Course of old River Don

My grandmother lived in Boundary House, High Street, Luddington, which my father said was built on the course of the old River Don. Can anyone verify this please?

Thank you so much for this. I had a problem getting onto the old-maps website. (I suspect you have to register). But the nls map was brilliant with the marking for the course of the old river Don in 1888 and the up-to-date view side-by-side.

You don't have to register on https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/ you only have to register if you want the maximum zoom, it does say "Subscribe to view mapping at this zoom level" Just change the zoom level with the + - in the top left corner.
