This is an attempt to trace the changing history of Mount Radford village street by charting the occupants of each property over the centuries. It is still under development but a preliminary book was published in January 2024:
Magdalen Road book cover.
Copies are available for £10.00, email ianmaxted@hotmail.co.uk for details. The book considerably updates the preliminary information on this page but, if you can help to fill some of the gaps or have any anecdotes or early photographs relating to the properties which could be included in an expanded community database, please contact me by email.
