7 Jeffreys St

Numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 Jeffreys St were built as Molesworth Place, sometimes called Moleworth Place. This set of buildings reached around the corner to Kentish Town Rd, which is where the first buildings in this arrangement were completed in 1821. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 Molesworth Place were redesignated as part of Kentish Town Road in 1863, with the rest of the houses becoming part of Jeffrey's St in 1881.

Joan at number 9, who had lived on the street 70 years, said that there is a stone with the date 1766 above the arch in what is now the hall of no 7. It is hidden under the plaster. Perhaps the house was re-modeled from an earlier building, or, perhaps the stone was taken from a recently demolished house set back from Kentish Town rd.
