It says William Henry born 1880 Lyn.

1939 register.

1921 census. Not sure this is who you are looking for.

On the 1939 Register he is at 3bk68 New Summer Street.

In 1921 he was living at Court 10, 3 House, New Summer Street.

I decided to start researching Belgrave Place today, I googled the history of the place and this was part of the AI response. Below it is part of my comments submitted just yesterday on the Park Crescent thread. Amazing similarity !

Assuming the data can be posted I will explain how I used it to arrive at the conclusion these houses were Park Crescent. 1841, 5 entries. 1851, 9. 1861, 9. 1871 to 1901, 12. 1911, 15. The 1848 tithe map showed 8 houses, this was confusing as the 1851 & 1861 censuses showed 9. This was resolved...

Was Evelyn his wife?

Thanks Mark, I looked at the shops around Sladefield road but none of them appeared to fit, there's only 1 and a half bricks separating the first floor windows on the original.

If it is actually in the vicinity indicated by Google there's a good chance it is still standing. The photo has a few clues but unfortunately all the shops in that area now have shutters and large name boards which would cover the smaller upper windows (if they still exist). There are loaves in...

I can only identify the location for these 2 shops in Kelly's 1955 directory.
