Hi Richard, You're right. I have just looked at my old Pawson & Brailsford 1900 Map and it does show it on that as well. I didn't bother looking at any of my maps of this period because Marion mentioned the 1840s so my 1849 map was the obvious choice. The road had been shortened considerably though in the 51 years between 1849 and 1900. Best Wishes Jeremy Crawshaw (Temp.

Hi Jeremy, I think it's fascinating that you can still see traces of where roads and lanes used to be, even in the depths of cities like Sheffield. Of course in some places they've so radically changed the street layout that it's difficult to get your bearings, but there are a lot of clues to where our ancestors lived and worked. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember some of the older streets! Perhaps the fact that I lived away from Sheffield for so many years, has left those memories intact. I find that I try to drive along streets that used to link up, but don't go where I expect them to go, these days! Or they're one way streets now! :-) Cheers Richard Jeremy Crawshaw wrote: > Hi Richard, > > You're right.
