Thanks Hilary for replying. I have read it though, and it doesn't tell you when it disappeared, or what it turned into, what is on that spot now. I was hoping to find it on an old map, but no luck so far. Thanks again Lisa xx

http://www.the-archer(.)co.uk/history/what'sinname.html Excerpt: 'The centre of population shifted eastward as Finchley Common was built over to form Chapel Street (disappeared), ' http://myweb.tiscali(.)co.uk/tonylondon/pages/locintro.htm Has similar article with a note next to Chapel St - 'Cottages in Long Lane (western side, the eastern is yet later) , Trinity and Manor Park Roads were built at the same time as the track and were very much part of the same development.'

Lisa I'm not sure if you'll find it on the Victorian A-Z street guide, but it's worth a try http://www.gendocs.demon.*co.uk/lon-str.html#HOME Christine

Could anyone tell me when Chapel Street in East Finchley disappeared? Or better still, Bedford Cottages. I have searched and searched, but can't find where it was. All I know is that it was near the Market Place, and is no longer there. Some ancestors of mine lived there on a few censuses. Any information at all would be a great help. Thankyou so much Lisa xx
