If you want to search if any address is still used try

https://www.royalmail.com

you do have to register but it's free, but you are limited to a number of searches per session.

Hi Mike,

I live in Droylsden, if you wish I could always take a picture of Chapel Street on my Digi camera and send you a copy.  Let me know.

Hi Mike

Just checked my A/Z of Manchester, all but Chapel Street have gone, in fact I have been looking for Chester Street myself for another Rootschatter.

I have found google earth really useful.

Sometimes it is more useful to look for the streets within the enumerators description of the area.
