Caroline - sorry I couldn't get a result. Have you tried using a trade directory they may identify people around that time - there are some on the Historical Directories site. There's a mention in British History Online:

Thank you- the Directories have lots of references to Botteslow Street in Hanley- but nothing re Botteslow Farm etc.Thank you for the suggestion anyway!

Thank you. My grandmother Lilian milner was born on 20th dec 1904 at botteslow farm and I am intrigued as to why they were living there as they were in the pottery industry. Any suggestions would be helpful. Was there a flint mine nearby maybe? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Here’s a map view showing where it was.

That is wonderful Alan! Thank you so much! I can now go and find the exact location!
Is there any way to print off copies of the side by side maps for my records? I tried to save and print but it came up blank.

I cannot thank you enough for all your help.

I think that your best bet is to zoom to an optimum view, close all of the pop-up windows and make a screenshot. You can order pdfs of individual old OS maps (not side-by-side views), but in my limited experience they are of rather low resolution: screenshots of the high resolution online view will be better, and free!

Also note that you can change the modern view between various options: I left it as a satellite view because it clearly shows that the farm isn’t there any more.

Was Lily (May?) the dau. of George Harry Milner and Ruth Corden? Her address is 25 Bottleslow Street in both 1911 and 1921. Do you have her parents marr. cert to check their addresses in 1904?
