If you look at the 1871 six inch map, what is, and presumably was, Vine Street runs at right angles from London Road roughly NE through the "S" in "Silk Mill" eventually linking with what was to become Grove Street.

The three streets running between Commercial Road and Chapel Street - Hazel Street, Grove Street and Co-operative Street give a clue as to who built them!

I think Stockport Heritage Library has some early 1:1250 maps and I have to go past there to have my teeth examined later this week, perhaps I'll call in and see.

Thanks emeltom and arthurk.

Would those be this week's, latest, once in a lifetime, buy it now, final offer, 25% off, Ancestry DNA markers?

Wow, thank you hanes teulu, you have answered another query as we weren't sure if the collector had a bike or not.

Regards.

My late father used the bus or walked but penny meters had been phased out by the time he started the job. By the time he finished, in 1983, he drove a van and supervised a gang of collectors meeting up with them to take the money and hand out more work.

Nostalgia simply isn't what it used to be! (Actually it was thought to be a disease suffered by sailors away from home for months/years at a time.)

Hmmmmm....

It looks like they've been messing around with it again. As of mid-morning, it no longer works with Safari but it seems OK using the iOS version and Firefox.

They accepted it wouldn't work with Safari several years ago but they fixed it.

Thanks for looking.

........ and there was no distortion whatsoever in cameras made in the early 20C, and there is no such thing as depth of field, and there's no chance whatsoever of a pure amateur getting acceptable results, and distortion can't be corrected on the computer, and if we hadn't had such a thing as trial and error, photography would never have been invented in the first place.

What the o/p wants is a half decent and cheap copy of the photograph, not forensic exhibit.

As I said, matter closed.
