Westminster Road is read from the 1905 directory's street section, line by line. Westminster Road is Kingsway today, with different numbers: the directories print the old name up to 1912. We've matched some of the old numbers to today's lots using the City's 1912 fire insurance map, but not 2823 (inferred).
The house today
Westminster Road is Kingsway today, with different numbers, and the City's 1912 fire insurance map doesn't tie 2823 to one of today's lots, so whether this house survives, we haven't found yet.
