A list of difficult or vanished addresses for modern researchers. If you can't find the address you are looking for, check parts 1-3 available here, here, and here and part five is here
Check out the Specific Shops, Streets etc option on the top drop down menu for more detailed posts about premises or streets. Note location is as given in contemporary sources with notes on modern interpretation of these where possible. Addresses given in historic sources as Glade Road, Cromwell Garden(s) estate (from 1898), or New Town are also very possibly in adjacent roads in our eyes. Thames Bank can refer to Mill Road as a street address, not necessarily to the house of that name. Many houses change name several times and there can be more than one house bearing the same moniker - including at the same time! Many larger Marlow houses were let as apartments or for the summer or "river season".

Claremont Gardens Estate - properties built on the gardens and meadow formerly belonging to Cromwell House. The House ceased to be a private residence and had converted to use as post office. Cromwell Road was the first road laid down (1898 by Lovell's the builders. 23 building plots over the estate in general were offered at auction a couple of months later), followed by Claremont Rd. However for some years those living in properties in this area often gave their address as Claremont Garden Estate rather than a specific street name, and some also added Glade Rd or just used that. Glade Rd was a well established address so perhaps they felt it safer to use that than the names of roads that took time to be officially adopted into use.
Cobham Cottage - New Town
