How to trace a ancestor's house.

[mark foot]

My ancestor George Higgins (previous unrelated message sent) was a police constable who in the 1870/80's lived in Tatworth near Chard. He moved with the police to Curry Rivel in 1886 after 21 years at Tatworth. The 1871 census names him living in Tatworth Street in Tatworth and I would be interested to know if the house has survived and where it is. In Oct 1880 the Frome Times and also the Western Gazette reported that P.C. Higgins had raised the alarm when Mr Denning's bakehouse (which was next door) caught fire. The bakehouse was destroyed but the house was saved.
