Breedon on the Hill
« on: Thursday 25 June 20 17:00 BST (UK) »
Are there any detailed street maps of Breedon on the Hill from, say, 1845 to 1900? I'm looking in particular for Chapel Street and Fishpool Street (1881 census) where my ancestors lived.  I can see on the maps I have that there was a Methodist Chapel, and I understand that the War Memorial now stands on part of the green formerly known as Fish Pool.  So I can guess at the approximate location of each, but it would be a bonus to see where the actual streets were.

Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you.

This one has some street names - zoom out to see the details - https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/440392/322848/12/100954

The map list also goes back to 1882 but no street names - the 1:2500 series

This gives a broader picture but no street names - https://maps.nls.uk/view/114591870

Just a thought - have you tried to contact the parish council?

Or this company for old maps:

Thank you very much, David. I need to subscribe to Old Maps as, without that, I'm not able to zoom in sufficiently. But I'll consider doing that if I can't find the information elsewhere. Christine

Thank you for the suggestions, BumbleB. I'll contact the parish council and, in the meantime, have a look at the Francis Frith site. Christine

Check this site out, I haven't looked right through it but there are images of the Fishpools along with other early images, interesting read.
