Wye street Middlesbrough 1911 Census

[G Hearse]

Can someone help locate this street? Possibly North Ormesby ??

Hi

According to Kelly's Directory N & E Ridings 1913 Part 1 it lies between 160 and 172 Alwyn Terrace in Middlesbrough (page 208). You can see this by searching

http://www.historicaldirectories.org

Good luck

Hello

On the 1911 Census Search page select the "Place" tab. Then, if you enter "Wye" in the "Street" box and "Yorkshire North Riding" in the "County" box and "Middlesbrough" in the "Residential place" box and click the "Search" button there should be 43 hits for Wye Street.

Whoops - now my sight is failing!

From the 1913 Kelly's Wye Street, Middlesbrough seems to cross

Albyn Terrace at 160-172 and
Primrose Terrace at 177-189.

Unfortunately none of these streets appear in Middlesbrough on the modern streetmap and I do not seem to be able to find any early maps of Middlesbrough on the web.

Sorry to be so unhelpful

I do not seem to be able to find any early maps of Middlesbrough on the web.

Hello

Have a look on this site ....

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/IndexMapPage2.aspx

and enter "Middlesbrough" in the "Search" box and enter Coordinates 450200 and 520000 and then hit "Go".

When the first (blank) map appears, scroll down and select map number 9 (of 15) - 1923 Durham 1:10,560. When that map appears on screen after a few seconds, use the zoom facility on the left hand side and click on the box next to the top one. Wye Street should now be visible in the same vicinity as Avon Street, Lune Street and Severn Street.

Thank you Posteria and well done.  That looks like it and I think it is in North Ormesby.  Now I cannot see Primrose Terrace or Albyn Terrace so I better apologise for being quite confusing.

The area seems to have been heavily redeveloped - Borough Road and Marton Road still follow the previous line but Grange Road had developed some wriggles and the area of Wye Road now has a completely different layout.

All the best

  Found it.  The area has beeen redeveloped but outer set of houses still there so signage may still be in place. thanks for that.

Hello there, just noticed this thread,

I live really close to this area, there is a remaining terrace on the Borough Road/Marton Road crossroads, which borders Severn Street. If you like I could check it out for you and see if any signage for Wye Street remains?

*** Edit*** forgot to add, I have a camera so if you want any photos of the area as it is now, I can help with that too

Thanks for that, Hopefully there is some sign still inplace
