Battersea Bridge Road

writes Possibly, but blaming someone who died in 1882 when postal district numbers didn't become part of postal addresses until 1932 or so seems more legend than fact. Well, it was Trollope who got the original Southern postal area removed, resulting in Vauxhall becoming part of the SE London postal area in 1868. It became SE11 around 1917 and that was retained when postcodes were introduced in the 1970s. So, while I wouldn't blame Trollope for the subsequent retention of the anomaly, it all resulted from his original recommendation. -- Paul Terry |
