Guest John Bray Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi I am looking for info about Bishop Hill from around 1940, I was born there in 1957. From my mother;s BC I noted No. 19 Bishop Hill. All the house go up on the evens, with just a few in the odds on the opposite side. At the moment I cannot think where the early odds would have been. Does anyone have any historical maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unitedite Returns Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have only one image of Bishop's Hill, taken 07/02/1977, which I attach herewith. Unfortunately, it was not one of those areas of Woodhouse that I looked at in depth, essentially, because it was never "threatened" at that time, unlike other parts of the village. I think that I was probably right in that respect, as I believe that you could take a very similar photograph, from the self-same spot today. If I recall, the road was only partially metalled and possibly un-adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John Bray Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have found 19 Bishop Hill. The houses were re numbered in 1934. What's now 42 to 50 was 16 to 20. I now have copy of original deeds of the plot of land dating back to 1879. If anyone is interested message me on Facebook with an email address and I will forward bits on.
