Please note Caldwell Street was called Holland Street in 1881 – see here.
Kelly’s Directory 1881 tells us that at 11 Holland street lived Mat Hubbard, a gardener.

Expanding on the info taken from Kelly’s Directory and looking at the Census we find out a little more…
Due to the fact that the Census for 1881 for this part of the street is damaged I have had to delve back in time to 1871 to see of Mr Hubbard is listed on that census and luckily he is. Mr Hubbard is listed along with his family, I have been unable to fill out the profession column as the original record is illegible.
1871 Census:
Name | Relation to head of household | Age | Year born | Town of birth | City of birth | Country of birth | Profession |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Matthew Hubbard | Head | 44 | abt 1827 | Camberwell | Surrey | England | ? |
Caroline Hubbard | Wife | 47 | abt 1824 | Selbourne | Hampshire | England | ? |
Alice Louis A Hubbard | Daughter | 13 | abt 1858 | Lambeth | Surrey | England | ? |
Caroline Amelia Hubbard | Daughter | 12 | abt 1859 | Lambeth | Surrey | England | ? |
Charles Mathew Hubbard | Son | 8 | abt 1863 | Lambeth | Surrey | England | ? |
Elizabeth Antis | Lodger | 41 | abt 1830 | Southgate | Middlesex | England | ? |
Mr Hubbard is also listed on the 1891 census, by then his first two children listed on the 1871 census have left home and the Hubbard’s now have a young son, Frederick. They also appear to have more lodgers, one of which is Mr Hubbard’s sister, Emily. The property was either a sizeable one or they all lived in rather cramped conditions. The latter is more likely as this was a working class street and a gardener would not earn a great amount in his career.
