Hi,

Not my area, but from previous experience, I would contact the Local History Dept at Hexham Library, and ask them if they have any information.  They might be able to find it on old maps or  old photos for instance.

Good luck,

I would contact the Local History Dept at Hexham Library,

There is a very good Local History section in Hexham Library, but you would have to visit it yourself to do the research - there is no dedicated Librarian in charge.

I have got a list of old street names of Hexham, and Round Close doesn't feature on it

It need not be a street ... in fact a quick Google suggests it was an acre of land http://tinyurl.com/d66f25z

and http://tinyurl.com/d882ys5

also

"Two acres of arable meadow in Round Close on Hexham east fields bounded by the Kings Way on the east"

For some reason I assumed it was a street name - could A-lady give some idea of the source and context of the information please?

I have put word out to my Northumbrian spies. This one sounds interesting at first glance.

There are some maps of Hexham here;

http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/Hexham_C14.htm

I am looking through them myself at the moment.

When word gets back to me I'll let you know what comes up if anything.
