24 and 25 Bellevue Rd

JP (2017, e.2020):

These are two privately occupied houses, with steps leading up to the front doors. No.24 has recently [2020?] been sold. At one time they formed the boundary between Wandsworth and Battersea.

[PB: Add a map etc this boundary, and perhaps on the road between Tooting and Battersea that once ran along it.]

Corris 1787, Battersea, with approx. positions of future Bellevue and St James's Drive marked. Corris shows no path or track even roughly corresponding to Bellevue.

Notice, incidentally, Earl Spencer's encroachments (outlined in red) along the future Bolingbroke Grove. Also the "Ghost Road" crossing and re-crossing the parish boundary - it is not the future Trinity Road. It would have emerged more or less exactly half way between the future Wiseton and Althorp Roads [today's building numbers 22 and 23? [23 and 24?]].
