had a son, James, in 1868 and four grandchildren. Legacy Present day South Norwood, in the London Borough of Croydon, has a Balfour Road which is named after Jabez Balfour. So does Ilford, Essex, where Balfour Road is on the former Ilford Lodge estate, bought for development by Balfour's group. In the same area Wellesley Road is named after his Croydon house and Morland Road after the road where Hobbs and Co, the builders, had their offices in Croydon. Also nearby is Granville Road: Granville was the middle name of the group's solicitor. His name has, however, been erased from the memorial plaques at Croydon University Hospital (formerly Mayday Hospital). Croydon Road and Tamworth Road in Arthur's Hill, Newcastle upon Tyne, were built using funds invested in the Liberator Building Society and named in tribute to Balfour.
