I have a large hand drawn map of Diss and Shelfhanger in about 1828  that has some road and lane names in it. It is about 6" to the mile so its quite detailed. Where exactly are you looking for?

Hi Bugbear an everyone else,

I know its is a while since this thread was last accessed but the map images of Diss 1637 are magic.
Part of my family hale from Diss and these maps add to my historical information. Thank you so much. My earliest members are slipping into the 1690's so quite relevant.

KGarard One would need a street map for 1841 for those districts any idea where that might be found please.

Thanks everyone.

As I said back in 2014, street maps weren't of much use in small towns and country areas.
Many towns didn't have addresses as such!
People just knew who lived where. :D

Hi KGarrard,

Yes I read that and I understand but you gave a list of Enumeration Districts with streets as boundaries, 
such as:
"The 1841 census of Diss, Description of Enumeration District simply says:
Enumeration District 11
All that part of the Township of Diss, consisting of Cock Street, the Back Lane, and Cock Street Green.

 Enumeration District 12
All that part of the Township of Diss, consisting of Crown Street, Rayden Road and Shelfanger Road"

 
and so on...

I was wondering where one would get a diagram showing those sections of the Township of Diss in 1841 .  or 1851.
   
Thanks for those districts in any case.
Cheers,   Essnell

The Descriptions of the Enumerator's route are available wherever you look at census images.
Page 1 of each Folio.

I copied, and posted, these descriptions back in 2014.
