Uppingham Yards
« on: Tuesday 22 June 21 10:00 BST (UK) »
When searching the late Victorian censuses I have come across a number of Yards in this Rutland town. These include Bullocks Yard, Unicorn Yard and Hope's Yard. I realise these all arose from North Street but is it possible to localise them on an old map. I think I can visualise Rope Walk on the OS map of about 1893.

Many thanks, Alan

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Thank you. That's most useful.

I had a funny feeling that Hope's Yard might have been Bullock's Yard originally
