate. Could anyone tell me whether this location still exists? If not, whereabouts would it have been?

Thanks in advance
Craig

Thanks for advice. What I actually meant was whether anyone knows if these addresses were re-named? Eg Poolend Street in Malvern changed to Court Rd in the 1890s.

The address on the 1891 census states Groves Cottages Chase Estate
and there were 6 families living in Grove Cottages
I would assume that the Grove Cottage that is there today on the site of the original cottages
1901 census the Walfords lived in Myrtle Cottage 2 door away from Grove Cottage
