Star Place

Postby Perkins » Thu Jul 16, 2020 5:38 pm

Please could someone help me find the location of Star Place? My G Grandfather lived at 3 Star Place on the 1901 census and I have tried to locate where this is exactly so I can find it on Charles Booths poverty map.
It sat within ED9 and from later Electoral Roll records I believe it was located off Bermondsey Street. I also have seen on one old map that the bend in the road at the south end of Bermondsey street was Star Corner but the housing marked there on Booths map is not poor. I was expecting Star Place to have poor housing as there is a Report on the sanitary condition of the Borough of Bermondsey for the year 1910, and in it Star Place is listed as requiring special inspection.
I would really appreciate some help. Many thanks.

Hi Perkins, welcome to the site.
Star Place was off Marigold Court, now Cluny Place, which is next to the Marigold Pub and off Bermondsey Street. If you look in the Bermondsey Street Topic (page 3) there is a picture of the Marigold Pub.
