Thank you for your clarification.

One source of information is the electoral registers which are lists of names of those entitled to vote at an election. This is available for personal consultation in printed form only. (Some internet services also use the electoral rolls but they usually require a name as well as the address - see website below). Separate registers are produced for each constituency.The printed registers are then arranged by polling district, normally by street in alphabetical order, within which properties are in street number order. This should help you locate the occupants of a particular address in any given year.

Earlier registers up to 2002 contain the names of all voters. But in 2003, two lists were produced - full and edited. The edited version is to protect the privacy of those who choose to opt out. One such resource is the British Library which holds a complete set for the whole country (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) from 1947.

The British Library has two London locations plus one in Yorkshire. If you wish to use their Reading Rooms, please contact them first to check which one to go to:

Alternatively you can see individual registers at local public libraries or at the office of the local Electoral Registration Officer (ERO). Because the access restrictions were introduced from 2003 to protect requested privacy, the ERO should be consulted to check what local access arrangements is for the full registers as explained here -
