Streetmap Needed - Bradford, Manchester, 1911
« on: Friday 28 August 09 16:01 UTC (UK) »

Hi all,

I've just paid online for the 1911 census of my great-grandfather, and am interested to know if the house or street he lived in is still there. He lived at 65 Wellington Street, Bradford, Manchester.

Can anyone please help me find a map for Bradford (Manchester) in 1911?

Thanks!   Smiley

Cannot do 1911, but a 1930s map  shows Wellington street running north from Ashton Old Road to Grey Mare Lane. No.557 Ashton Old Road is slightly to the east of the Wellington St junction; there is a school and a small 'Rec. Gd.' at the corner. Another near landmark is a church in Whyatt St.
If you want a scan, send me a pm with your email address, but you may get something nearer the date you want.

My great grandfather lived at 109 Wellington Street. Manchester City Council Engineering Department might be able to help. They are online.

The only Wellington Street that I can find in that area is in section 3d of the 1930 street map, just over the 'E' of Hyde Road. There may be another, but at the moment, if there is, it eludes me. Maybe Gorton came under the Bradford area for census purposes. Gorton is adjacent to Bradford.
My grandfather was born in Daniel Street, Bradford, by the way, and I worked down the pit at Bradford colliery for some years. Don't recall a Wellington Street in the area. I'll keep checking when I have a bit of spare time.

Thank you very much Eric. I do know that Bradford is near Gorton. It is funny you should talk about coal mining. I was watching this not two minutes ago

Which pit were you in?

Sorry, Eric. I didn't read properly. I see you worked at Bradford Pit. I never even knew there was a pit in the middle of Manchester. I feel embarrassed about that. I now see that there is a lot of information online about Bradford Pit.
