Find Ancestors

If you use the website

www.streetmap.co.uk

and search for Queens Place, Watford, you should find the road arrowed, and at the bottom the coordinates which are, I think, 511260,196947

If you then use www.old-maps.co.uk with search using those coordinates you will find some old maps displayed which may show the road, or possibly what it was previously known as, if the name has changed.

You can see where the road is as the railway lines are obvious in both.

In 1911 there were at least 200 households, how many are you trying to research?

Do you believe it was all built in one go, or gradually, by looking at the architecture of it from street view?

There doesn't appear to be a Queens Place on the 1901/1911 censuses neither is there one showing to present day

There is a Queens Terrace

Gins -
there are lots of present day online references to Queens Place.
Houses for sale, etc.

And it's on Google Streetview - looks like a Victorian terrace.

Sorry, reading Queens Road not Queens Place.
Did not tick exact for ancestry.

Runs into Gladstone, which might give a rough age.

Queens Road was built 1850, so presumably Queens Place was about then or a bit later - architecture style is similar.

In the year 1850 a local board of health was formed, the town population being then about 6,500, and, immediately afterwards, the first new streets out of High Street were opened, King Street on the west, and Queen's Road on the east, the latter being eventually carried down to the station.

Thanks for all replies. Greatly appreciated!
Looking particularly at no3 if possible.

It does look either Victorian/Edwardian in age/appearance. I presume that the current name has always been that, but may have changed at some point. It does run into Gladstone.

Thanks again,

From the same link above, it sounds as if Queens Place was built around 1850 -1871 -ish:

The opening of the branch line to St. Albans in 1858, and that to Rickmansworth in 1862 marked important advances, and the erection of the large buildings of the London Orphan Asylum on the rising ground near the station, helped to bring the town into greater prominence.
In 1871 the town population had risen to about 12,000, the extension being chiefly confined to the district opened up by Smith Street, the two new thoroughfares, Queen's Road and Clarendon Road, which gave access to the station, and also along the line of St. Albans Road.
