Could anyone with a decent collection please pin down when Southwell Rd HA3
was built?

It is not shown in my 1948 Bartholomew Reference Atlas (which also shows
the top end of adjacent Shaftesbury Avenue as still under construction.

It still doesn't appear in the 1961 edition, although Shaftesbury Avenue
is clearly completed by then.

Southwell Road *does* appear in my 1988 Geographia - so some time
between 1961 and 1988 look likely. Hope that helps - perhaps someone
else can pin the date down more precisely.

I can narrow the dates down a little: it's in the 1981 AA Greater
London Street Atlas, but not in the Geographia Greater London Atlas 11th
edition, which I have pencilled in as 1963. Why are street atlases so
often undated but have NEW emblazoned across the covers?

Incidentally and somewhat OT, I note from the Bartholomew Pocket London
Atlas 1939 that in the period 1937-9 Vaughan Road, Lambeth, was renamed
Southwell Road. I wonder why.
