    3. Thanks, Jack. Looks like I would need to study the street maps, and then see what the area looks like now. Does anybody know if the present buildings on the old Biddulph Street are modern, or 19th century?

There was some bomb damage in the Highfields area but the alterations to Biddulph Street were part of the council's and planner's changes - I would guess around the late 1960s - somebody can no doubt tell us exactly when. The street was chopped into parts and the cut off sections were given the names of the streets they adjoined. Regards, Jack Allen
