(Porters Town was an area of new housing that commenced 1870s - a grid of roads - Coleman Street being one of them. It was the expansion of Prittlewell down towards the sea, i.e. the South End of Prittlewell - this is how Southend on Sea got its name. Perhaps as Richard and family were there for the 1871 census the roads may not have been named or any house numbers available - or perhaps just that the enumerator just entered the area a habit I have come across before with census data...? ) (Certainly Richard and Elizabeth with their 2 young daughters chose to live in a new modern house)
