Hi Barry
Cant find a streetmap with them on,but found this extract from the This is Bradford web site.
Bradford had its poets’ corner, too, though Chaucer Street, Cowper Street and Southey Street are now gone from Otley Road. Further up the hill, though, and protected from demolition by distance, Byron and Browning Roads still stand.
Try this link as well, if you can manage to enlarge the image I think it gives Cowper Street

Hope this helps

Has anybody got a very old streetmap or a very long memory ? I would like to know where Coleridge Place (and Chaucer Place and Cowper Place) was in Bradford and also where Sun Place was in Baildon.
I remembered I had an Alan Godfrey OS map of Bradford in 1906 and found these streets, with help from friends on ENG-YKS-BRADFORD-L Rootsweb, in an area which was apparently called Poets Corner but on the map is Hillside Villas. It is just south of Undercliffe Cemetary, off Butler Street which is off Barkerend Road. Butler Street is still there, sort of, being bisected by the new Otley Road into Butler Street East and West but the estate has been demolished around 1964 and replaced with a school and a college.
