Trewartha Park - House numbering published by Paul Tregelles on Tue, 31/01/2017 - 7:52
Is anyone aware of the house numbering of this road changing in 1912?
I see that there were 13 houses recorded in 1910 & 1911 but in 1912 this increased to 39. Also of the original residents only 2 (nos 1 & 3) appear at the same house number with the others not living there anymore or in the case of 8 residents living at a different number house. Either they all moved to different houses which is unlikely or, the numbering changed.
If you look at the O.S map for Weston produced in the 1880s and compare it with a modern map you can see that the road positioning has changed and Trewartha Park was lengthened to meet up with Bristol Road Lower from its original end at the junction with Montpelier East. When the new houses were built - possibly about 1912 the road would have required renumbering.
