Can anyone help please? I used to have a document on my PC which listed all of the streets in the different wards of Newcastle for the different census'. Said document has disappeared and I wondered if anyone knows of a same or similar list. I have tried for hours searching online without any luck.

Do you mean the Archives:Historical Streets Project,
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0yeo/
This link works https://goo.gl/5Fxgk2
This includes Street Indexes for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses.

Gives a 404, Stan. I think it's been archived. A quick search and click on the various census year links and they'll come up:

Although it shows the A-Bs on the listing, if you click on the link, you can scroll down to the Newcastle ones.

That's the fault of the RootsChat Shrink Link, I should have checked it. This one works https://goo.gl/5Fxgk2

Old links are nuisance - found some others the other day.
Think the relevant section in your link is:
Browsing
Go to the relevant Category to see which registration districts are included - those which have been indexed will have the format Place:name of registration district, census year street index, for example Place:Chelsea Registration District, 1851 Census Street Index:
Category:1841 census registration districts
Category:1851 census registration districts
Category:1861 census registration districts
Category:1871 census registration districts
Category:1891 census registration districts
Click on the letter of the alphabet that you want to go to.

It is not an old link, I did it for the post using the RootsChat Shrink Link. I Have had this problem before with the RootsChat one, and I always check the link works, but forgot to do it this time.

That's interesting Stan.
The only difference in the full links is a %20 in the first one and a + in the other. Wonder why ???
I've only had problems with very long links before but will check in future.

Gadget and stanmapstone,
Thank you for replying. The link worked fine.

Short, non techy answwer:
I believe the links were generated from the results of a search query, the search term was possibly/probably street index (two words, with a space in the middle).
Though we recognise spaces between words, urls don't so they either stick in %20 or + to represent the space.
Longer, more techy answer

I think I'd fallen asleep before I read your answer, Boo ;D
I think the only thing to do is to check on the 'shrink link' in preview before posting, as Stan said he usually did ;D

PS for OP. Parts of present day Newcastle were not listed as they were classified as in Northumberland (mostly Castle Ward) then.
