It does not appear to be there. Do you know whereabouts it was in Chester?

Are you sure it is not Hough Green? In the 1914 Directory there is a Thomas Shandon Hignett in Hough Green, now the A5104. There is no number for his house but it is on the south side before number 13.

Yes i am sure the T.H.Hignett is at that address in 1902/6/10
The only thing I can think of is the name was changed.Unfortunately our libraries don't have any 1900's for All of Cheshire or I could it up.

Hello Celia,
I lived at number 15 Hough Green, Chester at one time. The houses along this road are much the same as when they were built. They are all substantial Victorian, or Edwardian, houses in good sized grounds.
Due to their large size, some have been converted to hotels, one is a Youth Hostel. A few have been split up in flats.
