madannie77 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Granville Lane ran parallel to, and to the east of Granville Street. It can be seen on the It is on the bottom two maps, to the right of "Midland Station". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Togger See this topic about Granville Lane is covered there. Although since I took the photo's in that topic some parkland development work has taken place on the bank, and some of Granville Lane may have been lost.

togger Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks all. Now i know why i cant find it on the maps on the site - because that one is missing, oh well maybe it will materialise one day. Now, how do i find out which house was number 42 Granville lane ?

tozzin Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Granville Lane is still technically there but its the Tram route at the back of the Station. One picture shows the length of the Lane and the other the type of housing that your relatives probably lived in.
