ChrisN Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ok I found it - via the index to the Geographia Streetplan. It's near Burngreave Cemetery, on Map 50 in your large scale 1950s OS maps. Excellent resource chaps! Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Pop into Joseph Yardley's (Shopkeeper and beer retailer, No. 2, 1893) and get me a pint and a loaf please or Joseph Barretta's at 24 (Shopkeeper and beer retailer) if it's closer for you.

SteveHB Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Normanton Street was formally called 'Norman Street', if you take a look on the Bacon's map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Any evidence to back that up please Steve ? Any directory entries/census information - anyone ? Could just be lack of space on the map and an abbreviation .... just a thought. Normanton Street was formally called 'Norman Street', if you take a look on the Bacon's map.

No. 24 would have been nearest - my Grandfather was born at no. 23 where his mother was a dressmaker. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
