Hi Ruth, Smithy Door and Old Shambles were still around in 1844. I will send you a map of these streets. Actually Smithy Door was just across the street from Old Shambles. They were both market areas.

I am having difficulty finding John Street Cottages in Ardwick and wonder if I could ask Mike or someone else to help me find this on a Manchester map for the period 1825-1840? Thanks, Noel Luke Phoenix, AZ

I have a map showing John Street in Ardwick, but not specifically the cottages. John St runs between Stockport Rd and South St. If you want the image, I can send it off list. (Dont want to pinch Mike's job!!)
