port-glasgow old street names
« on: Wednesday 01 July 09 04:10 BST (UK) »
HI there

Some of my relatives in the early censuses 1881 and 1891 have the addresses Hunters close, and Dardanelles close, Dockhead Street Port-Glasgow. Does anyone know where  I can find an early  map showing these locations? I wonder if  by any chance  photos of these places exist .

Thanks Orkrad.

Thanks. I already have this book.  Someone  gave it to me last year.It made interesting reading but  I can't remember where I stored it! At the time when it was given to me  I  didn't know of the addresses I have recently found in the old censuses. I do remember it had pictures of Black Bull Close and a few other very dilapidated dwellings.

Hi

You could have a look at this website about Port Glasgow.  http://www.portglasgow4u.co.uk/oldphotos/index.html

My grannny was born and brought up in Dockhead Close which I think was probably near where Bay Street is now and I remember her taking about Hunters Close but can't think where it would be be. I have never heard of Dardanelles Close.

Thanks for the website. I am wondering if an old map exists that would record these details. Any idea where  I might try?
