Boond St, Salford

[ele002]

Does anybody know where Boond St was located in Salford?

I know it was around in the 1820's.

Not to be confused with the 2 in Ancoats!

Thanks, Eric.

It's still there now. Just google it. It runs between Greengate and Queen Street.

Well, Well. I thought I'd seen it somewhere. I knew it was in the Greengate area, but I looked in a couple of not too old A-Z's and it wasn't shown.

Not to worry. many thanks to you both

It's a pleasure. Strange name isn't it.

[ele002]

It is, yet there were also 2 in Ancoats, 1 still survives.

Strange thing is that I had someone living in the one in Salford and someone with the same surname, who I'm sure was related to him, lived in one of them in Ancoats in the 1840/50's.

Must be a connection. Maybe someone knows the origin of the name.

Something here about Thomas Boond - Ancoats.

Just found some references to some manufacturers called Boond who were at Ardwick & Ancoats Grove which made me think they may have owned land or property in the area.

Have to sit down with a drink and digest.

Thanks.

I am currently researching the Boond family. Son of a labourer, Thomas was baptized in Rostherne in 1739. As this is where the Leigh family attended church, they must have known each other. Thomas and his brother Peter came to Manchester in 1775 to purchase part of Ancoats from the Leigh family (I have no idea where they got the money) and then sold it to developers, thus igniting the Industrial Revolution. Bntil he went bankrupts.oth Peter and Thomas had children, and Thomas's son, John, held property in Salford until he went bankrupt.
