LeadFarmer Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is it where Milton Street is now, albeit partly built on and realigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Milton Street is on the old map just the label is missing (the orphaned "Street"). It's more along the line of Charter Row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichK Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Here's a wider view, the red marks on both maps are the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobN Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I remember going in the old army surplus store on Button Lane with my older brothers. They bought some old WD telephones and candlestick type phones to try and connect up an intercom system at home! Don't remember it working though!
