Claire Pearson Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Has anyone heard of this place? I can't find it on any map or Google search. 1901 baptism. Have used census as well but can't match it up with the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelton Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 According to a newspaper report in 1907, five stone built houses were for sale at Bunkers Hill, Wadsley Bridge. The site is within a three minutes walk of Wadsley Bridge Railway Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 In 1901 the census enumerator walked as follows: Railway Hotel, Penistone Road, Crossley Mount, Crossley View, Trafalgar Place, Rose Bank, May Buildings, Bunkers Hill, Vine Cottage, Fishers Building, Rock House (now at top of Maidstone Road), Mount Pleasant, back to Bunkers Hill, Pheasant Inn, Fairest Houses 1901 map of the area: Quite difficult as few of the houses/terraces have their names marked on the maps, though some have their names engraved on plaques on their frontages. My best guess would be that Bunkers Hill was (is?) somewhere near Trafalgar Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I’d agree with that and I’d hazard a guess at the hill that is shown in the blue circle on the 1905 map below. Using the details from the 1901 census enumerator above and marking the buildings that we can identify, by process of elimination, I reckon that Bunkers Hill must be here or abouts? Railway Hotel Penistone Road Crossley Mount Crossley View Trafalgar Place Rose Bank May Buildings Bunkers Hill Vine Cottage Fishers Building Rock House Mount Pleasant Bunkers Hill Pheasant Inn Fairest Houses Of course, I’d welcome anyone’s opinion otherwise....
