Some more details via earlier thread: http://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php...30#pid7430
I like the picture halfway through the article with the caption:
Bray was born in 1879 in the leafy London suburb of Forest Hill, pictured, to solicitor's clerk Edmund Bray and his wife Mary
The picture is in black and white with car that look like the 1960s. Could the Mail not find more up to date photos from Forest Hill or are they trying to convince us that this is a photo from the time of Mr Bray (who died in 1939)?
Answers on a postcard?

Does anyone know which street it is in the 1960s photo?
(And yes, I'm puzzled by the photo from this era when Bray lived in the late 19th - early 20th century!).

Am not sure about the 60s photo - he was born in Stanstead Road apparently. The one of him posting himself would appear to be at 135 Devonshire Road. Source here:

I think it's Rockbourne Rd looking west towards Stanstead Rd, the flats at the end of the road near what was the Forest Hill Hotel. The road would not have been built over at the end then

It's The Daily Mail - what do you expect?
