Runcorn Maps/Streets/Images
« on: Tuesday 18 March 14 02:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

I have found numerous relatives of mine living accross Runcorn, Cheshire.  These include:

8 Windmill Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1873)
 7 Lightfoot`s Square, Runcorn, Cheshire (1898)
Fryer Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1853)
16 Frederick Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1913)
2 Lightfoots Court, Heath Road, Runcorn, Cheshire (1896)
Zion Place, Runcorn, Cheshire (1880)
6 Queen Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1890)
11 Jackson's Lane (1920s-1950s)
Ivy Street, Runcorn, Cheshire (1958)

I am interested in seeing these places on a map, along with how close they are to each other and with images if possible.  A big ask, but you don't ask ...

Thank you,

Peter

Google Maps, and Google Street View, will show you most of these places. ;D

Only Windmill Street, Queen Street, Fryer Street, and Ivy Street appear on the current Runcorn Street map, there is only the entrance to Fryer Street existing now.

This map shows Jackson's Lane, Frederick Street, and Windmill Street. Zion Place, Lightfoot's Court, and  Lightfoot`s Square were in the same area according to the census.

Thank you KGarred, I had already done that  :D but actually wanted maps/images from the time!

So thank you so much stanmapstone!  Your work is much, much appreciated.

I just wonder if you could post a map showing the two main C of Churches in relation to these houses?

Thank you again.  How would I get images of these places, if they exist?

Have a look at the Cheshire Image Bank http://cheshireimagebank.org.uk/index.php and Runcorn History Society http://www.runcornhistsoc.org.uk/
