vox Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Here's Pond Hill in 1896 Insurance Plans No sign that I can see of a court 6 though. Source - British Library - www.bl.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Here it is by the look of it. Although it doesn't appear to have an entrance on Pond Hill, I think it is the right one. There is another Court 6 lower down which appears to be on Pond Street Source - British Library - www.bl.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie117 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you very much for this, would you have one of Sussex Street also. much obliged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 No, they only cover town centre area. I've looked on most of the maps on this site and can't find anything which shows Sussex St in detail, apart from the 1950's OS maps. By the look of things, by that time, it was all works buildings.

SteveHB Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Court 8 Sussex Street was to the east of the North Pole PH, no idea where court 2 was located, it does not appear to be listed in the directories I have checked. Circa 1903 map. Link to Flash Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just to prove Court 2 Sussex Street existed, here's the 1881 census return. Court 2 probably never appeared in trade directories as the labourers who lived there didn't need an entry and couldn't afford the cost. The 1890 1:500 map is what's needed, but as old-maps have spoilt their site, this is the best resolution I can get (and it's not good enough). But as a guess, I'd expect Court 2 to be just behind Victoria Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the location could be narrowed down by analysis of the census enumerator's walk. EDIT: Here's the 1891 Census description which refers to Kent Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The 1897 map shows Kent Lane well south of the actual village of Newbold Kent Lane is now part of Highfield Road (circled red below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
