Title: COMPLETED Gateshead Old Streets. Maps?
Post by: intelfam on Tuesday 10 February 15 15:57 GMT (UK)
Hi,
My father, Harry Holliday, was b. 1909  in Nile St, Sunderland Road, Gateshead.
I would like to get a map of the area from e.g. Alan Godfrey Ltd, but I cannot tie this now demolished street down enough to identify the map I need.  Any help appreciated!
Ian

Welcome to Rootschat
You can see Nile Street on this map http://maps.nls.uk/view/101099468#zoom=5&lat=5877&lon=2156&layers=BT just to the east of the cemetery.

You can also see Nile Street on the 1:2,500 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/426310/562399/12/101064 you may need to zoomout twice to see the map. Go to full screen mode to see more of the area.

Hi Ian,
Saw your enquiry regarding Nile St. In Gateshead asked a couple of years ago. I was standing at the bottom of Nile St. With Sunderland Rd. taking a photo of (what was) Frank Terrace (long gone) where my grandfather lived in the 1880/90's. I am quite happy to go there again and take a photo of Nile St. if you are interested. If you have the street number I can take a photo of the house.
Regards, Paul

Nile Street is no longer there, it was between Herbert Street and Moore Street as shown on the old map I posted. Present aerial view https://goo.gl/maps/Cwda5nsKARx

 You can see a photograph of the demolition of Nile Street at http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/SearchResults/SearchResults#5

Thanks Stan, you are right. I was actually at the foot of Howe St. not Nile St. taking the photograph. Apologies.
Paul

Anybody any idea where Taylor Terrace was in Gateshead?

Possibly Mount Pleasant Area off Split Crow Road?

Taylor Terrace was Split Crow Road, see the 1896 Town Plan at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/426203/561959/13/100511

You don't have to subscribe, just change the zoom level with the - in the top left corner. You can see later maps which show the name change.
