I live at Flat 1, I Block, Duchy St, London SE1 8AR. Amazed to find Mr George Brown, very familiar to me as I was born in 1954, was born in my block. Does anybody know what Flat 22 equals today, when there are now just 14 flats in this block? (I know my flat used to be two in 1870). Thanking you, Joe FitzGerald
