Stirling Street in Merivale – formerly Constance Street. Constance Street is first mentioned in The Press in 1903 in a report of a meeting of the St Albans Borough Council. First appears in street directories in 1906. Re-named Stirling Street on 1 September 1948 when 120 streets were re-named.
A small amount of information from the library website. I searched Ancestry websites and Papers Past but I couldn’t find out how the street got it’s names. Albert Cox did have a daughter Eva Constance Cox and they lived on Constance Street. Colin Campbell Aikman was from Scotland so it is possible this is why it was changed to Stirling Street. The Ancestry website family trees didn’t give me enough information.
Under Constance Street it was mostly ads and death notices. The Cox family were mentioned occasionally. After 1948 it was again mostly death notices and death notices. Several Stirling Streets throughout the country.
Most houses here were built in 2000 and 2005 with one built in 1970 and a couple built in 1980. The only house that I took a photo of was built in 1910 and it is being renovated. I took a screenshot of it from street view as well. The other houses on the street were modern and boring but not quite toilet block style.
