Hi. I wonder if anyone can help Please. According to the Census 1861 ,1871, 1881  , my GGGreat Grandparents lived at Coal Pit Lane, Pulverbatch. Can anyone tell me where Coal Pit Lane is and would the houses my ancestors lived in still be there Many Thanks Dave SHELDON

Hello David According to my gazetteer Coalpit Lane was at Wrentnall, Church Pulverbatch which is about half a mile NNW of Church Pulverbatch. If you look at the British History Online web site at http://www.british-history.ac.uk then Maps > Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 > England - Shropshire > 040/SE which hopefully will come up using this link http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55135&sheetid=7358&ox=4350&oy=2900&zm=2&czm=2&x=610&y=410 You should find Coalpit Lane in the extreme bottom right hand corner. Looking at a modern Ordnance Survey Map you need the road which runs east from Wrentnall to The Gorse and Moat Farm. Without visiting the site I don't know the age of the present day properties but you probably want to start by looking at the houses at Map Ref: SJ 441 034.
