Title: Joel Place, Busk, Chadderton, Oldham
Post by: CezzaE on Thursday 11 October 18 15:38 BST (UK)

Hi All

In 1911 we have found my husband GGrandparents living in 1 Joel Place, Chadderton (Busk), Oldham.   Now I've tried looking on old maps and just generally googling it but as of yet we cannot locate where Joel Place is.
Can anyone point me in the direction ?

Thanks in advance   :) :)

If you page back on the census to the previous street maybe that can be found to help locate the one you want  :)

You can see Joel Place on this map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/391222/405516/13/100678
Change the zoom with the - + in the top left corner.

Joel place was just under the arrow , running horizontal in the picture . It was still standing in 1968 as I had a distant relative who lived at No4 . Joel Place would be just at the side of the long boarded up pub that can be seen on Google street view . Use the street names to reference where it would have been in relation to present day
