If you check google earth (google Bridge Street Banbury) you get a marker for the Pawpaw pub/restaurant which is on the corner of Bridge Street and Mill Lane at No 59 - in 1901 this was a Temperance Hotel. It is possible that the living quarters was on Mill Lane. This would work with the positioning of the house. Have you looked at the 1901 page - it is very strange in adjoining properties you have a pub landlady, a publican (John Grantham) then Edwin Grantham - which would his property nearest to the Wharf. Mill Lane now runs into what looks like a shopping complex and the properties behind the Pawpaw have been demolished Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Neil Grantham Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 8:18 PM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler Wendy Many thanks for checking that for me (and the photo evidence sent separately).

Hi Wendy I know where Bridge Street is. I live in the area, and visit Banbury quite a lot with my job. Castle Quay has a lot to answer for in terms of my family! Mill Lane AND Factory Street were demolished to make way for it! Factory Street was where a lot of canal boat owners seemed to live. The name crops up a lot in my ancestors records. (A lot of Canal history) That Google Map is quite strange (but helpful), in that it overlays the old streets that were under where the shops are now - so it shows Mill Lane, which actually ran West/East and in to another North/South section, which is the bit that remains, and is now the Bus Station, with the Pawpaw on the corner. Not sure what 1901 page you are referring to?   I've also found a the old maps website very helpful (http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html), that show Banbury in various eras. On some I can just about make out property numbers.   Neil   ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy King <wendyking37@hotmail.com> To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Cc: Sent: Thursday, 25 August 2011, 22:31 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler If you check google earth (google Bridge Street Banbury) you get a marker for the Pawpaw pub/restaurant which is  on the corner of Bridge Street and Mill Lane at No 59 - in 1901 this was a Temperance Hotel.
