Gill's Court, Salford

[Toronto]

Hi Red,
I have attached Smith street which was just above the prison. But Hargreave street you dont say if this is Salford or Manchester. Do you have any other nearby street names you can give me?

Hi Red
An interesting point - if a Constable William Maloney/Moloney/Malone should crop up in the records I would love to know!

I did notice to the south of the prison a place named Nangreave street. No chance this is the correct street................. is there Its close to Hampson and Oldham street and west of Ordsall lane.

Mike, thank you for your prompt reply, the only info i can glean from the 1881 census is that the two previous neighbours addresses are 29 & 27, West Duke St.

I have tried to locate west Duke street Salford in the 1881 census set I have, but had  no luck. Seeing as you were able to provide this street name when you opened the 1881 census. Then please search through 'Neighbours' and look for other street names. I did locate a Duke street running off Gravel lane in Salford but not west Duke street.

Hi
I've lost the thread of this thread a little bit now    but there is a West Duke St in the area you have mentioned with Nangreave St and Hampson St.  This is on the later map of the area (Manchester SW, 1894). Bury's Building isn't named as such, but one whole side of the Street is taken up by Ordsall Lane Mills. This would be a noisy place to live!

Thank you , I see it now on my 1894 map, I shall now look on my 1844 map to see if there is anything that shows thats not in the 1894 map.

West Duke was not developed in this area in the 1844 map of Salford. But interestingly there is a Berry Building near by. I wonder if this is your Bury Building? I have marked the area that West Duke street appears in in 1894.

I see that this is an old post but I was directed to it when I Googled "Harding's Buildings" and have picked up the map image (thank you)

When I look at the 1861 census P2915, F32, Pg26 there are a number of families at No.19 including mine. Might anyone know what kind of dwelling might it have been if they all have the same dwelling number? What was the quality of the housing like in this part of Salford? It was between the railway and a canal but that does not necessarily make it a slum.

There were slums for sure and the Blitz took its toll of all manner of buildings and then there was the 1960's the "White Heat of Technology" and the love affair with the car, all of which means no Harding's Buildings to examine today.

Just curious.

Happy Hunting
