Where in the town of Ware?
« on: Saturday 04 June 05 09:47 UTC (UK) »

Hi All,

My Great Granduncle had a boot and shoe shop at "Bridgefoot" Ware.

I am trying to find this place on a current map of Ware - I have old photos saying they are taken from the eastern end of High St, looking towards "Bridgefoot" - so know its general area - but where in Ware!!


Does anyone know of a current picture of this area?

Cheers

Hi Darcy,

Thanks for that link - but I had been there - good site but not with the information I need!

It even has a Street search engine - but Bridgefoot is not in that either.

But thanks for trying.

Cheers

Hi Sandie,

Thats it!!

Many thanks for that link - think that means "MY" shop is opposite this new development - better get a photo of that before they knock it down!!

I am trying to get some old/new photos of the same buildings - any other links??

Cheers
