Looking for the location of Holgate Street, Manchester.
« on: Tuesday 29 January 19 15:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello. I have been through my collection of Godfrey's Manchester maps in an attempt to locate Holgate Street, Central Manchester, without success. In Slater's 1911 Directory the Street is mentioned in the index as being adjacent to Corporation Street, but not included in the directory itself. There is a Back Holgate Street on my 1930s map, but this is some distance from Corporation Street. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can see Holgate Street on the Town Plan at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/384116/398847/13/100874
Change the zoom if necessary
If you zoom right out you get the modern map.
