If so, do you know if 14 Blundell Street still exists? I have found a relative born here in 1872 and would dearly love a photograph of the building if it still exists. If you do live in Islington, could you let me know if this address still exists? Many thanks Lesley Marriott

Sorry to say Lesley that FRC is not near your street so you probably need someone who lives locally. Had a similar thing myself - when we got there the whole street was intact except about 10 houses now a block of flats - guess where mine was! Hope you have more luck. Maz. XX

Hi Lesley I tried to look up 14 Blundell Street, London N7 on the Royal Mail web site (www.royalmail.com) but it did not show. Why don't you write to "the occupier" 14 Blundell Street, you may be lucky and get a response! Joan

Leslie, Try putting this address on the webiste called ExResidents. They have a section on historical addresses. It also costs nothing!

I live in Islington, I am afraid that 14 Blundell Street no longer exists, it is now called ED Excel Foundation it is 8-50 Blundell Street. Its a shame as the only houses, flats that are left on Blundell Street are actually odd numbers. hope this helps.
