Just wondering if anyone would know where Perricroft Villas Long Ashton is or was. I cannot seem to find the information and have found relatives living there on the 1939 register and wanted to know more. Thanks

try the spelling Perrycraft

I can't find anything re Perricroft or Perrycraft in Long Ashton.
There's a Perry Road nowadays, but don't know if that's relevant.

What was the name of your relatives, please?

Neighbouring addresses may provide a clue.

PERRYCROFT. Not shouting - just trying to make clear the spelling

FMP provides map info for 1939 results

Lookng at the 1939 images - the villas are on Perrycroft Avenue

In the vicinity is Chapel Lane

Google Maps show a Perrycroft Avenue in Bishopsworth, Bristol, not far from a Chapel Road (I don't see a Chapel Lane close by )

Bishopsworth seems to be close to Long Ashton.

By searching the 1939 register on Ancestry for people living in Bishopsworth, with keyword Perrycroft, I've now found Perrycroft Avenue entries in the Register.
They weren't showing up when I searched for people in Long Ashton, with keyword Perrycroft.

And yes, Perrycroft Villas are there, as part of Perrycroft Avenue.
But in Bishopsworth, not strictly Long Ashton, although it comes under the general heading of Long Ashton for 1939 purposes.

Just for interest and confirmation - mention of Perrycroft Villas in the press (by chance, in 1939):


Bristol Evening Post Bristol, England

sorry - blame my dyslexic fingers - I meant Perrycroft

Sorry I have just realised I never said a thank you to all of you.
Perry croft villas were in Bishopsworth not Long Ashton so you were a great help. Many thanks
