Bridport Street

[spurbro]

Hi.Can anybody tell me if Bridport Street Marylebone still exists if not when was it demolished.Thanks

I cannot find a mention of this on any modern atlas or map, book or online. A 1950s atlas of London mentions Bridport Street, NW1, too small to be marked but close to Broadley Terrace, which still exists.
Here http://london1868.com/weller27.htm above Blandford Square, you can see these, Bridport Street running North - South, Broadley Terrace west - east.
There's no mention of Bridport Street on this http://www.rayment.info/general/road_name_changes/index.html list of London street name changes, so I assume the street has been demolished / re-deveoped.
Hope this info helps.

The latest mention I've found of Bridport Street is in an early 1970s street atlas.

Evidence of this Street in 1861, under the Marylebone section, para 2: http://www.victorianlondon.org/publications/raggedlondon-thenorth.htm

And searching for Marylebone here, and scrolling through the list of maps from different periods on the right might allow you to "now you see it, now you don't":

Failing that - try emailing Westminster Council Town Planning Dept and ask the question:

Or search historic planning applications the area which might give you some clues IF the demise of the street was recent enough:

Bridport street is slap where they built Marlybone Station so doesn't exist anymore. If you go to google maps and enter ' Boston Place W1 London' as a search term you will be able to see an ariel view of the city as it is now (Boston Place remains unchanged so it's an easy reference point and very close) and compare it to the map provided by Echokilo and see that the station complex etc now inhabits the site where it once was. The whole ' Balndford Square' area was redeveloped.

No, I'm a flaming vampire I never sleep ;-) just embark on random genealogical quests in the dead of night .

You and me too NOX .... drives me crazy ..... always think "just have a little nose and then go back to sleep......" and 3 hours later .................! (apologies, Spurbro, for hijacking your question with nocturnal ramblings - but hopefully we have helped too!)

Spurbro - come back if you want me to expand my answers. Other answers given are incorrect.
