My great grandfather William Eckersley died in 1913 at 4 Bowes Street Warrington, would anyone have any idea where this street was. Thank You.

If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html and put the coordinates 360580, 389170 in to the search boxes, it will centre the map on where Bowes Street was. If you select the 1927-1928 1:2500 map from the right hand side and zoom in you will see Bowes Street which is south off Forster Street east of Winnick Road.

Thanks so much Stan, I used to live in Warrington but wasn't interested in family history then, and when my Gran was alive I never asked her.  Chris.

If you go to https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/360630/389189/13/101329 you can see Bowes Street and the house numbers, you will have to change the zoom level using the -  in the top left hand corner.
