The Woodman pub, 181 High Road, Lee, Kent

· the author does not have Alexander Anthony’s exact place of birth (1844), but his father was living at this pub in 1840, so there is a fair chance he was born here

18 George Street, Greenwich, Kent

· it has not been possible to find the original house – apparently King George Street is a renumbered composite of three partial of George Streets, and 17A (the next house on the census sheet) would have been down near the east end by the park

· this house however is a possible candidate

the row of houses in Roan Street, Greenwich, Kent that Alexander Anthony owned

· the plaque over the houses, 1846, is presumably the year they were built

· two of his descendants still live there

· his cousin William Jacob Smith Durham lived in Roan Street in the 1860’s – his 2nd son (the author’s grandfather’s brother) was born there, and his 1st wife died there – but there is no indication as to where in the street, and whether he lived in a pub or in a house – however, the cemetery record for his wife’s burial mentions THE GREY COAT BOY pub, which is further down the street ► DURHAM PUBS

· the houses were built while the law still forbade the now-standard construction of roofs with slates/tiles extending beyond the walls, so the whole row has a front wall that carries on up above the eaves, which creates a flat area of roof to leak

4 Nevada Street (formerly Silver Street), Greenwich, Kent

· this house was eventually sold to pay death duties in the 1970’s

St Alphege Passage (formerly Church Passage), Greenwich, Kent

· Alexander Anthony is variously recorded as owning nos. 1-4 OR nos. 12,13,16 – perhaps they are the same houses, having been renumbered

southwest end, corner of Roan Street

northeast end, corner of Evelyn Street, A206, next to the church of St Alphege

· the shops shown are not part of St Alphege Passage

· 31 HADDO STREET, GREENWICH, KENT CAN’T BE FOUND ON GOOGLE – PERHAPS THERE ARE FLATS THERE TODAY
