Anyone living in or near Ely, Cambridge?
« on: Sunday 17 October 04 09:11 BST (UK) »
Hi do any of you live in Ely or near enough to Ely to check something out for me.

I have an old will of my g-g-g-grandfather and he seems to have been in possession of 6 cottages or tenements. They abutted Deacon's Lane on the north and New Barn's Walk on the east. Both roads do exist still and they do join so I know the area but would love to know if the buildings are still there.
Or  is there a multi storey car park???!!!
If possible could someone take a picture?  I much appreciate this as I live in Ireland and my distant cousin lives in Australia and nither of us can get there for our selves.  I do hope someone wouldn't mind taking the time and trouble to do this for me. Thanks Anjo.

Hi Anjo, I have only just read this post. I live in Ely so I went to check it out.
Sorry to say the properties are no longer standing, though buildings were still being shown on the 1975 map of Ely, so I guess they were demolished after then. The site now forms the corner of the Paradise Sports Field (better than a multi-storey car park!)
I took some photos of the area if you would like me to send them to you just let me know where to. Cheers.
